I guess I would ask what do you want? Do you want to work on a US type set, broaden your horizons, buy something with a lot of history, something...
Good point Phil. I have European friends and they save a much larger percent of their income than even I do, and I think I am conservative. They...
Well, 10 years ago I would have said it hurt its value 5-10% over a blazing white example. Idk about today.
Lone wolves don't survive long, it is the pack that survives, right Cloud?
Heck yeah. Even stuff still higher than silver value, but closer to it, are rising with everyone's mad dash to silver now. I am still buying...
Guy, your basis will be what you had in them. The complicating factor is that they were gifts. Since I doubt you paid taxes on the value of the...
Good points Jim. My fear, (or at least worry regarding silver prices), is that the politicians will finally show some political courage and tackle...

Sounds stupid I know, but the US dollar does indeed gain strength in times of troubles. It happens so regularly I am sure many people make a large...
....but the video only works if the gold is valued OUTSIDE of that area. If the whole world is in economic collapse, there IS no outsiders to pay...
Well first, don't trust a firm for tax advise. They will do what THEY are required, not is what is required of you. Two things, I would argue with...
I would say you should run it past your tax person. There is a limit under which no quarterly filing is required.
I have never understood the logic of people investing in PM for doomsday scenarios. PM investment makes sense as a hedge to inflation or...
The first design was used for Byzantine, Bulgaria, Venice, and others. I would guess Venice off hand, without getting the books out, especially...
Only reason it is expensive is world growth and construction. Have a major recession in China and India and see how darn fast copper comes down....
The only caveat I would add would be that a lot of PM is ancillary production, basically a byproduct of copper or other mining. This silver is...
