I am curious. I know that if I buy shares through (for example) Saxo or a bank my order goes directly to some central computer where everybody buys and sells shares, so if there is a deal there is a new price. But silver? If I buy a coin from LPM or Kitco they just take it off their shelves...

So some coins have a P mark and some coins not? What does the P stand for? Are the ones with a P mark cheaper?

I cam across this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YH22UR5nTVY I think it's pretty cool. I am thinking of buying all the coins of some years (starting with the goat and the monkey, which are now cheaper) and put them in a box (the box is US$60). Do you think this would have additional...

OK, so I am starting to buy silver, since the price is righter. I am not planning to sell it, but only to collect. But yes, one day I will probably want to sell it, or at least I want to have the option. So, where can I sell it? There are two dealers in HK, so these are an option. The other...

Greetings, I have been looking at 1 kg and 10 oz Perth lunar coins on ebay, and I find instances when the price of the 10 oz coin is almost the same as the price of the 1 kg coin (for older coins). Sometimes I go "oh, this is a cheap 1 kg coin", and then I click on it and find out it's a 10 oz...

G'day mate. So I have been looking at these Niue silver coins, and some are rather spectacular. Yet, I never see a discussion here of these coins. Why is that? Do they have a bad reputation? I can see that their silver is 925 instead of 999, but apart from that?

Greetings everybody. I have been away for a year (thought I posted once a couple of months ago). How is everybody doing? So, last year I correctly predicted $15 by Christmas, and everybody said I was a fool (until I was proven right). Last year I would have betted (past of to bet) that the...

Hi, I haven't been posting for 6-7 months. How is everybody doing? I am looking at Rhodium. I can buy an oz for US$ 975, and likely it will drop a bit further. How good of an investment is that? When it moves it REALLY moves: it went from 500 in 2003 to 10,000 in 2008 (x 20 in 5 years), but...

It happens once every year! I knew it would happen this year too! I have to tell my wife! I have been saying "15$ by Christmas" since March, and I was ridiculed and laughed at. Who is laughing now? My next forecast is 10$ by Christmas 2015. Wanna bet?

That is, the price of gold: http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/talking-numbers/why-now-is-a-great-time-to-sell-gold-223319350.html

I keep hearing of the coming Chinese collapse, mainly from jealous Americans :) I don't particularly believe it, but what if it happens? It's true that nobody really knows how much debt there is, and all the data of the Chinese government are cooked. So, the question is, what will happen if the...

Given the uncertainties but likely drop in price of silver over the next 12 months, I think the best approach is definitely that of not buying anything until silver reaches $10-12/oz. That way you can lower your cost average quite considerably (maybe to $15/oz), which is a price silver may...

There are two problems that haven't been discussed yet: 1) Since 70% of the silver mined is a by-product of mining other metals, there isn't really a bottom price, where you can say "below this it doesn't make sense to mine silver, so it won't drop below this". As a by-product, the only cost of...

Aren't you concerned about giving the seller your home address? Most people stack at least some of their silver at home. Same goes with trades right here. What's your opinion?

There seems to be a correction with the stock market. I don't know when it will end, but say it continues for another 2 weeks, and there is general pessimism about the economy (the stock market is really quite divorced with the economy right now). And suppose the central banks say that they...

I just found this image: Source: http://www.newworldeconomics.com/archives/2010/091210.html which combined with this image: Source: http://wealthcycles.com/blog/2011/02/02/goldsilver-ratio-falls-as-silver-rises Tell me that 1) Over the last 700 years silver has not been a great hedge...

Over the last 5 years, silver went up by only 4.77%. In my opinion, it is approaching a price where it is a sensitive long-term investment. I would wait for what happens when Janet Yellen increases interest rates (or say she will soon do it). It should then drop by a few dollars. Once this...

Which means that if you bought at any time during the last four years, you lost money. So what are you going to do next? Wait to lose some more, or sell? Since the mid 1960s (50 years ago), the price of silver has gone up by 5% a year on average (even accounting for the spike during the last 8...

This might be of interest to some? From the article THREE THOUSAND YEARS OF UNSUSTAINABLE GROWTH: CHINA'S ENVIRONMENT FROM ARCHAIC TIMES TO THE PRESENT in the journal East Asian History On page 33 and 34: Clearly, though, the historical balance-sheet of tl1e pluses and minuses of...

I just read this interesting article: http://www.theguardian.com/business/2014/feb/14/australia-housing-bubble-ready-burst which says that the aging population (in Australia, Europe, most of Asia, etc.) will have a negative impact on housing prices, and in general on the economy (people who pass...
