Yes, but haven’t for some time now after a switch to eagles. The metal paper markets have become little more than ponzies, imho. Also a vehicle for tptb to manipulate prices to keep their fiat from becoming worth less.

This is how we know, with certainty, that we are now at the beginning of the end of the world.

A friend in Germany tells me everyone’s panic buying sausages and cheese. It’s the Wurst Käse scenario.

prepare for a possible shelter in place in 48 hours

Hmm, yeah. Like you said - too expensive to buy physical silver now. The spread is you posted - just crazy, at least for AE.

But people could perhaps get 90% coin silver. Still some good deals there it looks like. I just like how the Kennedy half-dollars look - totally unscientific.

"Can we start a pool?"

"I don't think that should be done on FR."

Fury, I've got to tell you, the pool of greatest concern to us all, and you have helped to indicate this, is the gene pool.

...I know there are West Virginians that work in DC Metro.

Hopefully they protect their home-folk by not going back for a while

Reduce exposure in hospital, preserve equipment.

Glad to see some still maintain a sense of humor. That's important...:)

LOL. Perhaps.

Sounds like getting ready for possible terror attack.

Agree, and the price isn't that bad. About 14 times face, iirc. It's what I would buy over SLV - again, that's just me. :)

“I honestly had no idea just how MANY Americans don’t have 2 or 3 weeks of their stuff at home.”

I was at the local Save Mart for organic Greek yogurt, (plain, of course) and could easily overhear a young woman still in her workout outfit telling her girlfriend over the blue tooth that she had to pick up groceries and water...because she had no food in the house.

She was dragging to young children with her.

BTW, there was a glut of Greek yogurt in the cooler.

Not sure how people NOT cancelling their bookings helped to crash the price of Norwegian Cruise Lines. If anything, the opposite.

I suspect it’s something else, perhaps the fact they are getting NO BOOKINGS at this time and may not for years (not that they’ll be around).
