Silver is highly volitile. Some analysts make convincing claims that it is a rigged market. I don't worry about whether the price is $12 or $18...
I think you are better off with silver than gold, but it is difficult to be dogmatic about it. Both are good. You have a good grasp of the...
I agree. The only thing I woud add is that the best time to sell anything in bulk, inlcuding silver, is when the demand is strong.

Thanks,that's the one. There's no such thing as a sure thing, but I believe others will follow this example, particularly if it begins to work....
If you think your police officer and waiter have more influence on the gold market than institutional investors making portfolio changes, then...
Cleaning is usually a bad idea. What type of coins are you talking about?
I believe this is completely wrong and misleading. Very few people own investment gold in a quantity that is even 5% of their assets. Very few...
I think that's a good idea. But keep in mind that you can spend the time studying coins in general and gold coins in particular so that when the...
Too political. Time to end this thread.
