But, but, what about lead #82, 3 more electrons per nucleus than gold. There are some quantum effects working on reflectivity. https://www.webelements.com/periodicity/reflectivity/
I'm happy about silver, but happier about AAPL. I've enjoyed buying silver and gold over the past six or seven years, but good golly. I'm up about sevenfold on AAPL, and that holding is worth more than all my PMs put together -- but I'm pretty sure I'm underwater on the PMs as a whole, given all that I bought in 2011-2014. In other words, I've septupled my money in AAPL, and lost money on PMs...
It's still the electrons doing the reflection and absorption, although the protons certainly affect their behavior. Yeah, the nuclei reflect and absorb photons, too -- but only in the gamma spectrum, and I don't admire my coins under that kind of illumination. (Again with the "nuclear war" scenario...)
My FaceBook is I started buying it around 40 (wanted to buy it at 25), and stopped at 65. My normal purchasing maxes.
You mean you don't go outside at night with lead ingots hoping to catch the occasional gamma ray microburst? What is the world coming to?
You're welcome. I don't hold their stock, but I'm "all in" as a customer for their products and services.
I bought APPL starting at $4 up to about $6. Unfortunately I had to sell it around $9. I bought into again after the 7-1 split. But I sold it after a small profit.
AAPL helps them who help themselves -- today's gain nicely covered a Macbook Air and iPad Pro with Pencil that we bought for Christmas this year. But I'm still not quite ready to cash it out.
For those of you who were watching, or not watching overnight ... is the US Market READY TO RUMBLE !!
Howdy, Well the bad news is you had dreadful timing with bullion. The good news is you had multi-orgasmic timing with AAPL. Welcome to the world of investing. Take it as a lesson learned. Years ago CMS had a financial meltdown and their stock went down below $5. Alas and alack, I was a poor econ student at the time and had no $. Later in life, when I was working and had various accounts, they again had a financial meltdown and went down to around $5. I backed up the truck and loaded up. I did it with F when the industry tanked. Bought in the $2-4 range. You'll be fine. and so it goes, peace, rono
Every reason to see both silver and gold prices to make steady gains over the next few years. I'm looking at a Canadian exploration company (SA- Seabridge Gold) that's sitting on huge amounts of both metals as well as plenty of Copper (A major mining company like Barrick or Goldcorp will be interested in buying at the right price.
Ahhh .. CMS. I had friends that worked for CMS. Many employees had their retirement IN CMS stock. While it was trending down, down, down the management was telling them to buy, buy, buy. They were all devastated it was $45 at it's height, and fell down to $5. Imagine your retirement account dropping 90%. I told my friends to get out of the CMS stock as it started trending down (contrary to what their mgt was telling them). No one listened to me. Kinda sounded like an Enron without the total, final implosion. Ugh.
