<p>[QUOTE="gxseries, post: 373292, member: 4373"]What frustrates me is that is this a numismatic forum, not a metal price forum. Discussing about coin prices going up and down trend, sure that's not a problem. Bullion coins? Sure, it's usually bullion price+ some premium. Relationship between bullion prices and general coin prices - makes sense. </p><p><br /></p><p>Point is, bullion prices are highly violate and it can be very dangerous to "educate" those who think they know what prices are all about. Even I'm afraid to say what tomorrow's prices are supposed to be at. What ****es me off to no end is what people think future price in a few year's times should be at (and usually in an upward trend) and therefore is good to invest. Hello?</p><p><br /></p><p>There can be serious misunderstanding of how forums are misused as "informational" purposes and when the day someone claims that they bought a certain amount of precious metals that was supposed to go up and didn't and sues - are you going to add a disclaimer then? Too late then. This forum has been threatened to be sued before in the past as a seller claimed that his reputation was ruined by a post here. Apparently yes, you can be sued for bizarre reasons. Even market analysts spend good amount of time and resource to track what is happening in the market and I strongly believe this is NOT the place to discuss bullion prices. It's always good to profit when times come but when you don't, you don't want to be held reliable for your misinformation. </p><p><br /></p><p>On the other hand, coins are a different story. You have a fixed set of mintage on coins which you can collect data on and make historical graphs on it. Try that on metal prices on daily tonnages, industrial usage, investment stockpile, recycling, political factors, exchanging rate, mining operational costs, government policies, etc. Not a funny business. Too many factors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
