Penny is now a bitter prostitute lamenting her lack of PM's which she sold for a nights boozing - moral of the story don't sell your PM's then you can be a happy hooker
Now that is a Silver bar with a story! Penny and I got married in 1988 as part of Australia's 200th yr party. Penny went on to greater things.
Penny got the bar from when she was on the TV series LOST. She travelled back in time to be with Desmond & to the go forward in time to be killed by her memories of the past. Penny's father, Mr Whitmore then had to go back to the island to hunt down Ben, who held the key to the whole Dharma secret. Mean while Locke & Hurley had to deal with the magic bar of silver.
HAHA, great stuff. For those interested, it's a 1/2kg bar. I love old bars and the engraving on the back sold it for me. Obviously even with a lucky irish name like Bailey, Penny wasn't wished enough luck, although realistically, if it was purchased before 1988 then Penny probably collected a very decent profit and flipped it for some Palladium.
Penny turned 21 in 1977 and her dad bought the bar for $5 an ounce (approx $80). In 1980 Penny had her first child, and decided to sell her bar at $48 an ounce ($761). She put her money in the bank for (the kids education fund) for 6 years at 10% interest. In 1986 she took all the money ($1348) and bought 64 shares in microsofts IPO at $21 per share. Due to stock splits, she now owns 18432 shares in microsoft at $27.90 each. Penny is now thinking of selling her $514,252 of microsoft shares and using it to buy 17,497 ounces of silver.
