So, how's that preservation of buying power going for you?

Read my previous post (#38).

Either you understand it or not.

If you do, congratulations, the world is your oyster.

If you don't, don't worry about it.

(most people don't)

I read it & understand & the world is already my oyster but it doesnt make a flyshit of difference that youve lost purchasing power & net worth lately with your metals . Im not sure your comprehension skills are too sharp if you cant admit it

Like I said, don't worry about it.

Keep pricing things in $ (good luck with that)

and I'll keep pricing in oz.

I see that most people here want to use hard assets to get more cash.

I'm interested in using cash to get more hard assets.

Gold is rare. Cash is not.

I don't get it?

If you were looking at a new car, a little while ago when spot was higher, you'd need 666 ounces to buy it. Now you'd need 800 ounces to buy it.
 
dude, everything goes up and down.

I put my net worth in metals in 2003.

calculate that.

sure, it's down on paper 7% yesterday.

then up 20% next month, or the next?

Or maybe down another 20%

who cares.

What counts is what you can buy WHEN YOU SELL your silver.

You need to know what time it is (in the very big picture).

All assets are not equals (cash is an asset btw), no matter what the price is at any given moment.

Cash is a transactional device, not a valuation tool.

They got you fooled.

Cash is trash.

If you don't see that, you'll know soon enough.

Families that are wealthy over generations do not hold their wealth in cash.

John Paulson has lost $300m over the last few days due to golds drop, now that's something worth complaining about.

(With a net worth of $11bn+ I'm sure he's not too bothered)

Is that a drop in the nominal value of the Gold Fund, or through redemptions?

Nominal value according to the girls over at Bloomberg

ok, so he didn't lose anything.

The value in USD went down.

I'm sure he's not worried, he knows from the inside what's coming down the pipe...

Also, Soros has been selling his GLD and buying physical instead.

Im sure they have some cash along with real estate ,artwork ,antiques & bullion etc etc not just metals

The problem i have with you is metals seems to be the only thing in your portfolio. Any wise investor has a diversified portfolio .Your one eyed approach leaves a bit to be desired imo If it crashes & burns so do you . A wise investor would never put themselves in that position

hey I've got many income streams, but this ain't a business forum, this is about metals. maybe I'll teach you about it one day.

maybe you'll teach me about it ? hahahaha :lol: no thanks i'l be fine

I think your all smoke & mirrors with no real plan.

I agree with some of what you say i know the crash is coming. Will your income stream survive those times is the question you need to be asking yourself If you really have a plan for when things turn pear shaped feel free to share them for the benefit of the other members . If you think your teaching skills are up to scratch :p:

I was talking to the other paper bug, not you :D
 
Amazing how personal some people need to be towards each other. As if you're personally offended that someone has a difference of opinion. Yet every time one person sells silver to another it works because there is a difference of opinion, one wants out one wants in.

Jealousy is personal, my comments aren't intended to be personal.

That's just how I see silver, paper gains, paper losses and empty pockets. A speculation purely on price.

If you went all in 2003 then you've done very nicely. Well done.

I thought about it at the time but ended up putting it in to alcohol instead.
