[QUOTE="Blaubart, post: 2440164, member: 37498"]I think what causes some of the disagreement with the GSR is the same thing that usually does here: Dealing in absolutes and assumptions. The GSR is not the only indicator of value, or future value, and it will never have the same value as a tool to everyone. Much like people disagree about "investing" in PM based on different assumptions as to how much people are "investing" and what their goals are. Common assumptions I've noticed here in the Bullion Investing Forum: [LIST] [*]Some people assume that every time someone buys PM, they do so from a dealer where they are paying a 20%+ premium. [*]Some people assume that every time someone sells PM, they are selling it to a dealer for spot, or even less than spot. [*]Some people assume that every person's PM investing goal must be to earn a monetary profit. [*]Some people even go so far as to assume that when a person is investing in PM, they cannot possibly be investing in other investment vehicles at the same time. [*]People rarely assume that others are only investing a tiny fraction of their disposable income on PM. [*]People rarely assume that investing in PM is essentially a hobby for some people. [/LIST] and... [LIST] [*]It seems everyone outside of this forum assumes that everyone inside this forum is hoping and praying for a SHTF scenario where we can use our PM for barter. :confused: [/LIST][/QUOTE]
