Hey so whats Bman up to these days? Still half dollar searching? Are you married yet? Still not smoking ?
Haven't heard much out of B-man lately, but he must be getting the silver bug back if he is lurking around....he was on hold for awhile..
habits are hard to break. I was buying ASEs as I got twitchy last fall. I stopped it and sold them at a good high spot. Used the cash to actually make money and buy the 2019 USMint Apollo coins.
twitchy, itchy. They do make powder to stop it. Details Natural minerals like kaolin, calcium carbonate, and zinc oxide help purify pores and reduce stubborn blackheads. Excess oil, buildup, and pore-clogging impurities are drawn out, revealing visibly clearer, healthier-looking skin. For those with the Silver round, bars, ASEs this skin care stops the buying itch, it reduces the brain swelling related to uncontrollable purchases. (NOTE: liberty added to modify the detail description of the item) lol
I would like silver and gold one uh Thats a bad bad song He carried a side arm in public, I might get banned!!!
Interesting short article reading .... back in 1991 I worked for Life of Virginia ( company long gone .. merged, sold, sold, etc). Life/Health individual & group insurance and stocks. But I bought a whole life ins policy back then for myself in case I die ; so that I have the money to cover my death expenses and I could bury myself. Anyways ... about 10 years ago I noticed that the monthly interest was more than the monthly premium. Hmm ... free insurance for the rest of my life. anyways .... https://www.marketwatch.com/story/is-life-insurance-a-good-investment-2019-02-11 It's not silver and gold ... but something that pays for itself ain't too bad .. all depending upon the terms, etc etc. And of course, it took 18 years for the cash value to build up for the interest paid amount to get that high. at least I didn't die in the interim ...
No our parents bought all of us boys 10 grande of life from state farm when we were kids late 60's probably. Mine seems to me turned into a dif deal when I hit 25ish. But I have elected to buy paid up dividends. I sure the heck wont retire off it, LOL I guess I get about double a year back from premium now.
One of "them" paper investments that we can't see nor touch, but it's there. Back then when I got mine I was trying to build up a tube of 1oz AGEs.
on another note hold on to your Silver and Gold in China companies debt bonds are defaulting; the highest on record this past year. here's a public site info: https://www.caixinglobal.com/2019-0...are-said-to-miss-bond-payments-101378392.html you may be familiar in the last 10 years of hearing about a Chinese companies buying a company or buildings here or there. They're been trying to divest these purchases and bring back the cash/yuan back to the coffers in recent years. Even the citizens were told to buy stock/debt/ credit cards ... which they have. Now many were defaulting /bankruptcy. Add to that, which I've been watching, is US corps profits starting to dry up. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/s...as-profits-dry-up-warns-strategist-2019-02-11 the big tax break was great ... but with everything else has risen prices, which has reduced sales & reduced profits. But now many companies are going to be pushing higher logistic/raw material cost to the consumer. And basic rising retail prices will slide sales absent of equivalent or higher rise in income. Of course, there's been a lot of hub-bub about tax returns so far not living up to expectations too ... So PMs might be rising after the US Dollar Index stalls a bit .... It's shown some divergence lately from the US Dollar index to larger global issues ... so ... we'll see ...
here's some cool things about Roth accounts that I never thought of .. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/t...ish-wed-built-for-early-retirement-2018-07-18 silver was looking up, but put the brakes on. doing my taxes .. have to wait until Feb 28th for one of my brokerages to provide documentation .... ugh .. more waiting.
