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.
