A quick question - I have had several successful trades with Captain Kookaburra and Blockhead of this forum, but none of these trades were resulting from a buying or selling thread on the forum. Is there someway that I could potentially document what would effectively be 'positive feedback'...

:o Fair play. A serious pullback would be a nasty look, still. I'm sure that you have calculated various contingency plans. Still, I'm curious. If it is not too rude to ask :P - of all the forms of debt you could have utilised, you chose to use credit cards? Why not use another form of loan...

:o Sheesh - you would want to be VERY confident that the % gains in Ag exceed the exorbitant interest on your plastic debt? Wouldn't a bank loan have been a more efficient way to do that?

If you can't cover the downside, then don't. How would you deal with the possibility of having to liquidate part of your (possibly devalued) stack to cover payments on your loan? Hopefully it wouldn't come to this, but you do have to ask yourself such questions, I think.

I know that much of the speculation on these forums is driven in large part by the imminent demise of the USD, and fiat currencies worldwide. Obviously a part of the value of silver (and other metals) is driven by industrial demand. In the event that there is another, far more serious economic...

Hang on, but that isn't quite comparing apples to apples - is it? Does the same principle/curve apply to PMs universally? Why not just buy 1 Oz and 10 Oz bars for liquidity purposes? As someone with minimal knowledge re. numismatics, what is this inherent track-record of lunars that you speak...

So, I've read Mike Maloney's great book (twice, actually), and a few things from Schiff. I've got a print-out of 'The Creature from Jekyll Island' lying round here, that I will probably check out next. I really enjoyed Maloney's book, especially the depth the goes into exploring the historical...

Further to this point, I guess my underlying concern is the probability of capitalising on numismatic premiums. While I respect that many members of this forum take great pride and enjoyment from the collectability and aesthetics of coins, for me this is a non-factor, so any numismatic premium...

Not sure if this is a noob question, but as someone whose stack is primarily focussed on bars, I often question the premium attached to numismatics. Hypothetically, a certain coin sells at, say, $10 over spot at today's price - would one expect that same to sell at $20 over spot when the price...

:O So, as a younger gentleman, I should handle with caution?

Care to summarise?

I'd like to see a big pullback, just to load up once again. Will be interesting to see how much media coverage transpires once it does surpass its all time high, for sure. TBH, I really didn't expect it to ascend quite this rapidly this year.

I can think of a few reasons.... I'm curious to yours. Care to elaborate?

Just a quick question re. insurance for PMs, as I forsee a few issues that relate to the topic. As I know a fair portion of this forum have concerns regarding financial privacy, whats is the consensus on insuring PMs - or does this very action nullify the ideal of financial privacy...

Hi guys - I'm new(ish) to the forum, but I have a suggestion that might help out a lot of the members. Clearly there is a lot of info (and conjecture) in the Super sub-forum relating to PMs in SMSFs. Perhaps it would be good if some of the key links and resources from these threads could be...

^^ This.

Hi guys, Just wondering what sort of system/documentation you guys use to keep track of your metal purchases and sales? Especialy if one has been buying through private sellers, how can one legitimise the declared cost o purchase, should the ato be curious? I've only been stacking for 4 months...

Wow... thanks for that link. I had now idea that we sat way...way....way....down there. Spain, Italy, Greece.....erm, thats some highly dubious company, given the latest bout of euro hijinks. :/ Should I be massively concerned? Please excuse my lack of knowledge, but is it oversimplistic to use...

Thanks for that great link to the document re. the Big Bank Smash of 1893 - how eerily familiar are the circumstances that preceeded it?!

^^^ Just so I'm clear - are you suggesting that the real estate bubble in Australia could likely bust to the same magnitude of the US one?
