I just bought some Phoenixes, krugerrands, brittanias and cook island bounties for $38 in a frenzy. About an hour later they were down to 35-36 on JM bullion. Bought some AG and PSLV this morning as well, down an average of 8%. Slightly disappointed in my lack of patience and self control, caught up in the frenzy, hindsight is 20/20. All my other investments are up though so can't complain. Ill be sitting on it for another 3-10 years anyways, might as well just forget about it.
I have a very meager stash and don't have much money to play around with. I more of try to play the ratios. I bought palladium when it was about 1 ounce to 10 of silver. Lately it's been flirting with 1 to 100.Those premiums are insane! I'm glad I stacked when I did.
I view silver as my SHTF insurance policy. I'd rather let the dust settle on these games before I make any big moves.

Yeah, I am torn. I see silver about to take off. I bought the Palladium when it was around $250 ounce. (I paid $311) That was a a decade ago. I know it can go higher, but I guess we will see.
I bought some eagles forever ago at $38.
That was about the highest I paid last time around.
I didn't love them nearly as much as the $12 ones.
Perhaps they will steal my heart again.
Upstate raised the AU Morgan price to 42 and are now buying at 39 1/4 . Crazy how fast that jumps when there are none out there and there is demand. They and Apmex are out of Eagles .
Decide not to buy physical or ETF. I have a feeling this is short lived and not going to make any big profit. I don't know what I'm doing maybe I'm wrong.
A DOW crash can fix the ratio without gold or silver increasing.I have been putting away a little since 1964 . I sold enough on the run up under Obama around 27 - 29 that all I had then was free . I've been buying silv 26 and under and gold 1300 and under since they went back down and an occasional small gold coin anywhere under 1900 . 2K gold seems like a bargain as a hedge against a 30K Dow. Where I made money though was buying nice dollars , AU and Unc. Peace Dollars going at 32 now could have been bought at 16 a year ago . Morgan dollars bringing 42 now could have been bought under 36 6 weeks ago .

Gold and silver are always solid long term investments.
I meant I don't think silver is going to do what GME did in the short term. Not going to $1000 like WSB mentioned or even to $100 I think.
