in Precious Metals
As stackers, we often attain goals we set out to achieve. There are certain milestones in our "hoarding" lives, and im about to achieve one very soon. The milestone im about to pass is my 1st 1,000 ounces of silver. I think thats a fairly formidable amount, and im proud to have accomplished the feat. Listed below are some other potential milestones for bullion folks.

Gold

5oz
10oz
Kilo
50oz
100oz

Silver

100oz
500oz
1,000oz
5,000oz

What sort of milestones have you set out to achieve and have succeded?

    image Wow, congrats Gecko! That's quite a big hoard!

    I just passed my 100 oz of silver (not considering numismatics items). I am thinking to stop at 200 since it may be a problem carrying them back to Italy (if I ever decide to go back). Gold would be easier to carry! image
    My first target is 5oz of gold by the end of the year and then I will keep stacking.

    Of course, I can change my mind if silver goes back to $10-13!

    Good job again!

    My son is here helping me find something interesting on eBay. He said he likes Pd better!

    Actually its quite surprising how little space 65+ pounds of silver occupies! It will all fit easily into a standard sized shoebox with plenty of room to spare. I hope your newborn boy understands that Pd is strictly an industrial metal with no psychological ties to use as "money"....just sayin.image

    I was happy to hit 10% of net worth.

    I passed that mark long ago....but I aint really worth much, truth be told!image
  • WeissWeiss Posts: 9,941 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I hear you, gecko. About 2 years ago I kind of had a wake-up call concerning my asset distribution. It was something like 96% in real estate image

    I'd always had a little Ag and Au, and had been adding since '05. But I immediately began stacking in earnest. Now it's closer to 70% real estate. image

    Congrats on 1000 oz. I have a year end goal of a certain $ figure that will put me at 20% in PMs
  • TomohawkTomohawk Posts: 667 ✭✭
    My next milestone would be 500 oz of Silver...about half way there now. My ultimate goal would be 1,000 oz's, then I'll probably try to start some gold stacking.

    And like you, Gecko, the PM balance is WAY over 10% of my net worth...ain't much other than silver at the moment!

    Question from a newbie. Are most of you stacking ASE's, Morgans/Peace, Commem's? Or something else? I am sure this is a stupid question so feel free to ridicule me after you answer it.

    I like variety so I buy whatever comes along at a good price. I've got silver bars of various sizes and manufacturers, 900 fine junk silver coins, silver rounds, ASE's, etc. I like good deals and lots of variety.image

    Recently hit a milestone of 0 gold and 0 silver LOL image
  • zrlevinzrlevin Posts: 734 ✭✭✭
    Right now I'm at 68oz of silver and .85 oz of gold. I'd like to get to 100 and 1.5, respectively, in the next few months. I try to keep my values of gold and silver roughly equal.

    I'm also at $71.20 in 90%. I'd like to first round that off to a nice $75 in my little canvas bag, then maybe go to $100.

    I don't have any milestones, just a continuous buying plan.

    For every $500 I spend on silver, I spend $2,500 on gold.
    Whatever that adds up to in the end if fine with me. image

    One of my customers ordered a monster box of 2010 AGE a few months ago(no not from me) , all in 1 lick. I would have never believed it(not becuase he doesnt have the money, which i know he does, just becuase its unherd of at least around here, but I saw it first hand, a sight to be hold. 25 rolls of 20 Gold eagles.

    Just curious why you don't include your 90% in your total silver count? Personally, all my silver (except for the jewelry I find) is in 90% coins.

    My 90% is included in the 68oz. They are just two separate tallies of about the same thing.

    Gecko, congratulations on 1000 oz of silver. It is a great round number.

    I've hit my 1000 oz goal for silver. You're right about the limited space needed for 1000 oz. USPS makes a small Priority Small Flat Rate box just perfect for housing ten - 10 ounce bars. Those boxes in turn stack nicely in a SDB.

    My next goal is 100 oz of gold. Before I retire I want 30% of net worth in AU and AG.

    image I am at about 8% and working to 10%. At that point I will look and see what is going on in my life. My main focus has been on gold lately.
    PEACE! This is the first day of the rest of your life.

    I forgot to add a gold chain and medallion my grandmother gave me that belonged to my grandfather. It is 18K and total weight is 43 grams. It also has 10 small diamonds. Grandpa bought it back in the days for like $350

    I dont count it towards my gold stash because that will never leave the family. Some things have no price
