Spot is $31. 60% x $31 = $18.60. Spot plus 60% is $31 + $18.60 = $49.60. Subtract your eBay and PayPal costs then add any profit on postage, and you'll probably pocket $47.
Interesting Redback, I tend to agree. The commonly quoted historical GSR of 16:1 is now a useless indicator. Pray tell more concerning your ideas of the GSR.
Ok but its lengthy and complicated so .try to keep up.ok it goes like this. "The GSR is a total CROCK"..Its like using the JBFR (Jesus's Basket of Fish Ratio)..For every basket he pulled out 120 fish...no hang on 80..or was it 50 ...long time ago--- can't remember anymore.. REDBACK
Well, took some thought, but I think I understand your train of thought. Have also googled JBFR and drew a blank there.
under 750 it's a fiesta I remember feeling guilty about buying at 750 last quarter 2010 how times change
LOL... I'm not a complicated man and i can't use profanity to describe the GSR ratio soyour left with the Jesus story.sorry man.. ROFL Take care my friendbut i will say any time someone starts a trade off with i'll take your gold for silver at the current GSR ratio,i know i am going to get screwed REDBACK
It's not my pockets that are hurting. >_> ha ha, well not really, I'm still in the green, but I won't mind getting in the red if I do. Even if the price doesn't move for decades, I'll be glad I have something I can hold onto and does not expire. If these were stocks I'd be selling at a loss because companies come and go.
Im hurtin. I got in at $39 and as soon as it breaks back, Im selling it all. Too broke to hold it long term.
No significant purchases since Jan/Feb so am still up. No metal was bought with debt so I can sit on it without being too concerned. I tend to agree with hobo-jo, end of QE2 may result in POS weakness and asset prices in general. Happy to build cash reserves with smaller procurements of bullion (moreso gold than silver). I have a feeling metal shares will tank in the short-term but bullish in the longer-term... sell in May and go away!
