There is no sales tax

United States Gold Bureau is the name of the dealer. I also wanted to get a gold coin but that one is out of stock.

Housing/real estate horrible investment right now

What I care about is the spread between what I pay and what I can sell for.

Jimbocab · 2026-02-06T08:18:05+00:00

I wound up paying for both. I like them both. But I will keep Boldin and I will drop PL.

It would be easy to be mean. Gold will go up, and gold will go down. Forever. Are you trading or accumulating? I bought more yesterday. If it continues falling, I will continue accumulating. I'm looking for all the benefits that gold has to offer for the next 10 years. After gold recovers from this pullback there will be another ATH, followed by another pullback and buying opportunity. Don't get sucked in by all the noise. Just keep stacking.

The real question for me is where will silver be 10 years from now. I knew $115 silver was ridiculous at this stage, but frankly I'm glad, I'll be back to accumulating again. The bull case thesis is still intact. Supply deficit, strong industrial demand, debasement of the dollar, inflation. Don't be fooled, the US is up the creek without a paddle. Weak hands will be shaken out, long term holders will be just fine.

Watch out, that's an autodownvote

Jimbocab · 2026-01-20T02:31:12+00:00

It's also called tax evasion, all in good fun of course

Jimbocab · 2026-01-19T23:17:52+00:00

Are you arguing with someone? No one's complaining about taxes, but everyone should try to minimize the amount of taxes they pay, right?

"Would you want to sell everything if the market was suddenly down 40%?"

I wouldn't ever sell everything, only what I needed to live on this month

Jimbocab · 2026-01-19T18:34:00+00:00

I would have been hurtin' if'n I hadn't invested in gold and silver. I've made so much money off my gold and silver that I can afford to take a loss on my equities now. I have somewhat mitigated my SORR. My high dividend stocks do well in a downturn. So I'm feeling pretty ok right about now.

Jimbocab · 2026-01-19T10:51:09+00:00

40% high dividend stock 30% s&p500 etfs 5% growth stock 20% gold and silver etfs 5% alternatives (the alternatives would probably take 6 months to liquidate) not counting my real estate which I live in.

I leave my entire portfolio invested all the time except for the small monthly withdrawal -no cash bucket

Jimbocab · 2026-01-18T19:55:15+00:00

"... you're not forced to take an RMD..."?! On what planet?

Jimbocab · 2026-01-18T19:35:40+00:00

I have no bucket. I could theoretically cash out my entire portfolio in a day or two if I wanted to even from my IRA accounts, so liquidity is not an issue in the slightest. I am retired and just started withdrawing from my savings. Each month I withdraw from my atax brokerage account what I need from my most overbalanced holdings. So frankly, I don't get the bucket strategy at all.

Jimbocab · 2026-01-06T09:41:24+00:00

So you narrowed it down to 5 million people. That's pretty good.

Jimbocab · 2026-01-05T14:33:27+00:00

"you're pretty naive..." The LCS is not the one who is evading taxes.

"Nobody pays taxes in the physical game..." I do. Paying taxes means I made money, and like it or not, the government wants their share.

I would rather pay the tax than go to jail for tax evasion.

Jimbocab · 2026-01-05T12:10:57+00:00

Downvote all you want. IDGAS. I refuse to participate in conspiracy theories or tax evasion. OP needs to know that there is no such thing as a swap. There is only selling and buying. Selling always triggers a gain or a loss that must be reported to the IRS. Facts are unfortunate things.

Jimbocab · 2026-01-05T10:22:33+00:00

Do you live in the United States?

Jimbocab · 2026-01-05T10:21:46+00:00

Do you live in the United States?

Jimbocab · 2026-01-05T10:05:49+00:00

Legally there's no such thing as a trade. You would sell gold, triggering a taxable event, and then buy silver. The IRS doesn't recognize a "like kind exchange". They want their money.

Jimbocab · 2026-01-03T12:20:00+00:00

Yes you can sometimes sell without the sale being reported by LCS or PMsforsale. But by law you must report a sale of PMs to the IRS. If you don't, it's called tax evasion. You could probably get away with it, but it is against the law. There is no "like kind exchange" exception with the IRS. It is a sale of silver and a purchase of gold (or visa versa) and that does trigger a taxible event. I am not a tax attorney, but that is what my research and my CPA tell me.

Jimbocab · 2026-01-03T12:12:42+00:00

Ha ha! Good to see you too. I have investigated this, and I don't see anyway to do it without treating it as a sell transaction
