I don't know why I bother sometimes

It's all rather depressing and it beats me why I pore over balance sheets, visit projects, grill management teams and read dozens of NRs every day when all I really need to do is ask three questions:

1) Does it trade on the US market?

2) Does it produce gold or silver?

3) Is it regularly pumped to fools who are separated from their cash time and time again*?

If the answer to those three is yes, then buy it. Forget about the crappy deposit, the constant managerial failures, the broken promises and the production shortfalls, just STFU and buy it.
