<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 26743072, member: 13650&quot;]It all depends on how you want to feel about it.&nbsp; I know how I felt when silver briefly hit $120 and was wondering if it was going to keep going.&nbsp; &nbsp; I&#039;ve thought for quite a while that the $20-$30 level in comparison to anything else in life over same time period seemed completely unrealistic.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; There are active efforts to try to keep the price suppressed to what it is.&nbsp; I now look at it as any ounce I can get under $100 is a gift.&nbsp; I had points on my Apmex card and bought a 2026 Kookabura for $68 shipped.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; I paid the new exorbitant price for a couple ASEs.&nbsp; They sold out immediately and already sell for more on the secondary market but not interested in selling.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Often at the US Mint, collector ASEs have been 3x spot.&nbsp; &nbsp; If they continued with that tradition, they could be charging $255 for one collector ASE if they wanted to now.&nbsp;&nbsp; That would match past precedent and we may see that soon.&nbsp; &nbsp; 2021-2025 were gift years.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Selling to dealers, spot is all that matters but selling to the public, spot is meaningless.&nbsp; People pay way over for everything.&nbsp; I see it every day. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ve accepted the past is the past and current economic policy will only breed higher inflation as time goes on.&nbsp;&nbsp; This keeps playing out and all people do is complain about the new prices in comparison to what they used to be instead of taking advantage of the moment.&nbsp;&nbsp; Real investment in PMs hasn&#039;t even scratched the surface in this country.&nbsp; &nbsp; If mass amounts of people wasting money on crypto, pokemon cards, handbags, shoes or whatever other BS is out there, ever figure it out, a 1% increase in demand would clear the stores out of available physical immediately.&nbsp;&nbsp; Hopefully everybody stays diluted and distracted by nonsense so we can buy more.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; EDIT TO ADD:&nbsp; I still have silver in my collection that was acquired at under $5/oz.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
