<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 976243, member: 19065&quot;]That was nearly incomprehensible. Let&#039;s keep this simple. We are in the&nbsp; &#039;Bullion Investing&#039; section and are talking about investments in PMs not&nbsp; collectible coins. You are flip flopping between the two and it&nbsp; presents many issues to a straightforward discussion. </p><p><br /></p><p>There are a number of factors apart from pure investment in physical&nbsp; bullion that determine values, demand and growth potential when we&nbsp; discuss collectible coins. Collectible coins are (usually) a terrible&nbsp; thing to <i>invest</i> in and tend to fail most any who choose that&nbsp; route, especially if they go about it seeking easy profits. It is far easier to talk of PMs&nbsp; in the Bullion section where numismatic premiums and related issues do&nbsp; not interfere. The coin chat section of CT is better for collectible&nbsp; discussion and similarly, they do not (typically) discuss bullion there.&nbsp; Incidentally, platinum eagles have a <i>much</i> lower mintage than do gold Eagles and generally all sell out, and quickly once released.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unlike you, I have made no claims about what any commodity <i>will do</i>&nbsp; so assuming that I am &#039;deluding&#039; myself or &#039;worried&#039; about anything&nbsp; based on statements I haven&#039;t even made is faulty on your behalf. Do not&nbsp; project your ideas onto the framework of my posts in this regard. Do&nbsp; not think that any PM cannot be surpassed by another <i>thing</i>, particularly&nbsp; those things that are fundamental to life: food and water, just give it the&nbsp; right scenario. PMs will not satiate thirst nor hunger in the worst of&nbsp; the worst situations and those very things can quickly become equal to&nbsp; or even surpass the value to metals. Let us hope that never happens and&nbsp; if it does that your metals would actually be accepted by others to buy the very&nbsp; things your life would depend upon.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not telling you that platinum is wrong. Instead it&#039;s your perception of one commodity above another and your cumbersome presentation that&nbsp; is making extremely confused sounding statements, effectively working&nbsp; to confuse others and to hobble this discussion. The last paragraph is pure diatribe about platinum&nbsp; which this forum is quite aware of already. In other words, you needn&#039;t preach platinum&#039;s industrial uses to the choir. The degree of&nbsp; affection you shower on that one metal&#039;s superiority is a weak argument&nbsp; attempting to support your personal belief in one metal over others. Placing too much faith in any one investment vehicle is hazard. I&nbsp; can read through and understand the points you are addressing in the last segment of post #6, but the&nbsp; manner in which it is spewed out leaping from one thing to another makes this a dead conversation, one in which you are only talking at us. </p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly, I don&#039;t need to be convinced by <i>you</i> that <i>you</i> have made the right decision for <i>yourself</i>, but <i>you</i> seem to want others to agree with <i>you</i> to justify <i>your</i> decision and that is something only <u><i>you</i></u> can do for yourself. :smile You may do very well with your investment as you have declared it here and I sincerely hope everyone does well in their own way, but if you don&#039;t do as well as you expect to, then please do not return to blame others if <i>your</i> decision does not follow the plan you&#039;ve laid out above.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
