Agreed last weekend i went to shops spent $200 on basically nothing then went to poker on tuesday and spent $100 on nothing as well . . I could have bought 10 oz of silver for that
Out of the classes you list, I guess I'm a B+. Basing this second thought on the responses already posted, I think it seems that you left out one evidently large class: Class Z = Uncooperative, quirky eccentrics who read and post in SS.
There's gotta be something wrong with me when I can drop a couple of grand on silver and gold without breaking a sweat, but think buying a car or house is "too risky" I'm like school on Sunday... NO....CLASS
Section A all the way, but really want to got to section B, IMHO its gonna be years before I get there
Errol, great post which would lead to some interesting data! I will say, though, that unless you specifically wanted to target silver (which is fine if so, but it may represent only a portion of some people's stack, if they're stacking precious metals as opposed to purely stacking silver), you may need to add a couple of options to the choices you've listed That said, answering for myself purely along the lines of your stated question (thus, ignoring items in my stack that are not silver), I would likely best fit into Section B, although I'd clarify by saying I'm not striving for any set number, I'm stacking various things in a ratio which I'm comfortable with, and if I should happen to pass any milestone along the way, that's by accident rather than intent.
I'm curious how many actually speculate by using leverage on silver. If you believe silver will rocket within a year there are some very cheap call options that can be bought e.g If you think silver will be beyond $40 in a year you can buy a call option for about 10c. So 10000oz position would cost you about $1000. If your bold predictions are true and silver hits $50 within a year you've just made $100K. Obviously if it doesn't (most likely) you will lose a grand. All about the timing.
I'm A. I could also say D also because I took all of the money i saved during college and invested it in Silver which was a lot to me personally. What defines a large amount of silver you buy each month/year? A specific amount of money or a percentage of what you make? I think it would be best to say that a percentage of what you make determines if you buy in large amounts, small armounts or in between
