And if you're buying, what levels and prices are you buying at?

    After years of accumulating ounces to reach my goal, I'm now holding what I have and adding what appeals to me. Unfortunately the stuff that appeals to me has higher premiums.

    Holding. Cash ready to buy more once we see a bit more of a drop followed by an uptick.

    Still buying when I can find a decent deal on something that I want.

    Selling to BST buyers.

    Bought a monster box of Effigy Mounds pucks a couple months ago (since I grew up near there).

    Selling a few extras - Plats, Burnished AGEs, Gold Buffs, D.Carr gold........

    Still considering a non-serious set of $5 Modern Gold (for fun).

    Still a net buyer.

    i sold about half my stash..not for any reason other than needed to pay bills.

  • gtstanggtstang Posts: 1,750 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Seems like very little selling. I bought some silver this past weekend but just have a feeling and fear of buying much because I'm self predicting silver will hit $12/oz. range by the end of summer. I do still buy collector coins for a couple dansco's but I don't worry much about the market for those.

  • tommy44tommy44 Posts: 2,287 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Holding what I have at the moment.

    Will buy if an interesting opportunity arises and the price is right.

    I like jmski52's idea of buying modern $5s assuming he means commemoratives. They can be picked up in mint capsules occasionally for $5 to $10 over melt and be sold easily for $0 to $5 under melt if in a pinch for cash.

    It will last as long as you try to catch that falling knife. B) We've been through this several times over the last 5 years. It usually turns around when least expected. My guess, we will remain in that same, 15% - 20% up or down trading range, that's been so prevalent over the last few years.

    You are a patient man. The $1100 & 15 quote sounds reasonable, but the 1600 & 28, well, I hope your lineage has a history of longevity.

    LoL are there any impatient PM investors? Everyone knows it's 30 years between booms, while a new generation of hard money geniuses is born and grows up

    God, that's a dreary (but accurate) observation.

    Agreed...but the cycle will be a little shorter this time. The baby boomers will still have one more chance at redemption.
