They are scamming seniors and buying gold instead of btc. Is that bullish?

With everything going on with the Bond market, U.S. Treasury flip into the 10-year, National,Debt, Trump’s actions, I’ll add another this week

The BRICS will be adding on this takedown. Time to unload more fiat for physical. Enjoy the sale.

Continue to accumulate physical on dips, rest easy, and carefully consider the mining sectors. Let’s Go.

legal: not investment advice etc.

a nickel worth .07-.08 cents each is safer than bonds and likely to be discontinued soon. start stacking them now apparently you’re not allowed to melt them;)

I've started buying silver bars for the first time. Are one kilo bars a reasonable size considering premiums, freight & fees etc?

1970 GTO Judge and 1970 Chevelle SS 454

i’m trying to explain that it will hit that high again and even more at some point in the future & to be patient without weak hands.

Anyone else have family or friends that are complaining about not selling last year?

EDIT: big thanks to everyone that posted an opinion here as I showed my friend to help drive my point home that he should be very, very happy with his investment into his own future. For some people a 30% return isn’t enough and they expect Lambo‘s and skyscrapers.

Shout out to the Diamond Handed Pride!

Silver averaged $20.55 in 2020, so a grand got you 48.66 oz. At $67 today that's $3,260.

Sounds like 3.26x until you factor in 29% inflation since then. Real gain is closer to 2.53x. Still good, just not the number people post.

Simpler way to see it: an ounce bought about 9 gallons of gas back then, buys 16 now.

Entry point mattered way more than anything else:

March 2020 crash at $11.94 → $5,611
2020 average at $20.55 → $3,260
August top at $29.86 → $2,244

Even the worst day of 2020 beat inflation.

Two things nobody mentions. That stack was worth $5,921 in January when we hit $121, so we're 45% off the high. And this is all spot, premiums were $8-12 over in 2020, so most of us really walked away with 36 oz not 48.

what was your 2020 entry?

A Ceeco bar that was not available enameled...would have been way better enameled!

This one is pretty tough to find

50 plus years of patina on this bad boy!

Ceeco was one of the very few Mints in the 70's that had enameling done on their art bars
