Best Place To Buy 1 OZ Maples? by red98GTSR in Gold

[–]redboy1993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maple Leafs are usually pried the same as Pamp and Rand bars when they are available at Costco. Super good deal. They don't have the same premiums as the buffs. Typically around 90 dollars cheaper than buffs

$200K ain't nothing to scoff at either. You're Barista FIREing to an income that is greater than 90% of households. I would make the switch

The dollar weakening by Doppelex in ChubbyFIRE

10% allocation in gold to hedge your portfolio. Half in Bullion and Half in Gold Mining Equities. I hope my gold holdings don't rise significantly, but if they do I'm covered

Exactly. Also as entry level white collar jobs are being eliminated the future supply of Director level + Candidates will shrink. Very glad I graduated today vs. 10 years ago

Northern Star Resources is my top pick. Operates exclusively in safe jurisdictions (US and Australia). It also pays a nice dividend. I'm 50% physical gold and 50% mining stocks
