During the great bull run of the 1970s, Gold actually had a correction for a few years from late 1974 @ $200 to a July 1976 low of roughly $100, before steadily increasing again (punching through the all time high of $200 in '78) until it went bananas by '79. The fundamental outlook for...

Well, you're not alone! I've been in a long position @ $23.75 since May-ish. The pressure on metals should be alleviating with the prospects of the Fed tapering this year drying up. If we can get up to $27-$28 by the end of the year, I'd be a happy man.

Search on the internet for a silver acid test solution. You basically put a drop of the stuff on the coin, and if it turns a certain colour it is silver (or at least silver plated). As for knowing absolutely for sure that there isn't a second type of metal within the bar? Pack a portable drill.

I'll be nice and offer to take all your silver for spot price. :D You have to suppress your animal instincts to make a buck in the market. Investing with emotions is a bad way of doing business. Now that the doom and gloom is in for silver, don't you think it is a perfect time for someone to...

For my niece I've been giving her a 1 oz coin every birthday and Christmas. Hopefully by the time she is 18 she will understand the value of them.

The best form of silver to buy is going to be large bars (1kG) as they are closer to the total spot price. You can find bars going for near spot in the for sale section of these forums. I've only had the best dealings with people. If you buy now you'd get roughly 10KG of silver. Personally I'm...

Apologies then for putting the site in a risky legal position. I hope the OP reclaims his silver and if not, invests well in a safe for future peace of mind.

Apologies if I have offended anyone's sensibilities. I often forget that this is an Australian website after all.

A worst nightmare realized. My advice for anyone with a significant amount of silver is to get yourself a gun safe and stack your silver inside of that. Win win.

I have to agree here. Whenever a particular commodity or stock is highlighted on the 730 Project or Lateline Business, you have to question if it is nearing a correction downwards.

So on the American 12th/13th we have another Federal Reserve policy-making committee. If Bernanke announces QE3, or at least hints heavily at it, we all know the price of silver is going to go gangbusters. But what if he doesn't and puts a damper on things? Surely this will be bearish for...

I picked up the 50 cent coins he had. While I was there I took a few pictures of what silver he has. Would any of you care to make a valuation of what he has? http://s175.photobucket.com/albums/w141/serialfool/silver/ Thanks.

Thanks very much for the speedy reply. I do believe I remember seeing .999 either inside the coin box themselves, or on some website detailing them. I think I'll pick up the 50 cent coins, but the others I'm unsure of.

Hi there, Today I came across a fellow with some silver coins and he is looking to sell. He scoffed at the idea of paying spot price, so he must be clued up regarding their value. From memory, I've made somewhat of a list of what he has. x2 1 ounce Kangaroo. From memory, the 1993-1994-1995...

So after the biggest 1 day loss in 30 years for silver, should we expect a bit of a rally or not? At the rate we're going we will be visiting the 20s next week, possibly even the early 20s.

Arrrr, who's the captain of dis fine vessel? Permission to board the short ship when the silver bounty hits $35.50!

That's what the chart says. Short of Ben Bernanke blowing a fuse and confessing that he is printing money to save the unsustainable US financial system, I think that's where we are headed. $27.

Silver just doesn't seem to be ready to jump off into the 40s again so soon after that huge move downwards. I'll be holding for a few weeks until the Fed makes it's announcement about the "end" of QE2 and then I'll be re-accessing the situation. If you have a look on any price chart for silver...

Just went short on 100 ounces @ $35.40, we'll see where the price goes in the next few weeks as I'm hoping for that next fall down to $27.

I'd be interested too. I recently set up a CFD account with CMC Markets but it's pretty hard to get your head around it.
