Message:: [QUOTE="bhp3rd, post: 822189, member: 16510"]This of course perfect and true - this also is applicable to most (if not all)TPG modern coins, AMSE and silver bullion.It's a funny thing to me but when gold and silver are way up as they were awhile back you could not get a word in here edgewise about it.  What's funny you ask?  The fact that the opposite should hold true.  When gold and silver are down and getting hammered is when people should be talking about it.  That's when and where the buying opertunity is exciting and real.I've said it before and I'll say it again, "you don't make your money selling, holding, waiting, talking or dreaming - you make it when buying"!!! There are many different rides at this park called "coins"  "the one I do not ride is bullion"!  With true nice original collector coins you always have something that will be sought after and remain somewhat stable.  With gold and silver you got such a thin margin and so many forces out of your control.  That plus it's so high in price to begin with it ties up your money.  In fact from an investing viewpoint that's about the only thing it is certain to do most of the time, "tie up your money"!Sure there is people who hit it right and make money but the majority will lose, (or at least not gain) in the long haul.If you are holding gold at $1150 or more the chances are very real you will lose as much as $400 easily - that is very likely.  It's moderately likely you could lose as much as $550 and it's even possible you could lose will lose $700!  Laugh all you want but I've seen it, it's real!  I've seen, bought and sold it at $280 not 8 years past.[/QUOTE]
