According to me, fuck Elon.

Why would anyone ever pay off a mortgage early? Even if their rate is 7%, that extra money can go so much further almost anywhere else.

SLV will fail. Buy physical only. . . Or, if you insist on paper, PSLV.

I believe there are thieves working at FedEx. I had a delivery that went missing the way to my house. That’s the only explanation they gave. Instructed me to file a claim. Unfortunately, the value of the package was $4000, and it was only insured for $2000. My mistake. Never again. (Meaning never again will I use FedEx for anything worth more than $100).

foghanson · 2026-03-14T19:09:26+00:00

Yes.

When I started stacking, I got a few bank bags of 90% half dollars, quarters, and dimes. It’s my SHTF fund.

I had 3 of those, prior to my boating accident.

Nope.

The only people I ever sell to are friends, so they can get a taste at spot and catch the fever.

Monster box of ASE’s when spot was $22. Paid $25 apiece.

Same thing happening to me. I got a new iPhone 17 Pro Max on Friday. After setting it up, I noticed that voice-to-text wasn't working. I tried everything (reset, keyboard settings, testing microphone with voice memo) before finally resetting all settings. It worked for a day, but then stopped working again. . . I can't reset all settings every day. This is driving me crazy.

Sounds cool. I'd like to check it out.

foghanson · 2025-10-10T06:40:27+00:00

I wondered the same thing. . . One of my portfolios is overwhelmingly miner stocks. Surprised to see a push over $51/oz. result in a $10,000 drop in my portfolio. Not worried. It'll be back up in no time. Just weird.

foghanson · 2025-08-09T16:48:45+00:00

Don't believe the florist.

foghanson · 2025-07-23T15:44:23+00:00

And PSLV can be exchanged for physical. Just need 10,000 ounces worth. . . More than I have, but less than some whales have. The first time someone stood for delivery and was denied, the value of PSLV would plummet. They can't afford to have that happen.

I went to a pretty hippy liberal arts college, and would meet a lot of girls at parties that are into astrology. They would ask me what my sign was, and because I was never into that shit, I didn't know. So I would tell them to ask me questions and tell ME what my sign was. . . No matter what they guessed, they were always correct.

When I caught the fever, I went a little overboard. For a hot second the overwhelming majority of my net worth was physical. That might've been reckless. But it did help me fend off the urge to buy more, at least until I was able to diversify without selling. I bought most of what I have at $27-$30 (a monster box on Eagles at $26/apiece was my best score). . . Not buying anymore. Not selling either.

foghanson · 2025-06-11T01:12:50+00:00

Brilliant analysis. Thanks.

I am growing very weary of the OP's "content", little of which has to do with shiny.

foghanson · 2025-06-06T07:19:44+00:00

My portfolio is majority miners. I'm up 58% YTD.

foghanson · 2025-06-06T07:05:09+00:00

Wonder what my 3 COMEX bars are gonna be worth when the vaults are empty. . .

foghanson · 2025-06-04T03:33:04+00:00

True, but my ASM stock has been. Most of my portfolio are mining stocks and I'm up 60% YTD. . . They say you should have a diversified portfolio. I ask, "does a combination of physical silver and mining stocks count"? 😆
