<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SilverSurfer, post: 803277, member: 21603&quot;]A few things here to consider.&nbsp; Buying at 16....sell at 18?&nbsp; I&#039;m guessing you mean spot price.&nbsp; So, spot is $16, and you go to buy.&nbsp; And when you get to the coin shop you find out that the dealer wants $2.5 over spot to sell.&nbsp; So, you buy ASE for $18.50.&nbsp; Then, the spot hits $18, and you go to sell.&nbsp; And you find that same dealer is only buying for $1 less than spot for ASE.&nbsp; So, you sell for $17.&nbsp; You just lost $1.50, even though you bought at a lower spot price and sold at a higher one.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, you get fed up and notice that the spread is less on line at a national dealer.&nbsp; So, you buy when silver is at $16, and pay a $3 shipping charge to get it.&nbsp; You paid $19, to get a ASE.&nbsp; Now you wait till the price gets to $18, and decide to sell.&nbsp; Who&#039;s paying the shipping charge?&nbsp; Again?&nbsp; Forget it...you decided to sell to a local dealer to save the shipping charge, but find out that he is only buying for $1 less than spot.&nbsp; You sell for $17 and are out $2.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The point being, unless you are an inside trader, you aren&#039;t going to make quick money on bullion investing.&nbsp; You need to buy when the price is down, yes.&nbsp; But, you also need a substantial price increase before you sell, to compensate for the premium or shipping charge that you paid.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
