Started buying in 2005 when not a shred of info could be found on the net. Could only buy in person or over the phone. Didn't really know WHY I was doing it but knew it was the right thing to do. Started my collection with 4 x 1oz gold pm lunar coins and a 1oz solve dog and snake. Started buying again when it dipped in 2008 and traded 20oz bars on eBay making 30% profit per sale. I took out a $15,000 loan and bought 920oz and a safe. Then online dealers popped up and the margins dried up. I remember selling 1kg bars for $700 each and thinking what a massive price! Now I just stack like mad and enjoy filling each safe.
I bought some years ago then forgot about it, being a very small purchase. Then all of a sudden one night i had a very lucid dream, Silver was $560.00 per oz. I lucid dream a lot. The next day i started buying silver again, cashed in paper, spent the tax return,and liquidated assets. I also stack,flour, sugar,cans etc cos if silver does hit that price it will be because of financial global doom.
Because I needed a large weight to place on top of my paper assets. Plus it's tangible. The ultimate insurance policy really.
I invested in silver because I wanted to become a member of the SS. Oh yeah, Post #10, I think I just became a member, alright!
