Investing super in PMs - the irony! (Plus follow-up question.)

I'm buying liquid sort gold coins, as close to spot as possible.
Bought a decent rooster (20 francs) last week for 1.7% over spot and 4 QEII sovereigns for 2.5% over spot; as well as 2 Young Vic shields in VF but I paid 10% over spot for those.
It's slow going, though.

I think @mongrelmaple has a good strategy with the cast gold blobs. (BTW Just a year or two back PM was selling the 1oz blobs for $20 over spot, now they've upped it a notch to $25 - I suppose it's proportional and fairish due to the hike in gold price.)
I wish I had bought more of those back in the day for a "foundation" stack - easy to liquidate and no "emotional strings" attached.

Yeah, gotta love the blobs and bars. Nothing worse than ending up with a batch of Canadian Maples that someone has splashed with milk.

So what would you be doing and why?
Staying in cash?
Going to stocks?

You didn't answer the question.

Also, this is NOT advice. It's simply your opinion.

That is my opinion, its a shit house time tobe buying silver right now, i also outlined my reason for my opinion in the next post.
I always Hold cash untill I see an opening to buy, imo its better doing that, than just buying when ever you get the cash and not taking into account what is going on with the market.

Are you saying that due to the current price of gold or because of the premiums being charged

im Talking Silver because of the premiums being charged insanely over spot for something like a generic cast bar.
thise premiums wont last forever, so its a low chance you will be able to resell them with the same or simular premiums in the future.

The gold premiums dont seem tobe in the same level of insanity as silver, so likely a better buy, im a silver guy but gold is more attractive right now

Like I said, doesn't answer the question.

Like I said previously @Krakked789, dont take to much notice of some of the self taught experts on here, who
say you should have left your money in superannuation and not spent it on silver.
Just leave in there and dont worry about it, in a couple of years, (or maybe a lot sooner) you will be glad you did.
I spent $5k about a month ago on silver as well, as I am underrepresented in silver when compared to gold.
Glad I did, should have purchased a lot more the way that silver is going up past US$20 now.

There will come a time when the paper manipulation will stop, and silver and gold will go on a tear while the share markets crash.
We will then see how smart the cash and shares pumpers are when they cant buy any silver for their fiat dollars, as all the precious metals
will be sold out within a few days, and those holding will not be selling to the morons who did not prepare.

It's OK - I'm fine! Like I said, I wasn't looking for advice. This was meant to be a discussion amongst EQUALS - an exchange of ideas - not a request for assistance. I really feel like some people here just jumped to conclusions about what I was saying in my post.

"Oh, here's another newbie crying out for help with what to do..." (Look at my join date!) Then come all the cliched responses. I've been in the markets for years and have done very well out of it.

I have a theory that the stock markets may not crash the way many people think. (In fact, in a way they have already crashed and the powers-that-be have made off with massive profits via short-selling, then going long.) Dow Jones to 100,000; 200,000 while your average citizen may find it hard to make ends meet. The figures will be almost irrelevant, especially if the currencies tank and we get hyperinflation. (The latter may in fact be the reason for such high stock numbers.)

Will the paper manipulation ever end? Who knows. It's looking like the PMs are exploding right now - especially silver. I do think the physical price could divorce radically from the paper price. I also tend to think that the price will explode in tandem with the stock markets.

Just my thoughts.

Hey if you think the premiums are good right now on silver,ill happily sell you $10k worth. I dont mind taking a fools super money.
Its only a fraction of my stack anyway.
Didnt have to raid my super to buy any of it lol.


You ask for opinions then get upset when some one offers a different one from you.

But i dont think you were after opinions, if your being honest you were just hoping for community reassurance you are doing the right thing.
