Thanks for the honest reply TF...was pretty much the response I expected but it never hurts to ask. As far as investing in a mining fund...that is an option I will look into.
I enjoy the technical side of mining and...the joy and awe of "creating" something out of "nothing"

so I am sure that as long as there is a profit to be made I will be into it. After some more thought this morning I think I am leaning towards ordering a couple of bfl jalapeno's at the 1st of the month thru pp. When and if they ship who knows but in the time that they do..I can learn more about the market and perhaps save up for a serious investment.
I am still actively looking for micro loans to establish myself as well.
Thanks
