The post count here has died.
Gold appears to be at a double bottom, if it holds then a rally will happen.

Sell in May and Go away... old PM adage
Nothing has changed.
Inflation still here
Weak dollar
Economic unknowns
Do not get shook out... add to the stack here...
Everyone with a truck gassing it up and those without looking at rentals
COPPER is gutter !
Except the second low is lower than the first one.

Money chasing money by many who don’t know money. Numismatists understand this paradox, completely.

I believe it is just normal correction and we are very close to the end of it.
I think it is time to add more. I was trying to buy some silver bullion coins two days ago on SB bullion auction but can't get any because the lowest price is more than $10 over spot plus shipping.
Sales over past two months in store have been dead, the past week, been getting a few buyers asking again, problem is not coming in now like it was, then I had so much coming in couldnt ship it out fast enough. People told me you could have held some, I said yeah, buy it at 85, and sell for 70 "thats good business sense"
I know this is anecdotal but I'm killing it on jewelry and numismatics. I was starting to sweat a little bit there when spot went up and watched my premiums evaporate.
But I know better now. I'm harvesting premiums and not getting caught up in that again.
Realistically I've been stacking since I was six years old. The economic conditions I've stacked for continue to get worse.
I don't see myself exiting any time soon. If jewelry keeps doing what it is doing for me then I'm back into buying mode. Irregular weather patterns have given me off-season work and I'm ready to hit the gas.
@Azurescens Where are you selling your jewelry? I've got a good source to by sterling at melt but have found even melt prices are high enough to slow down sales.
Reselling ebay to ebay. The number of estate sellers, goodwill etc who misjudge designer jewelry or can't read hallmarks is staggering. Just gotta know what to search for. The image search helps because sometimes they're just generic titles that would never come up under Tiffany or whatever, like "925 sterling necklace".
I also saved searches with typos so I scoop up all the 14jt gold and Tifanny etc. One designer brand that used to be a multi-level marketing scheme is a hot market but people still sell it like it is trash jewelry. Paid 60 for the last one, got 250.
I got really good at repairing fishing reels so I buy them by the box at yard sales for a couple bucks each then use the money from them for this stuff. It has been a wild ride.
Maybe I should try ebay on some of this scrap Jewlery, lady came in today, showing some pieces that were designer yurman what ever, i said we scrap it, she was floored, but she said let it ride, no body else is even buying it and the pawn shops offered her 40% of silver value.
The gutter sure aint selling well. Stick with the real deal. RGDS!

You really should just list them. There are a lot of Yurman fakes so your trusted eBay account / business will carry you a long way. I'm doing well on lower mid range names.. Yurman would be easy money. Stop scrapping it. Scrap the unbranded stuff.
I keep using Tiffany as an example but I don't mess with it because the fakes have gotten very good and I'm just not into it. I'll resell anything but I feel like it's playing with fire and I don't care enough to get all niche about it. Especially considering what a negative for a fake would cost me long term.
If you're not sure just list it at auction for what you would sell it to a refiner for and see what happens. Easier way to learn current value than spending time on niche jewelry forums and following influencers etc. The market will speak for itself and the numbers will tell you what you need to know.
I have cheap lower end stuff that should realistically be scrapped but it fills up my shop and brings keywords/traffic.
The fundamentals remain, the buyers are currently at Walmart.

Never forget that herd mentality can go either way.

FWIW, gold dipped just below $4,000 yesterday.
Déjà vu... 2010 -2011. History once again, repeating ? I for one, unloaded all my junk or bullion silver before the market took a downward trend.
Good move.
Ole diamond hands be like but, but, but it's different this time. LoLZ. RGDS!

Anyone older then 50 has seen these silver spikes quite a few times. They always end up the same way. I sold when it hit 100 which means I got paid 94ish I think. I will consider buying again when it is in the 30s again. I can wait. That is just last year's prices. Might just take the money I got when selling and try to triple what i had in ounces.
meanwhile, the yellow stuff you bend over for in every other post and call the KING has done what? What has it done recently? Right along with silver. Everything you blabber on about is complete garbage. lolzzz
COPPER is gutter !
Both are still at historic levels. Even with the downturn they are both at impressive levels.
I’m a bull in a bear market.

truth is only one of you have been right the last 5 months......and it isnt you.
Knowledge is the enemy of fear
Six month slide…. Reminds me of the secret of life

The truth is none of it matters unless you are a fool who needs a return inside a small window. I haven't been pumping a price at all so you can stick that comment up your you know what. What I HAVE been doing is laughing at those, like your big brother, who ARE pumping a price like $18 lolzzz. .... good luck with that haha

TRUTH

I do not agree ... and that's the truth.

I thought we'd have a new all time high by the Fourth of July. I still believe new all time highs are coming soon; but, I no longer think it will happen by Saturday.
Are you ok?

I do not agree....and thats the truth.

It was pretty reasonable to figure after silver reached over $110/oz that a return trip to the breakout point at $50-$55 was in the cards. Gold chart still has a weekly $16 acceleration gap at $3450 from August 25, 2025. That concerns me as it's location and size makes it a prime target down the road. Usually PMs seem to bottom out by the July 4th weekend. The sentiment has certainly been reset to very low levels. Could be safe for a nice bounce. ???
The weak hands are gone for now. And, we have a new baseline.
I knew it would happen.
.
Well, you have never been one to exhibit original thinking.
.
I do not agree.....and thats the truth.
BTW....most others do not agree as well.
But to the OPs point. Yeah, this place has been a ghost town the last 5 months. Have we reached aparhy yet?
Knowledge is the enemy of fear
Have we reached apathy yet? It doesn't affect me, so I don't know and I don't care.
Now listen boy, I'm tryin' to teach you sumthin' . . . . that ain't an optical illusion, it only looks like an optical illusion.
My mind reader refuses to charge me. . . . . . .

You have not been appointed as a spokesperson for "most others".
Whether or not they agree is not something that you can rightfully claim to know.
.
Youre right. I should have written "all others".
I am. I do.
I caught another one.

and you wonder why nobody bothers to post here anymore...
To me looking at a chart and predicting moves in single instances is basically drinking your tea and interpreting the future looking at the left overs at the bottom.
Honestly I'm happy I can start doing little accumulations of metals again. Those massive upswings are not why I like metals as interesting as they were.
Its a great time to start stacking again. Don't ever sell into a dropping market. What is happening at places like COMEX is they have very little physical silver for delivery. The spot price gets manipulated so that central banks can buy it cheap. As the dollar starts to lose value again (and this is a gradual process) more central banks will sell treasuries and buy metals. The laws of supply and demand are there. Silver is also a metal that is used heavily in industries, electric vehicles, batteries, solar panels and industrial processes. Silver is a volatile metal, price wise. Shortages and hoarding have huge effects when the supply runs low. So buy buy buy, and hold hold hold!
