Flirtin' With 5 Grand...

Gold and silver crashing today. Let's hope they don't knock it back to $25 again. I've still got a lot more silver to sell!

The problem is that the chair exists, not who sits in it.

Down to $4762 USD/OZ seeing now. Is this a crash or a dip?

Sounds more like a dip than a crash. That's not even a huge drop, percentage-wise.

Looks like a crash to me. Went from $115.52 to $85.52, which is around a 26% drop. That's not a dip, that's a crash. Kicking myself for not selling my silver Rosies and Mercs!

If you followed the other thread there was posts regarding much of this. There was going to be resistance at $115, it went right past that. When there's billions on the line for the banks holding short positions it only makes sense to band together and take a marginal hit.

You were cautious in the early stages of the prices rising up to even lower levels. (Oct 15 2025)of what they reached.
Gold was at $4200.93 silver was at $52.81 October 15.2025
Gold is at $ 4891.32 silver is at $85.33 Today

By opening on Monday it will recover a bit more, yet in March it will go out like a Lion as there's a lot of paper coming due. So will probably be corrected once again.

Will it make or break you holding all that change? If you had it pre Oct 15 2025 you're still way on your holdings.

Looking like a dip, already back to $4893. Took a chance to pick up some more at $4850. Monday will be telling.

You’ll get another chance soon. Still up $50+ higher than a year ago.

Not bad to get $6.18 for a silver Rosie, but $8.50 would have been nicer! I knew something was up when junk silver coins were selling for less than spot on eBay a couple of days ago. Up until that time, people were paying over spot for them.

Didn't expect it would go back to 5 so soon.

So much for that dip.

I misplaced my gold coin for a few years. I darned near wetted the eyes when I came across it again.
It was one of those- Now I remember moments.

My best spear point head was in a jar of sea shells for 10 years until wife said she spotted it before giving away the glass vase the shells were in. I about cried too it was my grandfathers.
