Futures are saying it's going to be a very rough day for both bonds and stocks.

[Mariner]

Buckle up!

[BipolarBob]

Will silver ever be affordable again?

[norcal joe]

Just curious - why did you post that? Are you a communist? Seriously.

[Repeal The 17th]

Down days are buy days.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Sounds like a buying opportunity coming up.

[CaptainK]

It’s Trump’s fault!!!

Yeah, things will drop a few hundred points over EU freakouts and it’ll be a great time to pick up some of your favorite stocks on the cheap.

Nice buying opportunity.

Not for the faint of heart...

[GOPJ]

It’s still affordable now - the question is ‘will it be affordable in the future’?

[Mariner]

I posted it to troll for stupid people.

[Mariner]

Surging interest rates are killing bonds.

[The Duke]

He posted it because over this past weekend silver has gone absolutely crazy in the Asian markets (which have not been closed). Some industrial silver-dependent businesses are even instructing their buyers to "pay whatever it takes" to buy silver. The belief is that this is going to cause many banks to go under rather quickly (in fact, I heard of one very large European bank that has already been "liquidated" over this.).

Because silver is critical to the US defense industry, we could even find ourselves staring at silver confiscation.

These are the types of things that could have a big influence across all markets. We're basically in uncharted territory.

[Uncle Miltie]

Bonds are stupid investments (IMHO).

[GOPJ]

I’m guessing less silver will be used in American coins soon. Silver is like a rare rare earth element...

“Not for the faint of heart”

it never is to buy when everyone else is panic dumping ... hard to buck the herd, and then you have to sell when everyone else is irrationally exuberant ... buy low, sell high ain’t easy ...

[SteelPSUGOP]

They have not used silver in coins for decades

[Blueflag]

My wife and I may need to liquidate our grandparents’ silver flatware, teas service, coin-silver ladle, chalices, etc.

Our kids have little interest in them. It’s just sitting there in the bog armoir.

What’s silver worth per ounce again???

;-)

The last coin to include silver was the 1970 half dollar.

WHOA! Thanks for one serious correction... I thought the outside of coins was coated in silver - turns out I was 100% wrong.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Sterling is worth about $2.30 a gram. A typical 36 gram salad fork is worth about $85. Getting that is somewhat of another story.
