[QUOTE="ilmcoins, post: 3405131, member: 85172"]Can I point out the flaw in your argument? You are basing your values off buying from a national dealer and selling back to them. Of course there is going to be a spread with that ... i.e. Profit. Their profit could very well vary across different PMs and will impact your ROI. If you are truly "investing" in PMs, buy them at spot or less. There are a variety of places to do that including here. Then you dont automatically take a loss on your purchase. I always buy PMs under spot and sometimes will quickly flip them (under spot as well). If you track the For Sale section on CT you have probably seen me do that 10 times in the past year and that included nice graded pre1933 gold. I guess my point is that you can be more resourceful in your buying. Instead of tracking the daily spot price and the margins of the big boys look for opportunities to buy right regardless if it is 90% or bars. There is a saying in real estate "you make your money when you buy".[/QUOTE]
