Re: The GOLD scream room
But again, if I were still holding IAU or PHYS, I'm sure I'd be hitting those rebalancing bands. Are you sure? Everything has been going up, so I am way far away from any rebalance bands for bonds, stocks and gold, except for silver. Here's my allocations vs. limits https://i.imgur.com/osOEe5c.jpeg

Wow, their website is gone as well.

Re: The GOLD scream room
Silver is close to hitting the 140% band for me. Gold is not close. I will rebalance if silver hits. Not early.

Re: Some of the big tech companies are the enemy of the people
I skipped around the video. I don't disagree with any of the bits I heard, but again, dammit, this is crazy that the virus is so politically charged. That a group of doctors with embroidered lab coats and such need to come out and talk about everything that isn't talked about. Aargh. I'm glad Trump ...

Re: Suggestions for how Trump could do better
To me, there are two major outcomes to be considered: 1) Coronavirus - outcomes to be avoided are hospitalization and death. The group at high risk for this are a very small segment of the population. The working population has a very LOW risk of such outcomes. 2) Trashed economy - negative outcome...

Re: Right wing group think
It would seem the majority of people who believe in gold being a significant part of their portfolio are definitely fiscal conservatives. I am one for sure. It seems many people who find gold attractive are also politically conservative, or am I going too far there? And I feel like on this forum I a...

Very little unless it is some unexpected event like a stroke. But I assume they both have access to the best care available and any risks are well known.

Re: A good reason for wearing a mask
So then what are the options? If 95% wore masks, and rates did not decrease, the powers that be are caught in a bad spot, no? What do they do if that happened? You guys aren’t washing hands enough? What is the next reason that would be used? If anything, regardless of whether masks even make it wors...

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion
It's so strangely enticing, and depressing to focus on the negative. But here's my reality: --Band camp has started for my younger daughter. --School will be in person as an option, which she will be doing. --Notre Dame will be in person starting Aug 10. --I can go into any store or restaurant and g...

A good reason for wearing a mask
Since most anti-maskers are typically worried about government control, worried about the nanny and surveillance state, I thought of a good reason to wear a mask. ---I assume there's no current facial recognition system that can deal with mask wearing. Wear a mask and at least you can't be tracked b...

Maddy, I don't disagree with any of that. My only response is what could we have done differently? If there's one president who could have had the balls to do something like Sweden, it would have been Trump, right? And he didn't. Any democrat would have rolled over to the "science." So we ...

Am I being spied on while I surf the internet and walk around? Sure. And tell me how that affects my freedoms. I can always pull the plug. And my life is pretty boring.

Re: Some 2020 General Election Polls
What Trump supporters are missing, maybe, is there is an increase in people like me (moderate/left leaning) that supported Trump because we didn't want Hilary, but are much more ok with Biden this time around. A good portion of this is not logical. I am smart enough to realize that about myself. You...

Re: What's going on with silver?
And $21??!!
I am positive on my physical silver cost for the first time in I think 9 years.
This continues to be surreal. Covid out there, but the PP and markets just seem to make daily highs. My pp is up 12.2% for the year (was -10.75% on March 19)
