OT: Buy and Sell Silver?


cityfisher

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Can anyone recommend the best way to buy and sell gold and silver bars/coins?

 

I was given a bunch to me by my grandfather when i was a kid and was thinking of adding to the investment or possibly selling if a time comes when i need the cash.

 

Any recommendations? I noticed there is a one place in Richmond hill that sells Metals but there premiums seems to be a bit high.

 

Thoughts....?

Why would you want to own gold and silver?

 

 

The question is why would you want to sell it... it's speculated to go to $9000 per ounce in due time.

 

A 25 kg bar that was worth $13,000 in the 70's is now worth over $800,000. (just wish I had a few...)

Who exactly is doing that speculation?

 

Why are they speculating that its going to go that high?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cause it's a good investment... Value always goes up...

 

Why does the value always go up?

 

It went up in the early '80s and went back down...

I'm still kicking my arse that I didn't I didn't buy when I was told to at $297 an ounce. Advisor that told me to bought a $100k worth of hard gold.. now work $600k less capital gains tax.

 

Why it will keep going up over time... they no longer have to back printed money with gold !

My Dad said the same thing... bought stock instead and it went bellyup.....a Friend of his went with Metals and now has a Sweet cottage in haliburton thanks to the Shiny Rocks :)

And how's it doing now compared to the 80s?

I'd say it went up...

It may dip here and there... But will rise and rise over time...

I believed my hole life that your Gold was not to be sold until you were absolutly broke with nothing but your shirt on your back , but if you walk into any bank the banker will be more then happy to show you how .

 

 

I agree Skip. If you sell gold/silver, chances are that money will go into a less secure or less profitable investment. If you just need the cash then you'll get a decent price right now.. but might kick yourself in the next couple years.

Now, if your asking because you have unpublished drilling results from an exploration company.. please do sharebiggrin.gif

well I just sold some silver coins pre 65 80% content

 

$44 dollars face value and I got $565 dollars that is $12.80 per dollar (not bad since I shopped around lowest was $298 for $44)

 

not bad for collecting the silver at the family business that people spent over the years

If we see any appreciable inflation the price of precious metals will rise rapidly as a hedge. You don't need to buy physical gold and worry about storage. PM me if you want some ideas. I am a financial advisor and I'm not soliciting business.

In absolute dollars it is higher than in the early eighties. However, if you adjust for inflation it is no where near where it was in the early eighties. I remember gold being over $1,000 /oz around 1980; it is about $1,600 /oz now... $1,000 bought a whole lot more in 1980 than $1,600 will buy you today.

BNS trades more metals than anybody else but in the day, First Mercantile called tighter markets. But to the question of what motivates your selling, that's up to you. Metals have tended to under perform over time, because they haven't paid you to wait. There's a conversation that has to occur around the issue.....
