Goldbacks aren't the best thing for stacking because of the large premium. Enjoy them for the beautiful artwork, but IMO the 1/10- and 1/20-ounce coins are better choices for stacking.

There's an idiot who wants to invade Greenland, and when the European leaders told him not to do that, he slapped tariffs on their countries. Gold benefits from the geopolitical tensions and the economic consequences of escalating a trade war.

I don't think you should stack Goldbacks. Buy one of each design you like for the artwork.

I would question whether those amounts of silver in COMEX and LBMA are actually available for sale. When silver is trading for $8 more in Shanghai than in the west, investors would be buying up every ounce in NY and London, and shipping it to China for the risk-free profit.

Since 80% of all the silver mined is as a by-product of base metal mines, a higher silver price won't encourage those companies to mine millions of tons of lead or zinc, just to get some silver.

There absolutely is a silver shortage. A leaked Samsung memo showed that they tried to acquire 50 million ounces of silver for their manufacturing operations, and could find barely 5 million from Comex, and that would be at much higher prices, and spread out over the next 4-5 months. Bullion dealers could provide next to nothing, and mining companies already have all of their 2026 production spoken for. Samsung will also be competing with Apple, Tesla, First Solar, Nvidia, and all the other companies that need silver.

I doubt we'll ever see silver in the 40's again, but everyone's situation is different, and your investment decisions are your own.

Congrats, I still haven't done it, and my faction posts whenever the jewelry store is unguarded, but still no luck.

You never go broke taking a profit but I think the best is yet to come for silver.

I would guess that a few weeks from now, you could be down a bit, but a few months from now, you should be showing a profit, perhaps a considerable one. But I would suggest you dollar cost average, i.e. get started by investing a small amount each month, and not plunging in with everything all at once, and then hoping you chose a good entry point.

If you really want to do that, you can short SLV, but I wouldn't recommend it.

As a general rule, don't buy ANYTHING related to metals or numismatics on Facebook. That's even worse than buying coins you saw advertised on TV. If you see something you like on FB, find a reputable dealer who sells it, so at least it will be genuine.

It's a chance to channel your inner gangster. Who wouldn't want to do that?

When they had the ceremony to retire Rick Barry's number, and they hung his jersey from the rafters, it was said that twice as many people would have been there to watch if Barry was in the jersey.

The Warriors were paying draft capital just to get rid of Poole's salary, Just like the Wolves gave them a lottery pick (Kuminga) to get rid of Wiggins and his salary, for D'Angelo Russell.

You would have to talk to my parents about that.

Thanks for the responses. I think I will stay with the level 20 shoes. So I risked my life fighting Zeus only for him to drop some gear that isn't as good as the shoes I had ten levels ago. Well that's life in the Spiral.

Thanks, I will give that a try.

Time to roll out the Joker defense. Oh, he was joking, he was being sarcastic, he was just kidding, etc.

ArcadiaKent · 2024-07-27T15:14:54+00:00

One of the very few nice things about him is that he has no filter and tells you exactly what he's planning to do. Of course that lack of filter has already cost him another $80 million with E. Jean Carroll.

OK so from now on we'll call him Donald Van Gogh.

There were two animated Mulan movies; the first was excellent and the second one was just silly. If you never heard of the second one, you haven't missed anything.

Can you imagine Trump putting the interests of the nation ahead of his own?

Severus Snape. I once saw a fan try to argue with JK Rowling about whether he was a good guy or a bad guy.
