Isn't that the truth. :) The closest I have ever come to a low or a high was buying silver for around $4 an ounce. That was simply blind luck...
Over the long term I agree with this. However, my investment goals are not preservation of wealth, but increase in wealth. Simply put,...
Hey, I collect coins most here would not even know what they were, and would think are ugly as sin. I am never one to say to not collect what...
Why are you buying? That will answer your question. Did you wish to buy junk silver as a silver investment? THen I would still buy bullion unless...
Heck, there are very nice ancients worth collecting in the $10 range. Hang around here, read past post, visit Doug Smith's website, and educate...

I was responding to your assertion that almost all corporate books are cooked. I, for one, am personally responsible for the books of a...
Just last week I had a chance to buy a two headed cast Sogdian coin of Tarnach. I didn't since I just didn't see it as a big deal. Its pretty easy...

Tough coins. I don't have one yet but its on my bucket list. Quick background. Many places report that they were made from "electrum, a...
I am sorry sir, but I am the CFO of a multi hundred million dollar corporation, and some of my friends are also. One man that I consider a friend...
