You say that like $19 is real money? $19 is barely six gallons of gas. Regular gas.

Gold is at $955.90. I guess the threatened IMF gold sale really has the gold bulls spooked.

True that MrEureka, true that.

In that case silver just hit about six gallons of gas.

MrEureka:

New Joisey or New Yawk prices?

MrEureka

New Joisey or New Yawk prices?

NJ. I live on the state line. Why would I buy in NY?

oreville

I remember $1 in silver coins buying about 4 plus gallons of gas in 1964.

I remember 10c in silver coins buying a loaf of bread.

Today $1 in silver coins worth about $13 plus in silver now buys about 4 plus gallons of gas in 2008.
10c silver coin buys a half of a loaf of bread in the supermarket and a loaf of bread at the "day old bread store."

Well, a half a loaf is better than nothing at all.

Silver is rapidly approaching the same value it had back in 1964.

And the US Mint just told me that my order for silver State Quarters is canceled.
They are not available.

Oh well. I waited a day too long... Seem to be doing a lot of that lately.

I can remember when $19 would buy a hundred gallons of gas.

It is solidly above $19 in Hong Kong. It should make a move to $20 this week.

I was watching a rerun of Let's Make a Deal from about 1972 on the Game Show Network. 1000 gallons of
Phillips 66 gasoline was the zonk (booby prize) worth just $250

I'm still a buyer of junk silver to this moment...you can still find it under spot, and alotof ebayer sellers are charging short shipping, throwing it in an envelope......I am still a buyer....gonna see $25 oz silver within 2 months or so.

nutz4coinz

Frankcoins...I remember when I first got my license, Mar 1, 1977...gallon of gas was $0.639 a gallon...for 93 octane!!

mrearlygold

nutz4coinz, I'd prefer to see that in a year or two from now but I won't complain if it hits that in 2 months

nutz4coinz

I was just checking the price of oil cause I heard on the news last night it closed above $100/barrel again
Saw silver is now $19.48/oz.

pitboss

and still climbing. I wish I had bought some more of those $21.95 dollars!

Casman

I wish I'd bought more of those silver bars back when silver was $4 and some change.... And to think the discussion back then was the storage problem...

Coxe

As euphoric as the rise is, what will be the buying power of $20 in the not so distant future? The value of the investment is its ability to keep ahead of inflation. Not saying it isn't and isn't going to continue though. But growth also has to be moderated by the real value in terms of buying power. Glad to be in gold and silver instead of dollars anyway.

If you have 12,000 of those $19.00 units it is real money.

In 1921 gas was 16 cents a gallon so 1 silver dollar bought 6 gallons of gas.


It is all relative.

Glad I bought a bunch of those!

bigmansam88

Will it reach $19.80 tomorrow?

Coxe

<< <i>Will it reach $19.80 tomorrow? >>



Doubt it, though nobody really knows. I think it will ride flats for the most part for the next 1-2 days, going no higher than 19.45 and maybe retesting 19.00 support.
