[QUOTE="Del Pinto, post: 2077265, member: 73128"]Generally speaking and not directed at anyone in particular: As most people don't understand the difference between "guilt" and "shame," fewer still will understand the difference between "investing" and "speculating." Rude to say maybe (the truth hurts!) but most coin collectors paying +50% premiums and who imagine they're "bullion investing" are simply delusional. I have nothing against someone blowing their life savings on whatever (hobby, trip to Vegas, etc) but please take a moment to consider how this "investment" played out over time.
