Your core position...

so times are a changing i hear. well to the young fellas thats doing so well in their youth stacking. well done. however core preservation is just as important as the core. you are only young once,drink a bit party a bit backpack the world. have some fun before you settledown with your better half. see a lot of guys get their head down and arse up and want things without quite understanding the basics. you got to get your self some fun and find yourself. once you know your own mettle then you can seek a life partner to share it. but unlike a bad buy a bad partner can cost a lot more and you cant just sell it. so you need to become experienced enough to be able to choose a good partner that you can stay with for life. this may take a while and several test rides. would not like to see you get taken for the house and the silverware as well as a loved stack 15 or so years later and then get maintenance to boot.

then we get to the core. it will come and grow to suit you, they are individually sized to suit. and as in the first post whats the deal if you leave it behind or dont spend it. if you never need to use the core you have then had a succesful life, just like the houses and done up old cars, they are all staying here.

so if you pick your partner in the stack with care, you wont then be a grumpy arse complaining about life and being old and crochety and more than likely getting a young import that will give you even more headaches than the first. so live a little, choose carefully and see it through.

thoughts on this core thread should be treated carefully because if you come to me in twenty years and complain about this post i wont be around. :) enjoy your life, live it to your core. :)


Awesome.

Salaries should start at $150,000 and reverse, really. Younger people have the capacity to enjoy life and older people are quite happy with their Dr Phil and getting outraged @ A Current Affair after dinner. Or they are just too burnt out because of the harsh life they've lived, so cruel.

Should? By who?

Feel free to offer those salaries - I am sure you'll get a lot of applicants ;)

I'm not even sure what this has to do with this subject.

And, I don't know which older people you associate with, but today I was down at the river's edge and 3 over 65's hauled in their kayaks next to us - one a lady who had just done her personal best distance of an 18km round trip. They all looked pretty pleased with themselves.

...... (edit) You know I just mentioned this because I thought they were having fun and I wanted to dispell a myth or two, not because I am droning on about the hardships of the ''older days or older people''. I was impressed and thought I'd share. That lady was really proud of herself. ..... (edit)

They may very well go home and watch Dr Phil and even A Current Affair, but if you think that you turn 30 and suddenly forget how to enjoy life I suggest a review.

On the salary matter I would suggest that older people know how to enjoy life without needing $150 000 salary to figure out how. What would the bottom of the scale be - a few hundred dollars for the some dry bread, water and the TV that will satisfy every older person's need for social and intellectual stimulation - because everyone is tarred with the same brush.

18km?


When I was a child we had to swim 18km to our kayaks before we paddled to school through snow

Ahhh luxury!

We had to sleep in paper bag in middle road. Mother would slash us awake with broken bottle, and we had to lick road clean with tongue!

Try telling that to the young people today and they'll never believe you! :rolleyes:

Never knew that pre-dated Python. Guess I am still young after all ... thought I did recognize Tim and Marty ...


Your link is Python on stage. My link is the original Python on TV :P

I've always used the stage clip as a quote but this time I thought I'd go black and white. That's why you beat me ;)

Edit in original.
 
Yeah and not even "Python" as such - the YouTube description claimed it predates the Python series ... Nice one, thanks for posting, haven't seen that in years!
 
I used to listen to Python records as well as watch the shows. My dad had a copy of a "The Frost Report" album. This was the origin of Python. David Frost is more known for interviewing famous people but in the mid 60s he fostered some of the best comic minds and ideas Ive seen. Dont know if the record is still around, not that I have anything to play it on! :)
 
TLDR version: "When I was your age, we had to hike 7 miles through a foot of snow and ice to get to school each day. Then go home and chop half a tonne of firewood before bed." Seriously.....

So for some random reason I thought of this forum today and wondered when my last post was. Turns out it was the 12th of March 2012, when silver was $32 AUD. Today we are at $55 and change. If you had asked me (or any on this forum back in 2012), i think the $55 target would be quite soft by 2025. Given we are on verge of breakout again, is it different this time? I find it hard to get too caught up in the 'euphoria' of it all having been through it.

I do recall meeting a few members from here for some swaps in years gone by. In particular swapping 1oz of gold for 33oz of silver. Right at the peak of silver looking at charts now. That particular gentleman clearly got the better end of that deal...

But also wanted to deliver good news, I never sold an oz, and while I haven't added to the stack in that time, for the most part I still have what I had back in 2012.

Do silver stackers love silver porn in 2025 as much as they did in 2012? Has the membership changed? Anyone still active from that time?

Edit, ive just seen the price prediction in my signature.... Think i was off on both counts.. but at least we have surpassed the gold target a decade later. Silver is still the poor cousin :(
