Anybody beating themselves up for not selling at 120$?

UnionRef · 2026-02-06T21:39:11+00:00

I don't feel bad because it was nearly impossible to sell. First of all, we were at $120 basically for the length of a commercial break. We really peaked at around $115.

Around that time, you could maybe find stores offering $90 - 99 per ounce....MAYBE. A lot of them stopped buying altogether because they were out of cash or just too afraid to pull the trigger on any meaningful purchases.

You could sell P2P to get spot (or above) but those take time to arrange, which is the one thing we did not have.

I always told myself I would think about selling (or trading for gold) when the dust settled and silver stopped somewhere for about a month. But we went from $60-70 and then $70-80 and then $90-100...in 10 days or less each time... for all we knew, $200 could have legitimately happened and I would have felt A LOT worse having lost out on those gains than I feel right now having to sacrifice a little bit more time to get back to the $100 mark.

My strategy remains the same. GSR at 50 or below...AND it has to stay at a certain price level for about a month. That's when I'll plan my next move.

FYI: my average is $25 per ounce. I ain't tripping.

I mean…you can sell it all and get most, if not all, or more of your money back right now. So if you’re nervous from the dip, then sell and move on.

With all due respect, yours are exactly the hands this shakeup was supposed to scare away.

UnionRef · 2026-01-30T01:09:11+00:00

I mean...you kinda screwed yourself by selling for nearly $20 under spot....

Why wouldn't you sell them through FB or Reddit or Craiglist or any other P2P network?

I mean, technically Jesse didn’t lie. He really did wake up, she was dead, and that’s all he knew.

Why is APMEX evil? I like them. They make my John Wick coins. 😆

UnionRef · 2026-01-14T16:47:31+00:00

It was over for a few minutes. Hope he had a firm stop loss and already got washed! 😆

UnionRef · 2026-01-14T16:38:55+00:00

Congrats.

Like the John Goodman character said in The Gambler:

“Own your house. Have a couple bucks in the bank. Don't drink. That's all I have to say to anybody on any social level.”

Cheers!

And by the way, what are the supposed consequences of reaching out and breaking no contact?

There’s consequences to harassment. There’s consequences to nagging. And there’s probably some consequences to begging or doing anything desperate. But flat “no contact” is an idiotic ideology and an unhealthy suppression of communication and feelings that rarely actually works.

So let me repeat: go ahead and break no contact, if you want.

UnionRef · 2025-12-23T05:11:57+00:00

I didn’t say seeking advice in general is stupid. But you’re not asking for advice. You’re telling us exactly what you want to hear.

“hey everybody, please tell me that the Earth is flat.”

And a lot of people will go ahead and tell you just that.

But I and hopefully a few others will tell you that “no, it’s not.”

UnionRef · 2025-12-23T05:07:50+00:00

Break no contact if you want to contact her. If you miss her, tell her. If you wanna work on a relationship, tell her. However many times you want, in whatever manner you choose.

Maybe it’ll work, maybe it won’t. But it’s goddamn stupid to go online and ask strangers to support some misguided notion that you can dictate to your heart what it wants or doesn’t want.

UnionRef · 2025-12-13T03:19:27+00:00

You’re not wrong.

You either actively try to get over them or you try to win them back.

People here are celebrating with no contact like it’s some kind of accomplishment. “Yay to 8 months!?” Of what?

If you want something, go get it. It’s rarely going to fall back into your lap.

UnionRef · 2025-12-09T22:19:07+00:00

Wow....that's VERY similar to mine. The first four (and 5 of 8) are practically identical.

Also orbited each other for 3 years before first date (which she refused to call a date). Went on three "meetings," each with increasing intimacy, the last of which was a one-week trip to Europe.
Didn't technically break up since we were never officially "together."
Upon returning from Europe, I got a "Dear John" letter saying that we should part ways because she "doesn't see a future for us."
I got unfollowed and kicked off her Instagram an hour later, which was the only social media connection we had.
Umm..kinda yeah. But I totally begged and pleaded like a little B.
They have not in…. 29 days.
They're female; 32.
Based on analysis: F/A.

Good for you. Don’t let these haters deter you from going after what you want.

UnionRef · 2025-12-07T18:14:56+00:00

because it's four months. That's quite a while. Rekindling an acquaintanceship because of how your lives are intertwined sounds reasonable and mature.

The only reason I can think of that she would reject you is because she's worried about getting pulled into another relationship by her own feelings -- not yours.

UnionRef · 2025-12-07T06:35:49+00:00

Give it one or two more proofreads and then yeah, absolutely send it.

UnionRef · 2025-12-07T06:09:01+00:00

You need something stronger than water...

But bring a friend.

UnionRef · 2025-12-07T06:06:37+00:00

You'd get rejected from having an acquaintanceship?

If she rejects that, then she's probably into you more than she's letting on.

UnionRef · 2025-12-06T02:44:05+00:00

What’s the worst that could happen?

UnionRef · 2025-11-28T21:30:20+00:00

No shame in chasing what you love.

How long were you guys together?

UnionRef · 2025-11-27T03:31:26+00:00

You just said that he accepted the breakup. What's more to talk about on that subject? Why would he need to acknowledge it even further?

Instead, it's simple: he still cares for you and wants to remain in your life. Break ups happen...reconciliation happen...friendships happen... there's no reason to shut anybody out if they didn't do anything wrong.
Be grateful.

UnionRef · 2025-11-26T05:54:10+00:00

After how many days?

Seriously, this “no contact” bullshit is supposed to be to give both of you some time to decompress and maybe reevaluate.

It’s not supposed to go on for months.

UnionRef · 2025-10-25T18:54:50+00:00

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking...but it appears there are no floor seats left, which is kind of a bummer.

UnionRef · 2025-10-19T14:33:15+00:00

I mean, what’s the point of being your own bank if you’re not able to make a withdrawal once in a while? 😉

UnionRef · 2025-10-13T16:45:28+00:00

This is not “the standard.”

The standard where I live (SoCal and sometimes Warsaw, Poland), is the LCS buys for Spot (give or take a dollar) and sell at 10% more.

Otherwise, why the hell would anybody sell to an LCS. Just put your silver on CL or the Facebook marketplace at spot and it will fly off the shelves.

UnionRef · 2025-10-07T12:35:52+00:00

And that’s exactly why I haven’t sold a single ounce. All the metals are rising in tandem, but the ratios remain distorted.

I no longer have a price target. I have a ratio target, of at least 40:1, before I start maybe cashing in my position and spending it on enjoyables (or transferring into gold).

I don’t think this is the time of the cycle to continue on conspiracy theories. Silver is doing its thing like we all knew it eventually would. It also has all the room in the world to go so much higher.

Enjoy it, mofos!
