    I have bought some but am waiting to see which way the wind blows. I have enough already and really don't need any more but if the price

    drops drastically I will go for more.

    I dumped $500 face of 90% silver at a coin show in order to buy a nice coin about a year ago when silver was around $36. How could I resist a nice discount like this? I'll be buying some of that back when the dust begins to clear.

    My gut tells me spots have stabilized in the 1600/28.75 area unless we see another margin requirement hike.

    Not buying yet (rather, any more) , chose option 4 because it is closest to accurate, built my PM position 1997-2003, would resume buying at gold 1400 and/or silver 24

    If I come across a nice deal, buying. If I come across a nice offer, selling image

    I missed a buy today for a few Harley Davidson rounds. I offered over spot prices. He said he'd ride it out a while.

    I'm keeping what I have and I may buy something if I like it.

    For me, cash is King right now, and I'll use it judiciously starting NOW. (Actually - when the Mint reprices this week.) My own plan is to start picking off the stuff I've been saving for, one thing at a time - and not in any big rush.

    The drop in prices is enough for me to start buying. I don't care about hitting the exact bottom - we're getting a good discount until further notice. I'm happy with that.image

    Wise wisdom. Many bottoms/opportunities have been missed due to holding out for those last couple dollars. Silver tends to spike pretty hard off the "real" bottom, so waiting to jump in at $2 lower can easily cost you $4-5 above what the current "almost" bottom is.

    Unless I'm interpreting the chart wrong, silver has had a swing of $4.00 today. Now, THAT's volitility.

  • I am buying a little because I don't have much money to invest but I am glad I could get back into silver after selling it all between $35 and $45.

    Gold is a no brainer, I keep adding it on a regular basis. I am actually thinking of getting a 1 ozer, a Buffalo at under $1700 seems like a good deal!

  • I did my buts on Friday.

    I am liking the range it is trading today. Hopefully this is the bottom (or at least a 5% range or so)

    Will buy more as items catch my eye.
    Many buy and sell transactions. Let's talk!

    I'm hesitant to purchase any PM right now.

    I just backed up the truck. Was heavy on silver, now am very heavy on silver. Let it ride! All in!

    FWIW I think it will do a stutter step up to $34ish, back down to $28ish then find strong support there and continue upward. I'm not going to risk missing a buying opportunity on this 40% drop from the all time high though.

    I'm holding on real PM's, but I might start building some Call option positions. Calls are really cheap...... limited down side risk.

  • I am ALWAYS buying but I am usually buying a little at a time because I am picky in terms of what silver art bars that I want to buy.

    DISCLAIMER: I am NOT a '70's silver art bar expert but I try my best to play one on the Internet.

    Yup, me to.
  • I've been buying a few quarter-eagles. When I get them for near melt, they're priced close to what they were when gold was $1200.

    Last week I bought an ounce for every point scored in the Wisconsin/Nebraska game last night. Who cares if it is up or down ? He who gets the least usually doesn't score a lot.

    Coming week's employment report will determine direction for $US. This will determine PM price direction. If a bad jobs report - I'm converting dollars to PMs.

    I've been buying a decent bit locally - this weekend was very good for me. Got a couple rolls of '64 halves for 20x face (mostly unc) and just bought a 'collection' where I basically paid 18.5x face for the silver and the rest was free.

    At 34x face people were killing each other to pay, now there arent many audible buyers around and the deals seem pretty decent!
  • I shot my wad prematurely.

    I backed up the truck at $440 gold and $7 silver.

    Sorry to here you haven't made any money since then and stopped buying.

    Heck, I bought a "truckload" of silver at face in 1965 - 1967. But, that hasn't stop me from buying more or stop breathing. image

    Besides, this is in regard to current events, not ancient history. Funny, all the others who replied seemed to be able to figure that out.
