I mean, I guess if you just want to have sterling silver on hand. I don't see any advantages to regular silver; say you want to trade or sell the silver. You now have to explain its sterling, hope they pay some kinda price per ounce for the silver and still make some kinda profit on your fork. As opposed to a regular bar of .999 pure silver.

At that price, it'll "hold its value," at least as well as any other silver product whose value is based primarily on silver melt price. It's not a great investment, but sometimes, the missus wants what she wants. |

I don't know what I was looking at before, but the last few years it appears to jump up as the end of Dec. progresses into Feb., then a wild hog ride... < Prays to the PM deity. > ("PLEASE stay down for my Tax refund...PLEASE stay down for my Tax refund...PLEASE stay down for my Tax refund...") EDIT: just say BIG and FDX were low, so I picked up some of them... too. Last edited by the86d; 12-31-2018 at 6:33 AM.. |

Gold $1302.84
Silver $15.70 How are everyone's predictions holding up? This thread has been going on for almost 6 years. I wonder how the market has performed against what people predicted would happen?

Hindsight is always 20/20, wish I bought more of it 10 years ago instead of "i'll wait until it drops 50 cents" or "I'll wait until its at $xx.xx before buying a million ounces". Those days came and went, and i had to buy higher than I previously intended. |

My first prediction already happened. My second will come about as interest rates rise and stabilize.

I keep hearing that; interest rates are going to rise back to the 90s levels of 14% and that'll mess everything up. Glad I have my mortgage rate locked in, but wouldn't high interest just increase the steady rise of PM prices? Instead of 10 cents per fiscal quarter, maybe it'll go up $1?

Commodities like gold and silver are more fun to watch then things like enron and other investments.

Well been eating off sterling since about the first of the year. It's a lot more fun having sterling flatware and using it every day than buying rounds that haven't seen the light of day in years. And the price was right, free handy downs. I really only have a few pieces but that's enough to use every meal.
The Gorham stuff I have goes for about $25 a piece on ebay. I plan to buy a few more. Actual silver weight varies by piece but not a terrible premium and kinda fun. Last edited by Norcalkid; 04-19-2019 at 2:06 PM.. |

Beck
Please note I'm not a fan of Beck, but he gets sponsors and does their bidding like any other show. I can't fault him for taking a sponsors money and telling people to buy a product.

Just because your house isn't worth what you paid for it, you don't lose money, unless you walk away, or sell it at the lower value... It'll go back up. When? Nobody knows... maybe during the next election? For 20 years the trend is still up (even 30, it just took longer)... |

Yeah but experts think gold could go as high as $8000 or higher in the near future! I bought the book and it says so!

Understood, but it does go to show that one should never take financial advice from radio talking heads.

Do you give away your PMs to family as presents?
I give my kids one of my silver eagles or maples for each tooth and a 1/10th ounce of gold for every tenth tooth. I figure I am keeping it in the family and they are not allowed to spend it until they finish college. Plus that is about the only use for the four 1/10 ounces I was stupid enough to buy. Do you gift out your PMs to family?

I just gave some Marvel super hero rounds to my son and future son in law. I gave a couple of rounds out to the crew that just painted my house because they did the job well and got it done quickly. They're great gifts!

Surely they still sell because of the price of a single ounce of gold, but I wouldn't buy fractions; you pay a huge premium (multiply the fraction out to a full ounce) and you'll never use the thing to buy anything or barter. It just doesn't make sense for me to buy fractions. But like TheChief said; you can give smaller fractions to kids as gifts and they'll cherish it more than my 1+ ounce investment mindset.
