A friend of mine encouraged me to join this site as he felt it would be an education for me and has urged me to invest in gold and silver on numerous occasions in the past! (You know who you are! ) Sooooo.....let's see what there is to be learned.
Welcome Ladybird. A good friend he be indeed. We'll teach you everything we know and you will still know nothing. Welcome aboard the silver express, where is she going, nobody knows. Regards Errol43
Hello all what a great site. I have only been involved with Silver since Nov last year but I have managed to collect a touch over 1800 ounces so far. Started buying at the Perth Mint until they ran out, then got some coins off ebay and got the bug. Lots of good stuff to read here.
You said you were going to use ConConExtremeEdition as your name O_O ha ha ok so I'm not the person you speak of Still woulda been a cool name though >_> Hello & welcome btw
Thanks for all the welcome posts, folks. @ jnkmbx I think I'll stick with Ladybird, if it's all the same to you. @typhoon You might be a new member on here (welcome!) but it sounds like you're off to a flying start with your investments. @Matrix Glad to have 'inspired' your latest project.
Sorry LadyBird I thought I was starting my own hello post. I don't have too much nouse on forums so I'm sorry to intrude. Hi MatrixOpals. I started buying silver last Nov after reading all of the hype about exploding prices etc, bought a few grands worth of Bullion each week and just kept stacking it up, then about a month ago after I stood often in the long lines at the Pert Mint I was told no more for 3 months so I bought some Gold but it didn't feel the same. That was 2 days before the bum dropped out of the price, so I went to ebay and a few US mint sites and started buying coins and rounds, thats when the bug bit, about 800oz (or coins) ago. Another member here turned me on to an Aus site last night and I got a stack of 1oz Koala's so it looks like it's back to buying in Aus. The way I see it is that if I invest money in Silver then the wife can't waste it on clothes. It would be nice to see it head back to the $50 mark though. This site was a great find.
:lol: Something tells me Matrix is going to love you! I wish I had 'a few grand' spare each week to invest as you describe. :S And, no, I don't spend all my cash on clothes (before anyone suggests that! ) And no problem about sharing the thread.
@ Matrix I would have thought you'd have preferred flames beneath yours (i.e. wings) :| Anyway, pardon my ignorance and I have had a look at the forum rules but I can find nothing that answers this question for me... What do I have to do in order to be allowed to post in the 'General discussion' forum? :/
Welcome Ladybird, I think Pell'y put a 1 week block on new members posting to stop spamers/trolls coming into the forum, especially after the paper market droped.
S'me told! :/ But it's ok...I'm used to Matrix bossing me about elsewhere. And, as is so often the case, he is right enough.
