Silver continues above $100. High thus far is $106.58
“Never in its 241 years of history has the US dollar has fallen 250% against silver and 83% against gold in under one year....”
I guess you never heard of the Hunt brothers.
“Also remember the largest financial crisis in history occurred , under Trumps last term. Just sayin.”
I guess you never heard of the 1929 crash.
Or the 2008 crash.
There is a supply shortage of silver.
Demand is 1.2 billion oz per year.
Supply (mining + recycling) is about 1.03 billion oz per year.
Meanwhile, the demand for silver is increasing.
Someone is not getting their silver. Prices will continue to rise.
DXY is down .50% at $97.108.
Which company made your class ring?
I had two crowns on my teeth replaced. I kept the gold one. Gold is $5000/oz-tr or $155/g. Even a few grams may be worth keeping.
Class rings were generally 10 karat gold. FTC required them to be at least 9.5 karat. 9.5/24 = 39.6% gold.
Class rings are typically 10 karat gold. Must be at least 9.5 karat. That’s 39.6% gold.
Thanks for the already known info. It is 18 carrot gold which I calculated in its worth.

Interesting that the spot market continues to rise overnight. The NYSE open will be interesting. Will we see a rush to Metals?
For clarity I have some tiny amount in SLV Options.
“It changes it from an investment to an expense.”
I bought the silver for $20 and the gold for $2400 per ounce. I currently have my sell bars set at $45 for silver and $4,600 for gold. I’ll keep moving the sell points up as the prices rise.
I’m not claiming that metals are always a good investment, but inflation has been much higher than reported and hanging onto cash seemed a bad choice. Most of my investments are pre-tax retirement accounts with Fidelity and TIAA-CREF and are managed professionally by people with way more accurate information and investment experience than mine. So, I took half of my available cash and bought gold in August of 2024. The silver was purchased after Christmas of 2022. It was a gift from my father-in-law. Thanks Jim.
I’m pleasantly surprised that I finally did the right thing at the right time. The gold is going to net me more than my annual income as long as I’m smart enough to sell it before any market corrections.
Up 30% from 2008 low.
Our paper market closes.
China’s physical market opens - and is trading at higher values.
Our market opens and is forced (I think) to adjust upwards...
At this point I’m gradually moving some of the gains to things beginning.
Crazy times!
Just butting in, as usual!
I was going to upgrade my diamond with my current PM windfall. Buying the loose stone right now will be a bargain. BUT getting it set will be a costly matter. However, you can usually find a decent, classic setting on the second-hand market.

Maybe a pair of larger diamond stud earrings?
Or maybe I’ll just stick with my plan of new windows for my old farmhouse and a new-to-me SUV come Spring? ;)
The Covid world wide shut down panic wiped out trillions, and flooded the world with hundreds of $$$ billions in printed money, the largest loss in history.
You are not in my league, you only spout what your lying western MSM wants you to believe....you probably were triple vaxed to.
MSM paper boyz will never print Silver gains, they prefer you stay in thin air and paper.
