    Retail premiums still at 1950-2k.

    I have been buying for the past year, so I'll admit this stings a little, even though I was not planning to sell any.

    Huge increase in money supply should result in much higher prices, no? Just takes time to work through the system or is something else at play here?

    I was thinking we'd be seeing $2500 gold and $50 silver in no time.

    I'm waiting for that stimulus shoe to drop, too. I can only guess that we are still the best place to put money....

    and look at the world class debt we have... we always pay interest on time and the principal back. (could we borrow $100? we need to pay you that $90 interest payment)

    There is no direct connection between events and prices.

    Take the dates off a price chart and how many can figure out what supposedly drove the price? Whenever we read commentary about what supposedly drove the day's price action or is driving the trend, the writer is just making it up. When it is convenient, writers use one reason and when it doesn't "fit" they use another, even if these supposed reasons conflict with each other.

    There is only one actual reason why prices move, human optimism or pessimism. Why they may be so is a function of their psychology.

    Yeah...they've shown that the majority of that money has either gone to savings, investing, or paying bills....ie, not for living expenses themselves...that is, like, the smallest % it is used for.

    So, when the next one hits, economists are calling for it to follow the same pattern.

    And, people still want to stay unemployed....talked with someone I know who drives a schoolbus (schools in our area are JUST getting ready to reopen in a minor capacity...K-5 or something) and he said he makes MORE getting unemployment than he does working....so he doesn't want to go back to work. Not the first person I have heard this from either.

    So, they don't want to work, they can't go out (most everything is locked down), can't travel easily for vacations, etc......where does the stimulus money go? Investments and savings (and booze, MJ, and casinos).

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Don't be worried about a little price drop.

    Be more concerned about the amount of ounces you have and not the amount of price.

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I read that the money moved out of gold and into Bitcoins.... Not sure how long that will last... Or why some thought it was a good move. Cheers, RickO

    i have to say, although I love the idea of gold and silver. Over the past 12 years, it's been one of the worst investments of my life. I would have made infinitely more money in the stock market or bitcoin.

    Dare i say it? Gold and Silver sucks. (and this is coming from someone that still owns it).

    Gold and Silver are one of those investments that seem to make sense intellectually, but it's too manipulated to ever make a good investment. Forget about Gold and Silver and buy Stocks and Crypto.

    Do you think that stocks and crypto aren't also being manipulated? :D

    Using hindsight... perhaps true. But one never knows until later what 'investments' will turn out best. There is risk in everything, and expect that anything that 'can' be manipulated.... will be manipulated to someone's advantage. If ones goal with gold and silver was purely as an investment... then it may or may not be a wise investment.

    But those who hold gold and silver as 'insurance' (as compared to investment)... are not nearly as concerned. In that case, the object is diversification of one's assets, and as a safeguard against destruction of the dollar, and other scenarios. A different situation entirely... and any profit that happens with it is icing on the cake.

    I need gold to get to $50,000 an ounce and silver to get to $5,000 an ounce. Maybe then I can buy a Ferrari.

    Of course by then, the Ferrari will be 2.5 million or worse

    Your comments are dead-on right.

    Gold and Silver sucks. (and this is coming from someone that still owns it).

    From an investment standpoint, total return is only one component of a sound investment. There is no getting away from risk vs. reward. You can buy many "investments" that provide a much higher yield than what pms have done for the past 10 years.

    No doubt, the return from a Fed-supported stock market has out-performed gold & silver. I would've thought as far back as 10 years ago that the math of US Treasuries would have self-destructed before now. And yet - the multiple trillion dollar magic money tree still hasn't blown up.

    There's a simple question to consider - do you trust Wall Street, cryptos, or the banking system when none of them have any meaningful oversight, and when we continue plunging into debt so quickly that pretty soon even the interest payments on the debt will eat up the entire GDP, especially if interest rates move up nominally, as they must?

    Do you feel lucky?

    Bitcoin is up $36,000 since everyone here told me it was worthless. Tesla just bought 1.5bn and will be using it for their products. Ethereum is also an option. Both hit new ATH's today.

    $TSLA was a good play; $GME is in a short squeeze with almost no shares left available. $AMC data is being manipulated and the bot armies are increasing their fear campaigns. So I threw money at that, too. People are going long on $BB which might be $30 eow.

    The world is waking up to the fix of gold and silver markets. Nobody my age and definitely nobody younger really wants anything to do with coins or metals bc the game is so rigged. After this GME/AMC/NOK/BB thing wraps up, I doubt many will want to use the stock market ever again, either.

    Bot armies, disinformation campaigns and fear campaigns have been laid bare for the world to see like never before.

    Which is too bad because coin collecting is fun; sucks that greed has robbed three generations of that magic and wealth.
