Did I say 4000? It’s 4050 as of 3:00PM EST

Cool. Keep us posted!
I have 1oz silver coins.

I had to buy a bunch of miners for Dad’s stock newsletter that he likes. They’ve been going gangbusters along with the rest of the market. What is this "had to"? Did someone hold a gun to your head? You’re of Chinese extraction. Are you not familiar with the concept of filial piety? O0 He...

I’m done with PHYS, Sprott and all that crap. No more paper gold for me.

I am really happy for technovelist this week, God bless him

4000

Oh, I like that you used vig.
For non-natives of English, see definition 4. It comes up once in a while in mobster & mafia movies, and is most often used in the context of gambling.

With the huge jump in Gold, I was thinking of switching a little into Silver Any ETF recommendations? General thoughts? What is the rationale? I think Ad O used to pay attention to the silver:gold ratio. Silver has moved up along with gold. Or is it because you expect silver to behave like a hyperc...

(For Mountaineer: if a miner is not a junior, is that a paradox? Does it become a senior?)

Mukramesh, I should add that Apmex doesn’t have the best spreads. At least, my experience is that the live spot price they display always looks higher than what I see at AJPM within the same sixty seconds. (I haven’t sold to them yet, only bought). I started with AJPM because they were recommended o...

Whats to stop them from saying you mailed yellow tungsten. And for that matter why wouldnt you Nothing, except that they would go out of business, shortly. That’s why you pick a vendor with a good reputation. So they don’t mail *you* yellow tungsten. I used to test everything I received with a coin...

I would sell back to Apmex or AJPM, because that’s mostly where I bought the coins from in the first place. Since they insure, it seems pretty stress free. The post office is also closer than the local dealer I used to go to, and I’m sure he has passed on by now, as it’s been so many years. If it’s ...

Nice!

There was a fatal stabbing of two in Manchester today, in a Jewish synagogue on the holiest day of the year, Yom Kippur.
However, unlike the UK blogger who was arrested a few days ago, the stabber didn’t post any anti-Hamas tweets. Thankful for the little things.

I just think it’s funny how nasty bogleheads can be to each other in spite of the almost draconian moderation. See how sweet we are to each other with our easy, lax attitude? Take dockinGA & mathjak, for example. Few people know that they’re actually feeding pigeons from the same park bench whil...

I wish I could be as mellow as Tyler in (bh) threads like the current one on the Golden Ratio portfolio proposed by Frank Vasquez. I tend to agree with a poster named 'breakfastinbed' who said, imagine rejecting a portfolio because of its name. Yeah, I can see someone casually pointing out that ther...

Seems like just yesterday that I gave my nieces some silver coins and they were worth only a little north of $20 spot.
I guess it has been a few years.

I saw something about a 14-year high. Is this true?

Something tells me you’re going to get your chance, Bird.

please do not decapitate me )

^ What happened to this guy? ^

over $3800/oz spot. Over $3815 in fact.

I made it to about 70 oz, not bad. Plus some numismatic gold that I bought from my father.
