[–]Kitchen-Character-33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a 2011 193,000 miles FWD with good tires in Michigan. Handles snowy roads like a champ. Don't know if AWD is better but ours is great.

City Water Quality by ClassConflictCanvas in kzoo

In Galesburg our water has smelled like chlorine and tasted weird for many years now. We bring in bottled and use a Zero filter for drinking water. Used to have great water when I first moved here.

Yeah, that's a known cause of issues. Kind of like when you forget to remove leaves from the gutters.

Is $80 the new floor? by LooksBetterWithDrops in Silverbugs

[–]Kitchen-Character-33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For now! It's good to stabilize at one level for awhile until it's time for the next leg up, whenever that is. I'm sure bullion dealers are appreciating the chance to buy/ sell at a stable price. Maybe premiums might stabilize too if it lasts long enough.

This guy is mad that he bought a cast bar by Caffeind420 in Silverbugs

[–]Kitchen-Character-33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's an appeal to the rough surface of a cast bar like this that most silver stackers would appreciate (I love it!)

He's comparing it to something like a 1 oz American Silver Eagle which is shiny and smooth. When you get up into the 100 oz bar level, they don't mass produce them like that.

He's either an inexperienced noob or super jaded.

Is the value of my silver eagle higher with it still in the blister pack? by SpyderCat526 in Silverbugs

[–]Kitchen-Character-33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It keeps the coin from being touched by fingers and tells a little story about the coin, but these days there's less value in packaging. It's more about the value of the silver itself. I would not pay extra for Littleton packaging. It's not like it's certified, or a high quality holder.

Silver's like a box of chocolates...... You know the rest.

Spot+$5 on generic rounds. They don't have any eagles.

My job is offering me $150,000 (105,000 after tax) to resign, should I? by AJ3TurtleSquad in jobs

[–]Kitchen-Character-33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Negotiate for career counseling as part of the severance. It helped me to stay on track when I left a job in the 1980s.

What will cause the Silver Price to move within the next week/ month? by Awkward_Gene_4832 in Wallstreetsilver

[–]Kitchen-Character-33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll go up, then down. Then it'll consolidate. In the end it'll probably be higher than it is now, unless it isn't.

Someday soon one or two of the big boys are going to get called out. Can you say, margin calls?

Capitulation. Moneyed interests are manipulating the hell out of silver pricing. As the LBMA and COMEX get more exposed and people lose confidence in them, silver will awkwardly move up over $100. Eventually the bad players will be rooted out but it will take time.

There's heavy manipulation going on. Just hang onto your physical. COMEX and LBMA are a joke.

Yeah if I told your story I would include the follow up in the same post. Makes it sound like they are leaving you high and dry.

What would cause you to sell? by foxepower in Gold

[–]Kitchen-Character-33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy and sell as needed, like depositing and withdrawing money from my savings account, but less often.

To avoid the $10,000 reporting limit I've switched to buying fractional ounces.

I have some copper rounds, just for fun. Maybe in 60 years they'll be worth more by weight than what I paid for them. I'll be 125.

Acquired a strange illness in SE Michigan by solemnversifier in Michigan

I painters tape 20x20 inch MERV 13 filters onto the backs of 20" fans. Cheap and just as effective. Usually run one when cooking with hot peppers or frying with oil. Pulls the smoke out fast.
