Do you ever give yourself props?

I always think I'm going to jinx it when I start being happy about a purchase.

Last Friday (well late Thursday night) I bought 10 oz Pd @ $386.

One week later and it's $470.

Up and away, or crash and burn?

    How did you get that tick? Kitco is showing the 30-day low as $415.

    Actually should have said $396, Cap'n. I believe kitco shows closes, not intraday.

    Sometimes I give myself props when I find a silver art bar that was on my "wish list" for a decent premium over spot silver.
    DISCLAIMER: I am NOT a '70's silver art bar expert but I try my best to play one on the Internet.

    Only once... for buying the 2008 Four Coin Buffalo set from the mint. Can you give yourself props for being just lucky ?

    I bought a few oz. of gold when it fell to just over $700 in the fall of '08. Turned out to be a smart move!

    I gave myself props when I bought 40 1/2oz JM silver bar for $12-15 each and sold almost all of them in the range of 30-55 bucks...
    My B&M didn't know they were rare...then he started listing them on eBay by himself! image

    About 20 years ago I bought a wooden prop off a WWII aircraft, a Stinson L-5. Does that count? image

    What's a prop? Think of me as being somewhat dense.image
