I understand your sentiment sir, but were you buying silver when it went down to $10? Lots of people saying the exact same thing. Some dealers...
No one should be worthy while they are alive. Not ever. Too much like having a King or Emperor on our coinage, which is the basis which we...
I would be sorely tempted to buy a nice EF ancient Greek tetradrachm. Nice big silver coin with a picture of Alexander the Great dressed as...
Please be careful when predicting a "physical market divurgence". I have been around dips before, many actually, and I could have told you that...
Very true. I will look long and hard at an acquiring company since many times its a poor decision being made. I have sold stock based on...
