Re: Mixing Gold Coin Types, or Staying Consistent?
Wait, so are they "materially cheaper" or is the difference "minuscule"? Both. If you re-read the quotes you'll see Vinny's question was basically "how often are some coins materially cheaper than others"? The correct answer is the one i gave, 365 days of the year. He ...

Re: Mixing Gold Coin Types, or Staying Consistent?
I'd buy what's on sale. Occasionally some coins are relatively cheaper compared to the normal premium over spot. How often does the above occur wherein some coins are materially cheaper than other coin options? 365 days of the year Vinny. So with gold coins it is NOT an "efficient market"...

Re: Reasons why I will not be getting injected for the Wuhan
Do you agree with the logic of his analysis or find it to be fallacious? Vinny Capture.JPGCapture2.JPG Regardless of whether or not that's true, it's probably dwarfed by the Republican advantage in birth rates. For what that's worth. Yes but now all those dead Republicans will start voting Democrat.

Re: Reasons why I will not be getting injected for the Wuhan
… Almost everyone i hear about third person that are testing positive are vaxxed. I wonder if the vax is lowering immune systems or responsible for the so-called "delta" variant. It may be that people who were pro-vax but not yet vaxxed stayed home, and after getting vaxxed but before Del...

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion
IIRC kids have a something like a 3% chance of being hospitalized after testing positive. Yes, that isn't dying, and yes, it's low, but I'd rather not have my kid in the hospital, you know?

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion
* The big one: only a small fraction of kids so far have gotten Covid, whereas all kids have been in cars. All kids WILL eventually get Covid, they'll just either do it with the vaccine or without. You don't think kids have been exposed at the same rate as 85 year olds? Where does the difference in...

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion
Don't they get that there is no end to this? I think it was shown there would be an end, when the masks pretty much went away briefly. We've got a surge right now, so they're back, but I think I Shrugged is right, and this will be the last surge before it settles down into a background endemic. Del...

I admit that I am mystified as to Maddy's reaction to me. Us girls need to stick together! I've looked at some of Maddy's historical posts, and I completely agree with her: 1. You can't trust people, especially liberals. 2. They're out to get us -- so smoke 'em out. 3. COVID is a complete fabricati...

Re: Will Someone Help Me Buy My First Gold Coin?
For physical coins i think the two most important characteristics are liquidity and bid/ask spread. A distant third is beauty (do you enjoy it). This is big advantage for physical over a digital gold facsimile or paper gold. The most liquid gold product in the US is the AGE by far. Every dealer will...

Re: Will Someone Help Me Buy My First Gold Coin?
As far as what percentage for paper vs. Physical, my gut is that paper is very risky and the counterparty risk is not worth any convenience. But.......if someone dissagrees i get it. In that case, if you strictly adhere to the PP and would rebalance out of gold if it hit 35% of your portfolio...... ...

Physical is 100% the safest way (in my opinion) to hold your metals.
Bonus is you can "lose it" in a tragic boating accident.

Yes, thus far I've bought all of my gold coins exclusively in person at local dealers. Online dealers usually offer slightly better prices, but I don't mind paying the slight premium since (1) I'm supporting a local small business, (2) I'm building a relationship with a person in my community, and ...
