Do I buy now or wait?
Decisions, decisions.

Guess I could always average down.
The most money I made are on coins I haven't sold.

Got quoins?

    Neat little panic at market open this morning! I'm proud to say I did my part to make it all better...image

    Helped some Nasdaq investors feel better too.... image


  • What on earth do we need a draft for?
    I heard they were making a French version of Medal of Honor. I wonder how many hotkeys it'll have for "surrender."

    GOOD!

    When gold hits speculative levels for the bullion, it drives the prices up on collector grade type coins. During these periods I have to tell my customers who are working on their 8 or 12 piece type sets that they had best “cool it” if they don’t want to lose money on items like the St. Gaudens $20 gold.

    It’s been said, “Make money with your arse. Buy land and sit on it.” The precious metals markets do not work that way. The idea is to buy low and sell high. And when billion prices are high SELL if you want to make money OR avoid losing money.

    Isn’t it amazing how people will flock to buy gold when the price is at a two or three year high, and yet totally avoid it when it is at a low from a similar time period? It’s one of the reasons why investment counselors steer people away from gold. They are not rational about their purchases most of the time.

    Could this be the result of folks cashing in on gold and silver's rise?

    Ah, but Bill, it's an "expected correction" and will only be "temporary". image

    Well this is just Neat! A 10% profit in 3 hours............. I just may go fishing for free this weekend.

    And, I think I'll listen to Bill and wait before buying any eagles............

    Nope, it's the short sellers doing their thing. Russ, I'm at a loss as to how a commodity whose demand is stable and supply is shrinking can stay low forever, but oh well image

    End the manipulation and prices will rise. Until then it IS speculation. The fundamentals are sound, but too many people with deep pockets have too much to lose if silver prices go up.

    If demand were actually stable, and if supply were actually shrinking, I'd agree. There is no such thing as stable demand in commodities; it goes up, it goes down at the whim of the most powerful force of all - psychology. As for the fallacy of shrinking supply; if history has taught us anything it is that once price reaches a certain level, supply is suddenly found and expanded.

    I guess one could say the same thing about currency - especially the US dollar.

    Don't look at kitco tonight if you are a fan of fiat currency...

    I must have different charts than everyone else. Kitco is showing a $4 climb up...and staying there as of 22:17 NY time. That was 6 minutes ago.

    Bill, you can use this same logic for stocks, tech stocks, real estate, etc. Market psychology drives all those the same way. Human nature is driven by emotions (lust, greed, etc.). Every market cycles on this. Coins too. Boom to bust. And with the extra credit the FED has supplied to us in the past few years, it is even more acute.

    Noticed that is is an old thread.

    On April 14, 2004 gold closed in NY at $399.10.

    Tonight it is around $422 to $428 range.

    Gold is behaving very well.

    sure enough Oreville. It was resurrected at just the "wrong" time
    to bring us into a time space contiuum singularity. We could have lost the whole enchalida had the contiuum been breached.

  • If you are worried about a $ 6 move you should rethink your position as well as the level of risk you are comfortable with......
