Silver dropped over 5% this morning. Interesting considering what is going on with Greece and China. I would have expected it to make a jump.
Time to buy? |

Along with everything else. WTI, Gold, Corn, all the commodities are getting hit.

Silver is closely tied to our economy, the better we are doing, the lower silver will go. Which also means, when the rest of the world is taking a dive, precious metals follow them. It's always a good time to buy, our economy will tank again some day and you will make a nice profit!

Who has the lowest spot? View Quote If you take free shipping into account... a good bet for price would be a 10 ounce bar from Provident metal. Provident Bar Right now its 165.20 for 10 ounces... so 16.52/ounce to your door. I am not an expert and I don't know the cheapest/best way to get silver. |

Ok, bear with me here because I have never understood the precious metals thing If the economy tanked, and SHTF how would having silver or gold allow you to feed your family? Trading gold or silver bars for bread? |

As far as how it works, I am not an economist, but there is a direct correlation to the dollar tanking and silver/gold taking huge jumps in value. |

Let's say I buy 100 ounces today for $1500 and silver jumps to $50 an ounce next year. Who is going to buy my silver? |

Katrina or other event where the lights go out for a few weeks, CC are no good but paper cash on hand is fine Soviet style collapse of government, gold and silver would give currency when paper money is worthless Global zombie epidemic or Book of Eli scenario, and yeah precious metals won't be worth much. However, they will still be the first commodities to regain value as society stabilizes just as they have since the dawn of time. |

Trading gold or silver bars for bread? View Quote This is for investments. I've been itching to get back in, and this may be a nice start. Selling small quantities at gun shows always does well. Especially those limited quantity, limited time offer silver rounds, patriotic motif's, etc. |

I'm so glad I did not listen to you guys and buy precious metals
I would have lost my ass Instead, I made a very nice profit in the stock market |

Along with everything else. WTI, Gold, Corn, all the commodities are getting hit. Why? this seems odd. China's growth is slowing, so they're buying less oil, so oil is dropping further. Cheaper oil means middle east and Russia have less money to buy commodities. Europe getting ready to shit or get off the pot with Greece. If they shit, the other debtor nations will immediately demand debt relief as well, which will fuck European bond market. If they get off the pot, Greece will tank, and it always impacts commodities when a western nation shits the bed. That being said, bought my last silver when it dropped to 20, not buying more until it hits 12. Maybe 14. Which I expect it to. |

I dont really think the local coin shop is interested in buying 1000 ounces of silver as it starts to go nuts. Even if they were troy ounce silver rounds. Other than investing in futures and holding out long term, in the end I just dont see it being as liquid. Would like to see someone with experience in buying low and selling high actually weigh in on the issue of selling a large quantity of held silver. |

Meh, could care less about the price, did take a dip as I ordered my monthly allotment which was nice.

Let's say I buy 100 ounces today for $1500 and silver jumps to $50 an ounce next year. Who is going to buy my silver? The same people that bought it for $50 in 2011. It goes up that much because bad shit is happening in the economy or there is something else driving demand. At that point there are just as many people who will buy just below spot price as there were when it was going for $15. That is why there is so much excitement for what is now a 6% drop today. Historically its a good price but a few years from now it could be $12 an ounce or it could be $30 an ounce. Its a gamble and I am betting that the price will increase. It seems weird that anyone would buy at lets say $1 below spot when its at an all time high of $50 but nobody can tell the future. There were talks at that time that it could continue to go through the roof and if you are a company dealing in high volumes and turnover there is money to be made by buying under spot all the time. |
