I was speaking to a boat dealer last week who said around Easter they started getting a lot of phone enquires from those stuck at home. They figured a lot of tyre kickers. Next thing the deposits started rolling in. They are now inundated with orders. I said how that surprised me to which he responded, "People are positive about the future and know that it will get better. Remember, whilst some lost their jobs most people did not. Apart from being in lockdown working life did not change for many".

Is the positivity misplaced? I don't know. It is good that people are in a positive frame of mind and whilst life has not changed for some for others it has been life changing. I admit that I fear what the near future has ready for us economically as a country.

Does your boat dealer come across a lot of precious metals buyers needing to replace boats?

It's always good to hear your points of view Jester; best of luck with whatever you decide.
Those dividends will be interesting, especially over the next few years.
For me, I'll be watching and learning. :D I'm addicted to Lunars and Roos mate so I hope they don't go Side-Ways.;):)

the dividends they may dip in the short term but it will be back to normal soonish I feel

silver has less upside AND does not pay a dividend AND never will AND you need to actually store it. I ahve 6 or so KG of silver in a box somewhere collecting dust and I wish I had that cash in hand in the share market as its cost me literally thousands in lost opportunity costs.

markets are closed today but on Tuesday I feel we will be in for another good day as the Dow in the USA wen up 3% on Friday their tiem.

Im 33% up on qantas 37% on OOO banks between 13-19%

im down slightly on Woolies but its meh.

If you think the CBA for example is going to go belly up and cold turkey not pay a divident anymore than I have a bridge ou may be interested in swap that silver for cold hard steel.

Pretty sure the consensus even amongst PM bugs is still 10% portfolio in gold/silver as hedge. More if you're a market fatalist and helps you sleep.
I've encountered extreme negligence from traders and investors in all investment formats.
Given above, it seems a bit odd to take out your opportunity cost frustration on a precious metal enthusiast forum to the point of being aggressive and coming across pathologically damaged by it.

not frustrated I ahve been pretty anti silver for a while now <---------------------SIDEWAYS-------------------------> and for the last few years silver has been absolute rubbish as an investment

you could have thrown a dart at a board of stocks and done better than silver most likely

Every single asset class over the last few yesars has left silver in its dust -- its not even close every single one.

I probably could have literally invested in sun dried dog turds and done better

6 KG or so of silver in a box some where collecting dust.
So why not sell it Jester.
Even at a loss from your purchases back in 2012, perhaps you could cover the cap loss by buying shares.
No point letting it sit there mate.

Just one mote on the silver; I think I've suggested this before, so if so, my bad.

Just as you have selected your high yielding dividend stocks that also had a nice paper cap gain, perhaps not all silver is
what it seems.
Precious metal is a bit like the stock market, but a bloke has to study what to buy and when if he wants to flip either short term or long term.
As with your portfolio of shares, some will do ok, some you'll wish you had sold and purchased other stock; same goes for silver.
So, perhaps generalizing that silver is shit may reflect some misjudgement as to how to approach the metals markets.
Like you have decided that your share portfolio is for dividends, that's a fine approach but others would find your trading strategy
different to theirs because some folk buy only for the gain, they don't care about dividends.
Just like some folk who hold silver bars, but they didn't have the knowledge or interest to diversify into silver coins or perhaps collector bars.
Just recently, March was a great time to buy Silver Roos, infact a box of roos cost $6227.50, now that box costs $7610.
If you work the math % you'll see that's not a bad profit, but better still, a precious metals investor has a box of 9999 silver in the vault.
But there's numerous examples for stocks and coins, some do well, some are dogs but not all are shit.

Anyway, best to you with your stocks, enjoy watching them everyday, enjoy the paper gains and the dividend yield and best
to you if you do better than the precious metal investors.

And if I ever need to be reminded how much stupid profits can be made in silver coins I just read this thread... always a good one to revisit once a year. My dream in the next silver bull market would be for this to play out for most precious metal items hitting mainstream and not just dragons:

Silver is shit and you you are 100% incorrect

here is why

As soon as you start looking at the premimum or the value of how a coin has appreciated in over and above the underlying metal value this is the COLLECTORS market and NOT the METALS market

you are a coin collector at that point not a PM investor and they are very different markets. Collectors markets can be very irrational, The price of the metal just give a backstop to the lowest value that it could go.

and your example of a box of roos is meh as well You are cherry picking examples Silver like all assets droped in value recently some more than others there are some shares you could have bought where you could have more than doubled your money over the last month(ish) far above the cherry picked gains the silver market could have had over that same period

also I will get dividends and wont have to pay for storage something you wont get with that silver in a valut

Well I can't speak for the rest of the economy, but new home construction!!... Boom!

I've just been going through our system trying to gauge the impact. Best I can calculate is that our sales team booked more initial appointments in one weekend than we'd normally see over two months ( during the good times ).

Never seen anything like this, and I've been in this industry for 15+ years.

Of course I suspect there will be one hell of a cliff after New years.... Lol
