It took years but I finally think that I finally understand the relationship between silver and systemic price inflation. It appears to be a negative correlation. The more other goods and services go up in price the more silver goes down. The more SHTF the lower silver goes. How wrong were the pundits like Peter Schiff!
Unfortunately, it looks like silver is going to have to crash and burn to a far lower figure than most of us imagined, to free itself of the paper manipulators who control the prices. Until the Comex and London Bankster precious metals fixes are destroyed, silver will not be liberated or allowed to take its true former glory as a fair-priced majestic monetary metal. I feel sorry for those who put all their investment eggs into the silver basket, it could still be a long haul till real price discovery.
Agreed mate, for physical asset that I can "stack" I much prefer the yellow metal to the volatility and unreliability of silver. While I'll always have a place for silver in retrospect and just imo I believe I should've kept it as more of a collection. Got caught up in BS hype and bought in as a speculative "investment". Yes with right timing U can make money but I prefer passive income and insurance through physical gold. Still got alot to learn but hopefully Also time to do so
Im jealous silver is so cheap over there Still costs about the same here in the US without much relief. Are you guys getting it for spot or what???
Silver ATM sitting just under $29 but best dealer prices currently are around $6 over spot for generics like Roos. And when we sell we get under spot always from any dealers I know. Having this community amongst SS is of great benefit to all stackers both financially and through being able to talk to like minded people, def wouldn't trade with dealers again unless they've got prize piece's
Yes, silver is turning out to be very speculative. A good thing to have in any portfolio but not something to go all in on.
Well the S has finally hit the fan. War in Europe, Sri Lanka has failed and has entered anarchy and no food or fuel, forced mass injections with experimental compounds, All Western countries going into food and energy poverty. It has finally arrived. I wonder if we finally have the answer to what Gold and silver do when the SHTF? Perhaps PM's are more a hedge against a deep currency collapse than against inflation....
I'll once again highly state my opinions are incredibly novice but I think it's a contribution of factors happening simultaneously along with quantitative tightening and a loss of liquidity of majority of assets from monetary policy. Maybe if it was just inflation alone I believe metals would shine brighter and do a better job, up to this point at least gold was keeping relatively stable in comparison to most assets.
I paid $669 USD for a kilo bar from the Perth mint couple weeks ago, not sure if that’s good compared to what you guys pay
It's all relative and depending on exchange rate obviously but that's currently around $960 Aud,I'd still rather be paying with USD at this point, at least here U get better purchasing power for you $
Yeah prices can vary alot here between my lcs and online dealers so its good to shop around for the money. The last kilo bar i bought awhile back was around $960.
I'm bit envious of the local coin shops mate sounds like some good buys if U get along with the owners and place to physically go and sort deals and enjoy it more. I can only use online dealers here that's yet another reason was happy to find the site and to be around fellow stackers and collectors if only online it's good crew here
Platinum vs Palladium Gold vs Silver Gold has like a Golfing handicap when playing Silver re manipulation, supply, scarcity & real world present and future use cases.
Ask yourself who do you know who have invested like you and have made outsized wealth? If few to none, from where are you getting your advice and how is the person giving you the advice actually making money, is it you? Plenty of charlatans making money giving idiotic advice on shares, options, metals or digital
There is alot of people in cash right now and nothing wrong with that. Sometimes the best strategy is to stay out and be patient.
The coin shops are awesome but i wish they were a couple hours closer to me. I go there enough that they know me but online ordering is easier out here in the sticks and i do that more often i think. I really prefer the face-to-face dealings better and its usually a fun and successful trip with some good buys.
