Will silver ever be affordable again?
Just curious - why did you post that? Are you a communist? Seriously.
Down days are buy days.
Sounds like a buying opportunity coming up.
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...
It’s still affordable now - the question is ‘will it be affordable in the future’?
I posted it to troll for stupid people.
Surging interest rates are killing bonds.
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.
Bonds are stupid investments (IMHO).
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 ...
They have not used silver in coins for decades
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???
;-)
dont believe everything you see on the internet..

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