Okay, I see my error. My apologies. I see silver was about 60 cents/ozT in 1920 - not adjusted.

cheapo Can you tell me the price of silver in 1915 dollars, in 1915?

The only point I see is that purchases are guided by emotion, not logic or common sense. That is, what 'should be', logically speaking, does not always occur. Pirocco's point was much better made, and carried much more truth. Charts and graphs are very handy to demonstrate whatever it is one...

You have lots of time to make mistakes, I can't see that you have made any so far. Expecting $5 silver would be a mistake - even if it occurs, expecting it would still be a mistake. Sometime we do all the right things (rationally speaking), and still get bad results. Cheers

Someone else pointed out that that the answer to that probably depends on spot price when a person started stacking. I agree - not always true, but a major factor. For myself, I consider anything below $22 U.S. to be a good price. That is about $10 under my starting point. I'm one of the ones...

I received my ATBs yesterday. I don't find the Mint site as intuitive as non-government sites. I originally subscribed for three, and decided the price was so good I'd order two more. I was hesitant to cancel my first subscription, knowing how government things operate. I couldn't update my...

You must be a mighty big Roo.

Thanks for the correction. In many states there is a flat 5% tax - excluded if the spouse is surviving. There is also a concern that the Gov may decide to confiscate, not today, but under future circumstances. For Pennsylvania -"Pennsylvania has a law which specifically addresses the entry...

To be fair, he didn't say which Monday. When I started thinking about stacking, a friend said "Buy it now, $100 is right around the corner." As I watched the price drop, I thought, "Let's give it a try." I'm content with sideways for a year, even a decade. The only downside is, I've postponed...

In the states if an owner of a safety deposit box dies, Big Brother get to open the box, to see what has been stored, and figure out the tax that is due, probably about 40% for most of us, maybe more.

From what I can piece together - just a hunch - it seems to me the 'real cost to produce' - is around $19.50 U.S. All those mines producing silver as a by-product (or not), decide at some point to stock pile, instead of releasing to buyers. Make more money in the end by holding for awhile...

Tongue in cheek, or seriously? So tell me, in your playbook, doesn't "market dynamics" include player manipulation, often referred to as 'smackups'? That is, intentional buying, selling, and related activities, to influence market prices. I mean, surely 'market dynamics' includes more than -...

Just about a year for me - little less. I'm buying some 'high' premium pieces to sell off in a few years - in case the economy recovers/stabilizes, but most of it will be in family possession when, I will not need such things. The funny thing is, if spot really does hit $50, that is when it...

In 1915 silver was $11.45 in 1915 dollars. http://www.macrotrends.net/1333/gold-and-silver-prices-100-year-historical-chart Adjusted for inflation, it was $266 in 2013 dollars. http://www.davemanuel.com/inflation-calculator.php So if silver goes to 1915...

I haven't searched other threads, but what about the material in Michael Lewis' book: ? He contends the stock market is overly complicated, and is being gamed regularly by high speed traders. Any attempts to correct the system would probably be gamed all over again with the new rules. They are...

I believe Copperhead is looking to the time fiat might be replaced. I'm getting a few hundred halves - mostly junk, but bullion too - just in case. Considering quarters, but not tenths -not yet. Valcambi gold makes sense - if you can live with the high premium, not silver, IMO.

I do not see SHTF scenarios as Apocalyptic, others do. This is one of those broad, nebulas terms, no unified meaning that I have seen. I would be interested in what it means to you. I do not see myself in a barb wire enclosure, armed guards at the doors, scavenging at night, bartering food...

You think all of those holding what I need and want to buy, and they are willing to sell, with accept gold as payment, but not silver? Gold current industrial use is just about ZERO. Silver will have to lose a bunch of industrial usages to get down to gold's level. What kind of mirror do you...

If someone wants a red balloon, they should ask me what color mine are, and I will tell them. I'd better ask what part of the spectrum they consider 'red'. They might think mine are pink, or purple, or orange. Some blues tend to the purple hue, and some even appear black in certain light. I've...

So you think I might mean something other than financial value? I would think that in a discussion of monetary issues (investment, speculation, etc.), that economical issues would be understood. Yes, I suppose I could mean emotional value, or moral value, although it never occurred to me. Value...
