Re: Those of you who track silver

Silver is fighting to break through $30 (and $32.5 and then maybe $35). Some analysts are calling for silver to hit $50 by the end of the year or in 2025. There is a structural deficit going on 4 years now (industrial demand for solar panels and EV batteries growing nearly exponentially exceeding mi...

Some coins have 1/25 oz versions.
If you want fractional units that small, I'd prefer Goldbacks to coins/rounds.

If I were to sell (a valuable lot) to a dealer, I would do what they do when they sell - record video of the metal getting packaged (and sealed) for shipment and ship insured.

Re: Good experience selling to JM Bullion

I don't sell often, but when I do, I have always sold to a local coin shop. I've been hesitant to try selling via the mail with a dealer. It's nice to hear that some folks have had positive experiences with it.

Re: What's going on with silver?

UBS strategists have lifted their silver price forecasts, expecting that the white metal will outperform gold in the near term. Now, the Swiss investment bank projects a 2024 year-end price target of $36 for silver and an average of $30.5, up 20% and 14%, respectively, compared to its previous fore...

Re: The Headache at the End of the Costco Gold Rush

How would you rate the average Costco shopper's knowledge regarding this? I'd say you are far more advanced than the average one of them. Hard to say. If folks are savvy enough to snap up $400+ tubes of silver or $2000+ gold bars when they see them, I'd assume they might know something about gold o...

Re: The Headache at the End of the Costco Gold Rush

Those articles are silly IMO. Any area big enough to support a Costco warehouse surely has a coin shop or two in the vicinity. It's trivially easy to sell bullion at a coin shop in person or to a national dealer via the mail. It's a bit more work, but it's also not difficult to sell P2P via craigsli...

Iran/Israel getting hot. China/SGE gold closed Friday at $2,434.73 - a $90 premium to the US close. Seems to me that gold is sitting on plenty of rocket fuel.
