precious metals investing

Hey guys. I'm looking for some guidance and hopefully some advice that will help me make my decision. I've got around 100 shares of AAPL stock that I have held for 12 years now. It's certainly my last resort in the case of financial calamity, and really the only true savings that I have. Now...

What's keeping our government from not confiscating all the gold and/or silver when the next big collapse comes. I mean if they did it once, and it was illegal I'm sure they'll do it again. This time with tanks rolling down the street. No wonder why the need so many. I think you are making a...

So, I'm a complete novice in trading gold/silver coins and bullion, but I want to get started. I don't want to lose too much off the top, though. I've talked to a couple of local dealers and the best I've found is one the buys at 95% of spot and sells at 105%. This seems high to me. I lose...

For short term metals traders, where do you see them going in the near future? It feels a bit overbought (in the temporary, short-term sense). SLV has had trouble breaking through the 34 level, pulling back a bit today. What next? Will we break below 30 before the end of the year? Or bounce...

I want to start to invest in Silver very heavily but I'm still unsure how I should go about getting it without the government ever knowing I got it. I want to go around and clear out pawnshops but I fear that's a surefire way to get screwed into fake silver. Does anyone have any...

My mother has been getting e-mails from some guy, Michael Lombardi, talking about the upcoming crash and said that the answer is buying gold mining stocks and ETFs. I figure the guy is probably trying to pass off some scam mining stocks or whichever so before she goes forward with it I would...

Why You Should Buy Silver NOW !!! The Financial system is going to collapse, regardless of any so-called fix attempt. It is a manufactured collapse, part of the NWO/bankster plan and it is their weapon to soften the masses for an easy take over. We have the power to prevent it from collapsing...

Anyone ever do it? How did it go for you? I have a few ounces I want to liquidate and am leaning towards CL but I'm worried about being ripped off/robbed. What's the best plan to ensure general safety when making a large cash transaction with a stranger?

Often when PM's, particularly silver, move up in the way they have over the course of the last 4 days - it coincides with stock markts ALSO moving up. The last few days has seen most stock markets trend slightly down, mild red days, meanwhile silver has gone up nearly 3% each day. As I've...

If one was going to pay taxes on capital gains on silver(or any collectible for that matter), but he did not have a receipt of purchase price(or cost basis), could he give a best guess estimate to the IRS or do they require a receipt to justify the cost basis. If the latter... if no receipt can...

I've done a lot of research on gold/silver and have been able to find many theories and opinions on the subject. My next venture will be into farmland which I know nearly nothing about. Some basic questions are, where can I find land for a decent value (still pretty cheap) that can be grown on...

Say Obama wins re-election, would the market experience a temporary dip in the days after the election? Would it be safe to invest in say 20oz of silver now in anticipation for a rise around re-election time?

I think its time that poeple ditch this idea of Gold and Silver as an investment. The truth is is they are metals that store value, so if you have a shoe box with $1000 and have $1000 worth of gold, the gold over 50years will hold its value. Yes it is true that you can make money on the ups and...
