I guess I would wonder about that. I believe every single American friend, (all my Thai friends of course own gold), have gold as well. It may not...
Don't we already HAVE a method of denominating your wealth in silver, and that is called "buying silver". Sorry, I simply don't see most of the...
Maybe not, but it came from the investor himself for years. His name is known, but escapes me. At least I had always read he told the story...
Not sure I would say that. The analogy was really talking about non-traditional investors and their participation in markets. When a market gets...
Most crusties are simply corroded garbage. Most good coins come out of the ground as recognizable good coins, they just need some dirt removed....
They aren't "crusties". They are already cleaned mainly, but piles of ancient coins, unless every single one of them is perfectly cleaned, will...
Sometimes, Mat, its best just to take it off. If its really splotchy now anyway, taking it off improves the coin in my eyes. I agree the silver...
Myself? Just time. Continue in the hobby, buy what you can afford when you can, and educate yourself in the process. Over time it will be amazing...
You want to REALLY have fun? Go to a large show like CICF and go through ancient pick boxes. I went through a huge one last April, going through...
Yeah, but you saved a POS Gordian. I wouldn't have. Heck, in the CICF pick boxes I bought almost all the silver in there EXCEPT for these. I only...
Maybe I am just dense. I sell a commodity today on the CME. I get the value of today's price. Before "delivery" I buy the commodity on the CME,...
I will agree silver in particular is a weirder market, but I DO think there is hedging both buy and sell side in it. Why wouldn't producers and...
Well ok then. I guess you just know better than I. I am just a CFO who particpates in the agricultural markets, and has tens of millions at risk...
BUT, every single thing you say happens in Comex happens in every market. Every single thing you described happens in corn, cheese, cotton, etc....
I may not disagree, its just the nature of such enterprises that it always seems to shake out there is usually only room for one large firm in...
Btw Fatima, its fine if you wish to say its me. When I compare markets I compare any markets, since human nature and the way derivatives are...
So what are the differences? What makes these markets SO much different than a bond, stock, or commodity market? I was picking on commodity, (pork...
This is why the hobby was promised that "no coin shall ever be graded a perfect 70", quoted directly from TPG founders. So much for that...
I just don't know how we EVER survived without them. In fact, they still aren't in ancients and I just do not know HOW we are able to not just cut...
Eh, think 1970's finance. It was not the most efficient, and heaven forbid not everyone was allowed to borrow whatever they feel like, so you...
Separate names with a comma.
