    Yep, and that's why goldcollector is still clutching the silver that @Garlicus paid him for years ago.

    Howdy folks,

    We've been through this before. It's a classic example of artificial price controls. The paper price of gold and silver is below what the street price. This results either in supply shortages or premiums skyrocketing or both. We're seeing both. It's the same thing when interest rates are 2%. Try to get a mortgage near there and the banks are empty. Sorry. However, if you're willing to pay 4-5-6%, well maybe they can find some money. Nixon gas price controls.

    That said, the supply is drying up very fast the demand is absolutely freaking huge.

    Be damn careful people,

    and so it goes,

    peace,

    Well........ What I know is that I've had 3 phone calls in the last week from old friends asking me where to buy gold and silver. I know for a fact one of them was talking six figure money.

    LCS has sold out of silver. Unable to purchase from the large dealers in Dallas due to no supply.

    Be patient. There will be plenty available come summertime.

    Or...... they purchased their inventory in the $16 spot range and don't want to sell it for a loss. Their safes might actually be full. Try selling silver to them and they'll be whipping out the cash. ;)

    Sitting on inventory doesn't keep the lights on. They'll say they can't meet your price of $X because "I've got $X + Y in it myself", but once they start to get low on cash, they'll have little choice.

    Nope. A dollar a gallon has been gone since the glut of the late eighties. Our area tends to have some of the lowest fuel prices in the country, but our latest governor wants to change all of that. We've been under $2/gal here for almost forever.

    That'll be a new set of circumstances. Obviously things haven't progressed that far, yet. We're talking about todays reality.

    Sorry. "Today's reality" is a bit hard to keep up with lately...

    Don't forget they're doing you a favor by selling it as it will only go up up up

    For sure, but we're also seeing crude prices at levels that are rarely ever this low

    Oil prices this low will cause some low producing wells to be shut down when they have problems.

    I see a Walmart near Greenville, SC has it for $1.56. I'm in a little high-cost island, where most places are still above $2.20.

    Got a good deal in NY today. Paid $2.319/gallon. NY gas tax sucks.

    Be careful with ETFs as they are taxed at the collectible rate. Keep them in an tax deferred or exempt account.
