Took Perth Mint depository several days to respond to an account enquiry of mine, they finally replied Sunday evening! and mentioned "we are currently being inundated with account openings and trades at the moment". Likely because it's the only place in Oz left that still has large physical stock (inc 1kg silver bars)
A few people here have said that - but when you navigate to the online bullion section, you get “out of stock” for all 3 of the kilo options. 2020 kooks and Roos out of stock too, though there looks like 2016’s. I can’t see any kilo bars though they may be available at the PM store itself.
I picked up 100 oz silver bar at ABC on Thursday last week, purchased on the 17th. No longer an option to order though. Shame I did not take a pic of it before dropping it off at CV for storage :\
I did have a discussion with "dumb noobs" a few days ago. They wanted to know which currency is better to put their savings in. My comments and ideas were ignored by the fiat lovers. They did actually believe that currency rates can go all the way up to a certain limit only, but not higher (hilarious). I tried explaining the Venezuela crisis, but they were too dumb to understand - although, the Venezuelan hyperinflation is in the mainstream news. One guy mentioned gold (like someone who just heard about it, but didn't actually invest in it), but someone put him down with "Man, gold is expensive" and so on and so on. So, the discussion went on about fiat currencies - someone at some point went into explaining why the GBP is the best investment right now (I don't believe that personally). People are uneducated. They don't understand and laugh you in the face if you try to explain hyperinflation, consumer price inflation, supply chain interruption etc. These dumb masses will jump aboard gold and silver just like they're doing now with different fiat currencies. The second category are semi-educated people (like the ones who jumped aboard Bitcoin too late). Gold is going up and I think 3,000 $ could be in next year. A possibility.
Could be in the next few months and then some Mainly due to events in the UK and USA Too early to say for Australia, though maybe some states will get their cases right down to nothing soon enough (say a month) and relax restrictions earlier than others. You can imagine the positive impact on the ASX with successive states and territories relaxing controls.
Infection controls. Ie, something hopeful in terms of the economy. Government relaxing these controls to the point where we were just over a week ago, at least within some states, should see a rally on the ASX.
My butt has been in a pucker, sent a check off to jmbullion last week and coin was supposed to be in stock. They should have my check by now I think and they said an extra 15 days for a shipping date. I will feel better when I have it in my hand! I'm sure all will be fine but its alot of $$ and I always have a little pucker factor waiting on shipment.
He has a point but I just can't see it happening this time round. Not a 700-950usd crash maybe we could test $1375 but that's about it Also gold previously had a major bull run from $300 to $1000 so a 30% correction is understandable. This time round we came out of a 6 year bear market and my god gold is super hot atm
Is he conscious of reality around him or does he eat through a straw? I think he well just yell the same nonsense for all eternity until he gets lucky one time so he can say ha, I told you so.
Harry Dent guessed right once and since then his tune has been the same but the orchestra is playing a different song.
