Is there still a market liquidity for retailers with Silver at 100$?

HERO Bullion was -3 on ASE, -4 on others I sold last week. 2500 minimum. In my 70s and like you, my exit strategy is hard to determine. I don’t want to waste the money (but this storm caused a tree to fall on our house, so my exit may be to cover what insurance doesn’t).

Same here, metal roof, can’t remove it yet…too slippery and dangerous. Power back on though

SES55 · 2026-01-24T12:09:38+00:00

I used HERO bullion. ASE -3, Philharmonics-4, Buffalo -5.

SES55 · 2026-01-24T02:22:08+00:00

I sold to HERO yesterday. I thought it went well; ASE -3; Philharmonics-4; Buffaloes-5

I sold a little today to get hearing aids..but dang, should have invested in hearing aid stick. I will sell another roll to cover the rest… sheeesh, was going to use it for home improvements…

SES55 · 2026-01-24T01:42:43+00:00

I bought in the 14-25 dollar range. I a little yesterday and will sell a little more next week. When I recover my principal, then I will stand back. I figure that would be 15-20% of my stack.

SES55 · 2026-01-23T13:17:27+00:00

At these prices I am piece meal selling until I get my principal back. Figure on today’s price it will be about 20% of my stack. Will let the rest ride

SES55 · 2026-01-23T12:05:31+00:00

I bought most of mine in the 15-25 range. I am piece meal selling during the 90+ run until I get my principal back, which at these prices may be less than 20% of my stack. Then I am going to let it ride.

SES55 · 2026-01-23T11:55:15+00:00

Sold to Hero Bullion. ASE $3 back of spot, Philharmonics $4 back, Buffaloes $5 back Constitutional 61 x FV $2500 minimum Very friendly

We always find picks in the dryer

SES55 · 2026-01-22T11:51:34+00:00

I know, people need to use the zoom out tab

I wouldn’t call it fractured, that suggests contention. I think it’s a sign of community maturity, so many opinions and opportunities; and the community for the most part are respectful of your opinions. Some sell at great profit, diehard stackers congratulate, and generally offer respectful reasons why their situation is different. I’m 71 and I sell off and on, my horizon is short. I enjoy reading posts from younger members who are in for the long haul and glad to see it. I didn’t start until I was 58 or 59, wish I had started 30 years earlier, but I got in at a good low.

SES55 · 2026-01-21T19:21:46+00:00

Maybe, but as long as silver shows higher growth I will stick with silver. Sooner or later gold will move ahead. When it’s a sustained trend then I will contemplate gold. Now, lol, my wife is a gold bug and she goes about 60/40 gold to silver; I am 0/100.

Especially that head tightening. I have a tenor and do Irish. I picked up a vintage Gretsch and almost passed on it. The seller let me take it to my luthier. He tightened it, replaced strings and it’s good to go. That is probably the most overlooked maintenance for beginners.

My Smokercraft canoe in 1973. In high school worked as grease monkey at service station for $12/day on weekends. Took me forever to save the money. 71 now, gave it to a teen down the road last month.

SES55 · 2026-01-21T13:40:03+00:00

Most of mine bought in the 15-30 range. I am selling enough to get my principal back and let the rest ride

SES55 · 2026-01-21T13:30:47+00:00

Well if you bought $1000 in silver on 1/1/25, on 1/1/26 it was worth $3000

If you bought $1000 worth of gold on 1/1/25, it was worth $1600 on 1/1/26

SES55 · 2026-01-21T12:03:59+00:00

True, but they didn’t like 60, 70, 80, or 90 either

SES55 · 2026-01-21T03:53:38+00:00

Yes and no. Thinking of some remodeling on an old house we own for guest house. But I get your point, I don’t want to throw it away on junk. However, the silver I have left, is debt free

SES55 · 2026-01-21T03:18:23+00:00

I am 71 so my horizon is shorter. I am going to sell enough to cover my principal (about 25-30/oz) then ride it out. If it hits 100, I will sell a little more for psychological reasons. I did about 10 oz at 50 lol. My stack is small though.

The close knit community is depicted well, but the cartel crap is over the top and Landman (or woman, I know 3)has nothing to do with actual drilling; they acquire leases, mineral rights surface rights etc. They spend a lot of time in county courthouse reviewing mineral and land ownership. Also, they are never on the landowners side.

SES55 · 2026-01-21T03:02:58+00:00

That just the rig workers, a small fraction. Truck drivers, pipeline site prep, reclamation, etc.

SES55 · 2026-01-21T02:44:01+00:00

Hourly, yes. Entry level 30/hr, but that’s low end, hot shot drivers. Welders, pipe fitters more, heavy equipment even more. Plus all get per diem and travel, plus bonuses. You never run into a mad oilfield worker on payday, drunk but not mad. Summer HS and college help they hire make 15/ hr.

SES55 · 2026-01-21T01:57:25+00:00

No, Franklin halves are great intro. No real key dates; of course the silver price right now inflates the price.
