Silver now trading at $18 per ounce. Gold at $1,070

APMEX charges way too much if you buy by credit card. Their prices on the metals are way over spot. Plus their shipping is not very cheap. I would buy from Northwest Territorial Mint if you are buying over 50 ounces silver or 5 ounces gold. Free shipping plus they charge hardly nothing over spot.

They take 6-8 weeks to ship. At this point there might not be any shipping companies left to ship it in 6-8 weeks if the $ keeps tanking.

Didn't want to pay for the shipping.

That made me lol. Touche'.

Ummm How so? Coppers was $4/lb. It is now $2.80/lb. Anyone who bought in 2008 is down about 25%. Anyone who has bought gold in 2008 is up at least $50. If you bought on the lows, you are up $200-300.

if you bought in 2008, odds are you're way up. You're thinking about 2007....two year ago when all commodities were inflated, including gold.

If you bought copper at it's lows in 2008, you've doubled your money. Furthermore, I believe I recommended Taseko near the 52 week low. You would have made your money 4 times over with that had anyone listened. Copper was the play and it flew completely under the radar.

Meanwhile, you're concerned about gold topping 1k when it was already in the high 900s earlier in the year.
