Yes, I know.

$1,350.00 was the most recent ‘goal’; it hasn’t been performing as well in the past few years. Just a little upwards motion, then big drops.

She’s smokin’ HOT today! $1,384.40, currently. :)

LOL! You’re right, of course.

I’ve been in the PM Game for 15 years now. As a teen I spent my allowance money on Commodities, versus nail polish and Tiger Beat magazines...

...way back in the Dark Ages when you used a newspaper, stubby pencil and a telephone (attached to the wall! *GASP*) to invest. Chocolate. Coffee. Rice. Oil. Pork Bellies. It was a hobby I shared with my Dad and Grandpa.

I’m currently not buying or selling; just sittin’ pretty.

And I still don’t buy nail polish or magazines. ;)

My first silver buy was in 1987. Back when you major banks had a Metals desk. Walk up. Plunk Down cash, and walk out with rounds, bars, whatever.

No premium, either. I think silver was around $4 an oz before the Hunt brothers started playing games.

Oh, yes. Dad & Grandpa had some CHOICE words for The Hunt Brothers back then, LOL!

I inherited Grandpa’s coin collection. It’s been fun going through it, as he never let us kids ‘play’ with it in the past.

Nothing terribly valuable; probably the most interesting things are a few REALLY old Silver Dollars and I think he’s saved one or more of every Wheat Penny ever minted. Woo-Hoo! Some of them are now worth a whole nickle. ;)

There’s a lot of folks out there waiting
for fifty dollar silver to come back, so
they can finally sell.

Not sure we’ll see that again. BUT - I’d cash out gold first if need be and hold on to the silver.

JMHO. YMMV. :)
