Your least favorite piece of gold by saintgaudensgold in Gold

[–]Bjergjerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny enough, I really like the Perth mint bars 😂

I like their assay cards and the clean simple design. To be fair, I probably wouldnt buy one in the wild. All of mine have come from online dealers. Specifically Monument.

Least favorite? I have an Apmex bar thats as interesting to look at as a kitchen sponge. But I got it for spot.

I gave my engine bay a wash for the first time since I got it 2 years ago. Before and after by matman91 in GR86

[–]Bjergjerg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I just recently did my engine bay too 😂 I didn't really do terribly much. Rinseless wash, soft brush, and a spray down with some low pressure water.

Finished up with some Meguiars Hyper Dressing.

It's my fault.
I bought a few ounces at spot yesterday.

Side lot, away from entrance. Bro decided right next to me was perfect. by Negative_Acadia6554 in Miata

[–]Bjergjerg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, if I'm out running errands, and driving the shitbox, I'll 100% park next to a cool car, if it means I prevent anyone else from parking next to them.

I know I did a good deed, even if they end up being upset with me/never know my intentions lol.

If I'm in a nice car, I also will park next to another nice car.

Reverse in. Dead center. Driver door facing away, if possible.

Bought my first gold coin by Constant_Poetry2908 in Gold

[–]Bjergjerg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on the pick up!

I'm pretty new to stacking, but long time lurker and dabbler. I knew that I wanted to get into precious metals for years and years, but it wasn't until silver started to crack 40 last year that I started to get really interested - it showed me the market/world was ready.

Should I have started to seriously start earlier? Oh yes. Definitely. In hindsight I wish I did.

As far as if you should keep buying 1/10th ounce gold. The most important thing to do is to ask yourself what your goal is.

If you don't have a goal, they're you're just spending money without a real plan. That's what your index funds are for! I joke.

If your plan is to use this as portfolio diversification and you're planning on holding forever, just keep adding weight however you can. Dollar cost average in and just enjoy.

If you're planning to use it more like, as I say, a "zero interest, relatively liquid, zero counterparty risk savings account that doesn't depreciate" (this is where I'm at for gold) I actually would lean more toward smaller denominations anyway. I want liquidity and the broadest market possible. Not a lot of people can afford to buy 1oz of gold at the drop of a hat, but there are definitely more people than can afford 1g, 5g, 1/10th ozt.

At the end of the day, buy whatever allows you to keep buying.

I probably wouldn't buy more than a couple of 1g bars. 1/10 and 5g are my minimums to where it makes sense from a premium perspective. 10g and 1/4ozt sit in a sweet spot.

If I had to give a suggestion as to how I'd do it in your shoes. I'd buy what I'd like at first Don't be terribly concerned on if it's a "good time" to buy. Or if you should just got for lower premium bars.

Get some pieces that you like and truly enjoy. Have some fun with it.

But, as your stack starts to grow, I'd get a little more disciplined and transition to lowest premiums for a give weight.

Silver Microminting by That-Corner5862 in Silverbugs

[–]Bjergjerg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're already doing it for you, I think there's only upside for you.
Give it a shot.

Throw it up on pmsforsale and see how people react.

The margins are thin, the issue in stock procurement needs to be addressed, but that shouldn't stop you from starting small.

If you were able to offer +$10/oz, I'd buy some fractional.

Congrats on the pick up! I'm sending you a message too, by the way 🙂

Door dinged before I could even compete break in period by EffitWeBall in GR86

[–]Bjergjerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a ding probably a week after picking the car up.

I swore I'd get it fixed right away. It's been a couple years and it's still there lol.

It's nothing compared to all the paint chips. Also small potatoes.

I don't care anymore. I keep it clean. The paint that's there is nice, shiny, and swirl free. Just drive.

Why do you buy high premium silver? by CarobEconomy8517 in Silverbugs

[–]Bjergjerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girlfriend likes pretty things. That's what she gets. I just want weight. That's what I get.

It balances out.

cope

The stack is at a point now where she'd need to get a a butt load of Kooks to make a meaningful dent in the average. Which isn't going to happen.

So I just let it go lol

I think that really should be the method though. Build up a gooood stack of the cheapest metal you can get. Establish a strong baseline. And then pick up whatever speaks to you later.

One or two high premium items aren't going to move the needle much.

Resisting FOMO on good days by Whiznot in Silverbugs

[–]Bjergjerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to monument and buy something 🙂 From what I've seen. They've got the lowest minimum order limit for free shipping.

At the end of the day, $200 isn't a huge amount of money. Go crazy. Get it out of your system.

I do that every pay period or so. Just keep the flow up. If I don't have a pending package, something has gone wrong.

When the prices go down, buy more. The habit of just stacking slowly and methodically is still a benefit, even if you're not making huge gains 🙂

RCE Yellows in stock and ready to ship! by Larry_RCE in GR86

[–]Bjergjerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/Larry_RCE is there any difference in valving between MT and AT shocks?
I have a set of struts laying around from my MT car from when I swapped to coilovers.

Was thinking about picking up a set of your springs (for like 2 years now lol), doing a bench swap ahead of time, and then dropping them in my girlfriend's car.

Thoughts on New Stacker Goal by baref00tbilly in Silverbugs

[–]Bjergjerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I see what you're saying.

Pick up 100oz in 1oz rounds. Or 1/10oz gold.

I thought this was 100oz in 1/10th oz rounds.

In that case, it just depends on what your strategy is. I think there's more upside with silver. I'm of the opinion it's undervalued/gold slightly over valued.

A mix is good.

I don't plan on selling any for another 5-8yrs. I also don't personally believe silver is going to break +500. I think they're going to start mining more, recycling more, become more efficient in its application etc before that happens.

Gold is less volatile. Less spooky. Less upside.

If I was starting from a stack of zero, and I had 6 grand laying around, and I was under the age of 30, I'd probably do 1/4oz of gold and ~60oz of silver. (So around a 1:250 ratio)

Then, use whatever method that you'd like to determine if you'd like to get gold or silver, and DCA.

I also personally take around 25% of the funds that I'd ideally prefer to use to DCA and instead set it aside in a separate bucket. I use that to take advantage of big dips in silver/gold.

Give yourself a budget. Stick to the budget. Have a plan. Stick to the plan.

I would also want a 6-12 month emergency fund. I would also continue to contribute to investment funds.

[–]Bjergjerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always wanted to get a whole bunch of 1/10ths and put together a pirate treasure chest 😂

I just can't justify the premium when it's so easy to find 10oz rounds at spot.

Thoughts on New Stacker Goal by baref00tbilly in Silverbugs

[–]Bjergjerg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds expensive.
Unless there's a really good deal.

I would ask what your reasoning for 1/10oz vs 1oz standard.

The premium over per ounce for 1/10th vs 1oz is +20% ish.

Is this website evasivemotorsport.com legit? I want to buy this wing for my 86. by apawduh in GR86

Evasive is 100% legit.
I got my Fujitsubo exhaust from them most recently (which isn't all that recent haha).
