How much steam is left in the PM trade?

Its not really a mystery, you're jabbed for sure... It's sad for you and your family, however on the plus side maybe the next moderator of silverstackers.com will actually be a stacker and not a crypto/stocks guy who doesn't own any physical silver.

 

There’s that politics and ideology again.. stacking is like flies on shit for that. Carry on, you won’t be the first or last, in fact that welll-trodden path looking more like a trench now

 

What a load of crap!
You invest in what you like and hopefully make a return.
Pretty elementary.

We have had many excellent people here over the years.
All stackers of some sort.
Still alot of good people who like the shiny stuff, being Gold, Silver, Jewellry, Watches and many other interests.

Interesting you take a dig at crypto just because it is a wild west out there.
Have you ever bought any?

Why have a jibe at Shiney?
He has done a great job keeping this forum alive.
If this forum had just been purely about Silver and nothing else,
this forum would have been dead years ago.

We ar not the US.

 

On SLV the monthly macd is close to a roll over but it might need to drop back and retest the 200 daily and weekly lines first.

I think its going back for a retest.

 

I use metal as a bank account because then I own what's mine not a bank.
The primary use of this forum as I can tell is as a physical trading platform. It's odd that the moderator doesn't own any.

Yes, I brought some over time, sold it all for healthy gains that I've put into silver.

I'm not saying it should be only about silver.
I don't understand why someone with no interest in stacking silver would want to moderate silverstackers.com.

Silverstacking is pretty well tied to a political ideology of independence and not trusting of institutions, not surprising at all.

 

Shiney has his own strategies as we all do and i like the diversity of SS.
I think hes half nuts sometimes but hes always consistent so theres more to it and thats mod material.


Hell i even want a nice watch now and my wife is pissed about it haha. I tell her she can always go live with momma.

What would you guys recommend around 2-3k between Omega and Rolex or whatever is good.
Something I can hold onto for 10 or 20 years and wear on occasion.

Seems like a watch would be a nice "off grid" diversity and it can also tell me what time it is at 300M below sea level.

 

Yeah you're not wrong. Metals are a source of fundamental truth whether people get hurt over that fact or not is up to them.
I think metals should be an interest and accessible to all, not because of distrust in institutions but distrust of humanity and vulnerability to corruption itself. Henceforth why it should be considered insurance, primarily.

The fact that there will always be a subset of the population that dislikes, distrusts or flat out rejects social, corporate or political structures means that metals will always be a home-base for those actively promoting and sowing the seeds of their destruction. I'm not for or against this. Of course, I personally want freedom, guns, drugs and all the good stuff but most ideology left and right can straight up suck my ass. Power corrupts and always will. Those advocating ideology are just advocating for alternative or existing power structures. Who do I trust with power if I don't even trust myself? God, potentially. But I'm an atheist. Au and Ag metals I can trust, it's as close to God as a simple man can get.

So what do I think of the absolutists? Well one side would like to take LSD and weave baskets on a commune, sharing organic food and each other's breast milk before the full-moon orgies (e.g. Osho/orange people).
Whilst the other side want to live in fortified compounds, home school their kids and live without surveillances under their own law or the laws of their faith defended by heavy arms (e.g. The QLD cop-killers who I'm surprised aren't being hero-worshiped by some here). Both sides almost want the same thing. One suffers from idealism the other from paranoia.

Depending on my mood I could enjoy both ways of life. Both of these lifestyles and ideologies have more in common than you think, and time-and-time again demonstrate a failed launch, gifting us with nothing more than power fuelled death and destruction on unimaginable scales. So when I see it, even if it's in it's weakest and meekest form - I gnash my teeth at it because it's just a demon waiting to be summoned, to explode in frenzied gorge of our weaknesses, our humanity and our future.

 

My boss wears a rotation of all the good ones and yes, he gets hit HARD with all the hats out come 'Movember' haha...

 

Do you guys think watch prices are high right now or low, and will they deflate like other luxury items?
Maybe some sales coming up in that area ya think?

 

Have not watched this yet. But my gold portfolio (junior and mid-tier) has been steadily creeping up last 8 weeks, not really from increased volume but just a lot less selling and sell orders being pulled. Definitely a trend change but no idea how sustainable. Maybe just the tide going out before the tidal wave takes everyone back down !

 

Gold is looking good especially at AUD $71. Should the USD rise significantly faster than spot gold may drop, selling Aussie gold in the lull may turn a quick profit.
