re: Silver Bugs thread: Silver up 12% for the week on Black Friday started the journey

Is it rare for the premiums on eagles to be as low as they currently are? I’m seeing as low as 6% over spot. For someone like me with a very modest physical stack it feels like a decent time to grab some.
Any general market thoughts?

In general, a 6% premium is a little on the high side for silver bullion, but ASE’s do not incur capital gains taxes upon sale. This exemption is unique to ASE’s though, so some people believe paying a higher premium for them is alright.
Personally, I try to avoid minted coin premiums above 3% … but that is becoming more challenging now that silver is selling to a broader retail audience … harder to find deals.
I picked up 5 rolls of mercury dimes slightly below melt last week ….at a safe deposit box contents auction … the only lot I won out of 5 bids. Looking forward to inspecting those in the near term.

Last time crypto plunged the PMs went on a heater.
This time they are both crashing together. All signs indicate pain up ahead.

I am so confused about the economy and liquidity right now. I work in trucking and rates are booming. We’ve been in a 3 year freight recession. Also, the manufacturing indices are similarly strong. Tech capex is otherworldly.
Then you see commodities/PMs struggling and bitcoin has been getting hammered.
I can’t square it.

$ODFL is an absolute unit.
Almost no one looks into logistics companies

ZIM used to be a popular MT topic, and one of the few I regret skipping.

Any suggestions for the best date to buy a silver bar given this volatility? I was looking for something fun like a Star Wars bar for a birthday in August….two days later it was $80 cheaper. Now I’m kinda hoping silver will be $60/oz June 30, and Vader will be $625…

Just go to Vegas. Or just buy the thing. Trying to tone the silver market is a crap shoot.

Timing the silver market is a fool’s errand

My first traunch of GDX triggered a buy at $74.50 earlier today
My first traunch of PHYS triggered today at $311.03
Even the hormuz crisis doesn't add undue risk to my thesis,
The chart says its time to enter ...
The RSI indicates good entry point ....
I'm back in, as planned.
the Gold bull will continue to climb .... perhaps taking out $5K prior to YE
Good fortunes ......

JMB will sell you a 1 oz. Krug for $4142. They will buy yours at $3912. Nice spread when you're the one getting it. 
I am still waiting for the GSR to get below 20.

My junior mining stocks have been taking a pounding.. I've been buying on the way down and will/would continue to do so.

No. I am holding tight until it becomes feasible to trade. I have stopped stacking.
I am close to using a few Krugs to buy a UTV. Gold and silver become "legal tender here on 6-1. Venders are not required to participate so calling it legal tender has me bumfuzzled.
