Will Hold To My Word

Last week, I stated here on the forum that when silver hit $18.00, I would increase my position, well going out today to puchase silver and up my (GTS) Gold to Silver ratio. I hope there is some left at the B&M.

I'm not one bit worried about paying todays prices cause I'm buying for hedge, long term, and not for the flip or quick profit.

    Good idea - Buy Silver.

    Better Idea - Exchange your Gold for Silver.

    Agree. Too many people don't want to buy PM's when they are cheap but decide to buy after a major price increase. Not the most efficient investment strategy.image

    I know, I know. Sometimes it's hard to pull the trigger. Some here suggested that $18 silver would truly signal a strong run up. I was heading their advice. Went to local B&M at lunch, bought 2 ea 10 oz. Engelhart and 2 ea 1 ozers.

    I've really been buying all along, Maple Leaf 2 weeks ago, 10 oz silver 3 weeks ago, etc etc.

    Question - friend is asking if he should take his cash emergency fund and buy PM's? ($8,000 I think) I hesitate what to advise him. Opinions?

    I would not advise your friend to buy precious metals right now Gold and Silver have run quite a bit this year, November is historically a strong month for precious metals but maybe there will be a pullback late Decemeber/ January. If he wants to hold long term especially Silver then he could probably take the plunge.
  • Appreciate the reply. Yep, I hate to advise people, not my profession. Sometimes silence is golden.

    Depends on his time horizon.

    If he's looking at 6 months down the road, then I wouldn't advise PM's.

    But if he's looking at longer than 2 years, then personally, I'd advise even my own Mother to buy PM's.

  • As I type silver is at $18.22. Still low IMHO. Buy now and plan to hold for a bit.

    $22 silver is not that far off.

    I just bought 300 more ounces. These prices are still way below what I perceive to be the medium-long term value of silver.
