<p>[QUOTE="moneycostingmemoney, post: 2805339, member: 86367"]The mention of the premiums is a valid argument, but if you buy enough at one time the seller should be open for negotiation. If not, they're not the only ones selling the stuff. </p><p>Each metal moves for different reasons, the least drastic (imho) being industrial need. That may help gauge long-term, but even figuring that out will require a well cleaned and calibrated crystal ball. I guess the best thing as far as Au vs Ag is just pick one and study it. I don't think it's safe to assume that they are a lateral choice. Learn one and if you don't feel good about it go to the next. "Do one thing and do it well."</p><p>As far as using a safe deposit box at a bank...if you took what you are paying for something you can only access during their business hours, and are in public bringing a heavy bag in and leaving light, over the time you use it you'd probably just be better off (over all) spending the money on a large (1600-2000lb, empty) safe and have it delivered. Once it's in place it doesn't matter if it's empty or not it ain't going nowhere. Paired with a dog and a gun you'll be more than good to go. </p><p>Also, it's smart to photocopy your drivers license and add your phone number and email to it with something along the lines of "This safe and all contents are sole legal possessions of x. If opened for anyone other than, please contact myself at x and x and the police. All costs for opening will be paid after myself and the authorities are notified." This is good for safes of all sizes because ETHICAL locksmiths will see it, and if it's not that person having it opened the door gets shut and locked and the police are called. It's the cops job to determine valid power of attorney or inheritance. We've had to do it a few times. But I will admit that my opinion is biased since that is my industry and that's how my gears turn- toward safe self sufficiency.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
