And will you sell it all? or just some of it?

    I voted - take it with me, as I didn't see "when I retire and need some money" as an option.

    My target was at $25 because I needed some cash but didn't want to sell any gold.
    That's the main reason I buy PM, they are cash and it's more fun than looking at your bank statement! image

    like other things i'd need to look at what is drivng the price up or down and decide then. i guess i am trying to get close to the end of the bull run and would rather sell into it.

    Do your best to avoid circular arguments, as it will help you reason better, because better reasoning is often a result of avoiding circular arguments.

    My target is when I'm 70.

    I have no "target", the market determines what it will be, not me. Therefore, I continue to flip some, take those profits to buy some, to put away for when I'm gone from this Earth for those who may need it.

    I don't have a target. I buy when I have spare cash, and I'll sell when I need it.

    With silver hitting new 30 year highs and gold assaulting all-time highs, King World News interviewed James Turk out of Spain. When asked about the action in both gold and silver Turk stated, “Just like last year, the metal prices are going to continue higher. It really doesn’t surprise me that both of the metals are in the process of taking out their previous highs, both gold and silver remain relatively undervalued. ...

Instead of a rush for liquidity, the primary objective will be a rush to safety and that means avoiding counter-party risk. The best way to do that is to own physical metal

    I don't have a target There is no limit as to how high silver can go just as there is no limit as to how high the national debt can go. My silver stash is like a savings account and I'll sell some or all when that proverbial rainy day comes.

    I'm really stunned that so many people have already reached their target and have sold.

    That's great, if you feel it's been a successful ride for you. I just can't imagine selling my stash. Maybe at $50 or higher.

    When the deficit disappears.

    Or when the dollar becomes worthless, in which case I'll use the silver for barter.

    I'm going to try to sell the day before it "feels" to high.

    With current economic conditions it's very difficult to predict what that level will be. There's
    every possibility I won't live to see this time as it might not be any time soon. I believe that
    in the lifetime of people living today that the price of silver will exceed the price of gold but
    this will occur after most of our fundamental problems have been fixed so gold prices will
    be much closer to historic lows than historic highs.

    The best thing for silver prices would be an economic recovery. This would help gold only if
    accompanied by inflation which is a safe bet for any recovery at this time.

    My target has nothing to do with price.

    It's to do with its price ratio with the DJIA.

    I haven't sold any silver to date...but I think I'll unload it chunk by chunk during retirement ...which begins about 10 years down the road.

    Great answer. PM's are an insurance policy.

    I have sold some (about 1/3) of my silver since the fall when it moved into the $20s. Most of it was odds and ends and less desirable stuff. About half of that went back into gold. The other half Christmas and house projects. If I had the ability to keep it all I would of

    My BIL sold 80 silver rounds a few months ago....however.com he held on to about 150 morgans/peace and another 100 Liberties. He told me last week he was waiting for somewhere around 50 for his liberties, and north of that before he'd part with the real money. He buys gold almost everyday of the week off different shops and individuals and he ends up with lots silver which he just hordes up.

    so when Au = DJIA you will sell silver? i know it's your gold mantra and a good one, yet Ag may be a different animal?

    i don't know what other factors i'd put into my equation, but if China designates silver a rare earth element by decree, then i'd probably hang onto it a wee bit more.image

    Let's say it's my "PM" mantra.

    I am contemplating switching all my silver for gold in the very near future.

    Although I feel I may be jumping the gun as silver probably will pick up more ground on gold this year (gold silver ratio will go lower), I think it may be wise to get into gold as this would certainly protect me if there was another major economic slowdown this year (something that I fear will happen).

    If this does happen, PM's would go lower, but silver would suffer much more than gold.

    I will sell in 20 years in retirement. By then it may be at $200/ounce. Hopefully I will be in a lower tax bracket by then.
