Quintus Arrius Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 [Funny, my beard, down to my navel at its greatest length, never stopped me from doing anything. Not even eating spaghetti. That's what my left hand is for. I was completely shorn and shaved the nite before my wedding, six years ago.] Hoghead515 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus Arrius Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Att: @VKurtB: From today's on-line Kitco headline: "British Royal Mint sees gold bullion sales increase 8% in Q2 (quarter over quarter); silver sales jump 47% in the first 3 months of this year." That ought to warm the cockles of your heart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That ought to warm the cockles of your heart! I have no reaction to that either positive or negative. People think silver is an alternative version of gold, and it just isn’t. The buy/sell spreads are INSANE on silver. Sounds like amateur economic Chicken Littleism at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, gold bullion sales (presumably) at West Point were down sharply this year over last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
