    I see buying opportunity at $16 silver and $1250 gold

    Until then I'm going to turn the blind eye and pretend nothing bothers me

    I hope the market gives me low to mid 1200s before my ebay bucks expire. I'll let the market tell me the price though.

    Won't be long for the gold if it keeps falling like today.

    Sure why not. Many people have been holding silver at this price for the last 10 years. What's another 10?

    What?! You mean these same people did not sell in 2011 when we saw $50 SLV and $1900+ GLD?

    I would not want to call any bluff's with these people.

    A few sold, but many, many more bought. And they bought more at 35, and much more again at 25.

    My holdings aren't really affected by a 6% one day drop in Spot. I own collectable bars that may dip a bit on this, but certainly not 6% in one day like Spot/Generics are.

    And all this really means is the spreads just got further apart, that's all. Relatively not long ago 10 oz generics were going for $175 when Spot was $11-12/oz.

    I was one of those same dumb people that held for 10 years bought in 2001 and 2002 sold though the years of 2010, 11 and 12 only 10x my money so i agree what is 10 more years.

    Silver was in the high 30s or low 40s when the first pucks came out.

    Assumption here, Tendencies I'm seeing with those who hold physical metal....physical possession grows on you and it appears to influence the judgement when selling opportunities come?

    I was new to stacking in 2009-2010 and silver coins never grew on me at the time. Luckily I unloaded close to the peak and never looked back. Fast forward 2015 I started stacking again but this time with more gold. Down Days like today I can stay patient and will continue to do so because now I'm looking at this like a hobby with shiny yellow.

    Moral of the story...
    It grew on me and I'm less likely to unload any of it. I know years from now I'll make profit on it if and when I'm ready.

    Of course Turning the blind eye to daily markets is easier said than done.
    As I type it looks like the Asia markets are giving a little boost to the green %.

    Generally agree with you. APMEX prices are on the high side but once in awhile they have special sales where you can get a good deal.

    Good one! Consider me guilty. I've bought from lots of places, and one thing seems to recur especially when the metals markets are having a tough time.

    I've dodged the bullet with Tulving, Northwest Territorial Mint and also with that basket case called Silver Shield. In each case, there were some warning signs. If the prices are too too good, you are dealing with a shoestring operation. If deliveries take too long, run Forest, run.

    I do try to pay attention and buy from companies that I think will be in business at least as long as it takes for them to ship my order. Apmex will stay in business because they aren't cutting a lot of corners. It only takes one good screwing to justify paying a bit more to a legit company.

    From time to time some dealers (such as apmex) have sales at or close to melt. I was fortunate enough to take advantage of a couple 10% ebucks rebates and they added up, and great timing again with metals currently on "sale."

    I'm wondering how long we splunge.

    Will it be in the $1100s soon? That nasty, unnecessary upcoming rate hike it damaging the price potential.

    Plus, I've got ebay bucks to spends and it was going to go into 2 ounces of gold. Will I lose $200 in 2 weeks if I buy now? Me not being psychic, I'm a bit scared to get in and the down trend is still in place.


    The good news is that there does seem to be support at the $1200
    and a few dollars +/- area

    My hope is that the metals keep sliding down. Gold around 800 and siliver at 10 sounds awfully good to me.... not sure it will get that good, but i will try to keep adding a bit as the slide keeps.
