Buying metals with home equity loan...??

Maybe even a reverse mortgage that doesn't even need repaying (if you qualify by age)
I thunk up this scheme in the early 2000s.
Bank of England had just displayed their incredible stupidity in selling all their gold. Drove price to $252.
In the shop, I went crazy buying. Did not sell. Traded, sure, but overall kept adding position.

Anyhow....had I done it, it would have been so smart.

    I'm guessing anything you borrow now will be payed back with cheap money so it just depends on the rate.

    I would never pay interest on my metals. No loans and no credit cards unless I pay it in full and get cash back rewards.

    Do it, if the trade doesn't go right just file bankruptcy. Then you can run the show. lol

    The thing about a reverse mortgage is that you are handing ownership over for cash flow. I suppose that it does depend on the circumstances, i.e. you never plan to live anywhere else.

    Q: Are You Printing Money? Bernanke: Not Literally

    I knew it would happen.

    Take out a reverse mortgage and use the money to buy metals while renting the house out to illegal aliens on the down low. Buy the metal with cash obviously , you are going to need a boat and a passport obviously at the end
