But I know it means inflation is coming.


Precious metals are historically poor at hedging inflation. They're a crisis hedge. The more nervous people are (covid, election, stocks going up while the main street economy is in shambles), the higher gold and silver go.

If silver was a good inflation hedge it would perpetually be at all time highs.

Silver’s parity with gold complicates its store of value as a hedge against uncertainty. It’s much riskier.

I can't sell any of my gold it doesn't matter how high the market goes I tried to sell some once when what 2012 it went way up but I got all hot and sweaty and almost had a panic attack.

I cashed in a TD-Ameritrade account in 2016 and bought gold buffalos from JMbullion at $1350 each With the proceeds and felt stupid about it for 3.5 years, today I know that was the right move but I can't sell gold and the candrum continues.

I came about a bunch of silver bars some time or another I don't really remember how exactly that happened part of a multi deal most likely. I might see about moving those if things continue to climb as silver is a pain in the arse.

Only if inflation was at an all time high

It’s artificially kept low, and will be until it can’t be. I have TIPS for that

It’s only going higher over the next few months. Same with gold.
We are going to see a major crash. What Congress, The President, and the fed are doing to our money and Our savings is criminal.

How does one go about selling silver bars or junk silver? Who do you sell to?


Usually a local broker or buyer... even small town pawn shops will buy junk silver, not necessarily the best price...

I'm pretty sure it's the opposite. They'll go up in tandem with the current monetary and fiscal regime.


In the MB thread regarding Fed monetary policy, what does PDs stand for? I follow that, but don't really participate other there for various reasons.

If gold was a real inflation hedge, it would always go up (at least in USD). Unless we have deflation, which hasn't really been a thing since the public could buy gold again, then gold would always go up. The fact that gold still isn't higher than the 1980 inflation adjusted peak tells you everything you need to know.

Like you said, TIPS are true inflation hedges, but they're boring as hell so I understand why they don't get the pub that gold does.

Why did you buy it, if you don't mind me asking? What was the logic?
