re: Should I sell my 301 share of Exxon?

Posted by Slima on 7/8/20 at 7:16 pm
301 XOM brings $262 in dividends quarterly. Re-invest them & keep it for a long Hold. That’s better than any interest rate you’ll find as long as they keep paying the dividend I don’t see any way that this can’t be a win. Low risk, safe returns, now explosive growth but keep it slow & ste...

But an ounce of physical Platinum bullion. It’s shiny. It’s an industrial metal in demand. It’s an investment precious metal in a good position. Nearly effortless to sell at any local coin shop. Worst case scenario - hand it to a jeweler to make you a ring. https://www.apmex.com/product/1...
