    No problem with his making a living but when you're selling ideas alone then you might be tempted to gild the lily if there's an extra dollar in it for you.

    Wish I had started in 2009 when I originally looked into PM. The wife and the fiancial advisor convinced me shares were the way to go. No time like the present. By a few ounces now and if the price drops then future purchases will feel like bargains :)

    I had the same thoughts back when I got into PMs.
    My faith in the world economy has never been good, and getting into PMs seemed like a great exit strategy (especially to get out of USD).

    I figured at worst, I can leave PMs for my kids if I ever have them. Maybe in their life-times it will be more useful.
    I also stack gold for some extra comfort.

    I think the POS will keep rising while the QE music keeps playing.
    Once GFC2 happens I'd expect a drop, and will be prepared to buy the massive dip.
    TPTB may aim to create cycles out of this, running the show from China next time, and causing a GFC3 for cheap buyouts.

    So taking that into account, I don't think you've missed out and think of the next GFC for timing.
    DYOR etc..

    lindsey williams does sell those dvds, but then i heard him say feel free to copy and distribute those dvd's in one of his interviews...

    imho silver is not a buy right now. it's still cheap, but overdue for a pullback. maybe if you have none you could buy a small amount, but look to invest the bulk on a pullback, not after it's gone straight from $22 to $40.

    imo worst case scenario for buyers, it runs to $50 then has a massive sell off back to anywhere between $26.50-$40.

    but i could be wrong, who knows...

    So we should all buy Silver until your mate decides it is a good idea...when he does this, we will know it is time to sell....lol:)

    Buying the dips is a good theory but falls into the 'buy low, sell high' mentality...usually best identified in the rearview mirror ;)
    Cost averaging will net you the best benefit, if it falls and you buy more your unit costs drops.
    This is a commodity that is still 20+% below it's 1980 high (not even taking inflation into account, which you really need to do :D )
    It's STILL not recognised by the mainstream as a legitimate investment DESPITE it recent stellar run! (and neither, by the way, is gold...with such a small % of investment $ allaocated to it by the big players)
    This is a unique opportunity to turn coloured paper with dead people on it, or electronic 1s and 0s, into real, tangible MONEY...IMHO

    Heck, I was interested in Australian Gold Nugget 1oz coins in 1987 when they were $300 or so, but I was a 13yr old girl, obviously with no money. It breaks my former 13yr old heart to see the same ones on eBay for $2500! Time and tides wait for no man (woman, or little girl).
