<p>[QUOTE=&quot;isaiah58, post: 2059604, member: 29459&quot;]I found this forum after abandoning another one that died out from trolling along with what I found to be an acceptance of anti-Semitic behavior. </p><p><br /></p><p>Not too long ago this forum appeared to be allowing a troll to manipulate the board. I got tired of seeing the uninformed threads always at the top here.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like to come here for informed opinions. I do not come here to decide when to buy or when to sell. If Ira Epstein can&#039;t figure it out.....</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as any magical method to determine how and when PM prices are going to move one way or another, no one has come up with one that works. </p><p><br /></p><p>What I do know is almost anything random things I have stored away during my life, other than precious metals, has lost almost all of its value. </p><p><br /></p><p>IMHO, silver is silver as far as a bullion aspect. I do not care if it is US coinage, mostly because as a kid I was attracted to bars and rounds. I just didn&#039;t have the right knowledge or guidance to sink my newspaper money into them or into gold back when it was really cheap in the 70&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>One thing I did kind of right was during the last run up in silver. I risked a few thousand dollars, to me that is a lot of money, when silver was breaking through the low 20&#039;s. I sold that little bit when it hit 49. I slowly buy it now, 21 max for an ASE (all inclusive) and as close to 10% over on anything else. I do pay $8 for halves, seems no matter where silver goes that number is holding up. I look for 1964 Kennedy&#039;s. Franklin&#039;s if they are in decent enough shape, sometimes a walker but most of them are worn so I decided to avoid them and be patient finding 64&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think all this re-cast sunken treasure silver is a real con. It has been recast, it was melted, it no longer holds any historical value. Otherwise someone can just claim they dug up silver from some historic site, same thing (which a lot of silver is anyways). </p><p><br /></p><p>The only fractional&#039;s that interest me is gold, because to be honest I can not afford to buy a full ounce.</p><p><br /></p><p>Seeing that many people invested in 100 ounce bars and had no problem selling them when silver was going from 30 to 49, I see no reason to own anything less than 1 ounce other than legal tender.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
