<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lucyray, post: 1030738, member: 24565&quot;]Hi Foolsgold, </p><p>It seems what you are asking is &#039;why can&#039;t they see what I see?&#039;&nbsp; or something like that.&nbsp; IMO, speaking with others about things like what to invest in is just not the thing to do.&nbsp; It&#039;s right up there (at least for me) with sex, religion, and politics.&nbsp; Goes along with not discussing what one&#039;s annual income is, or salary, or hourly wage.&nbsp; Rarely does it go well, and often there can be resentment (on either end.)&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t often serve a good purpose.&nbsp; Same thing with gold/silver investing (since this is investment we&#039;re writing about, and not collecting) - it doesn&#039;t really bode well.&nbsp; If you try to educate someone to all the reasons they might consider holding gold/silver, they are likely to be confused (a bit) and might just think you&#039;re a fruitcake.&nbsp; If I wanted to at least point someone in that direction, I suppose I would come at in a roundabout and slow way; after all there are a lot of reasons that require some thinking and ones&#039; own due diligence. We don&#039;t just wake up one day, read an article or hear someone talking about the rise in prices and then dash out and purchase..&nbsp; Here on this board, bullion investing, it&#039;s a common conversation with relatively like-minded people.&nbsp; But in my world, I honestly DO NOT know anyone else who holds pm&#039;s as an investment vehicle.&nbsp; AND were I to meet someone who was talking about the metals they owned, most likely I would keep my mouth SHUT about my own, and just listen.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line, no.&nbsp; Most likely your friends and neighbors, and my friends and neighbors are not going to change their investment strategies (if they even have any) because of something you or I tried to tell them.&nbsp; You COULD have a chance with your best friend, maybe.&nbsp; Just because friends MIGHT listen long enough to actually get the message.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lucy&nbsp; (Strictly just my opinion)&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
