Made for an exciting summer. Back to silver.....outstanding deal here:https://bullionexchanges.com/...

Re: Silver

One reason I heard for the output reduction, and this is only second hand right now, is that the mint only buys their rounds from ONE company. This company was recently acquired by a firm that also owns an authorized participant, and that firm has been redirecting some of the round manufacturers ou...

Re: Silver

I'm not sure it's illegal for the mint to make a profit on bullion. It is according to the law. Public Law 99-61 is the law that effectively started the American Eagle program, by amending a previous law. Its been amended several times over the years, but the part about the selling price of the coi...

Re: Silver

Not to be a downer, but the premiums on physical silver make it a non-starter for me as an investment. I wish you success if you decide to pull the trigger, however. You're right on the premiums. Silver Eagles were close to 100% premium a couple months back. They are still obscene, which is why I w...

Re: Silver

The premium the US mint charges the authorized dealers is outrageous. I think it's $8 or more right now and min buy is 10,000. The criteria to become an authorized dealer is also very steep. Just a couple years ago the premium to authorized dealers was close to $2 and still considered high. Obv inf...

Re: Died Suddenly

I just heard from a friend who said their 36 year old brother in good health died suddenly. I am wondering if I should talk to them about this film. It may be too painful for them and not helpful. Definitely not helpful. You could certainly ask what happened though in a sympathetic way. That is jus...

Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II

Putin is under time pressures and as such is likely to make a big push come the spring. I would think the thawing ground and snow in spring would turn the landscape into a morass. Pretty sure any heavy rainfall in the April-May timeframe results in flooding. I think they call it General Mud. I expe...

What was Russia's precipitating event on February 24, 2022 so that its last recourse was to invade another country? What had happened the day before to cause this drastic measure?
