finicky said:I really suspect I'm not fully submerged yet. Close maybe, but I never kept a running total let alone updated prices.
Reasons being I started accumulating in 2003. Relatively small amounts of silver at first but adding up. Then came the GFC when I roped my family into buying significant gold and silver close to the nadir in late 2008. I was an utterly convinced gold and silver bug back then. So that's been a good buffer - that parcel's never gone underwater.
But then I kept on accumulating and went quite mad. I was one of the patsies who kept buying right up to the top - sure it was the real breakout when the derivative market would come undone and the true price be discovered. Last chance to buy at reasonable prices! Did you notice a few big sellers with large resources who made appearances here with great deals around the top? We were so appreciative, lol - the cognoscenti. Then they evaporated. They don't appear by and large now except in one instance to emptily gloat. When they become active again they will be a fantastic sign of a top looming.
Thanks for sharing this real life experience.
