Quote from: Lokmar on May 06, 2024, 01:18:06 PMDuring a SHTF scenario, very few people will have everything and barter will be necessary. Silver shines in this realm.

...not sure if we'll go there, but if it does happen, probably not for a while. I think they still have room ta kick the can down the road some more Lokmeer. What you refer to are 3rd World conditions. Not impossible, but at least for the forseable future not likely in the United States.

Quote from: Lokmar on May 06, 2024, 01:18:06 PMI dont buy thinking I'm going to be an overnight millionaire but I expect to make 25% on silver within 5 years.

I think that is highly possible @Lokmar okmeer!
You may make more than double that.
If gold goes up, so will Silver.

Quote from: Lokmar on May 06, 2024, 01:18:06 PMI expect to make 40%+ on platinum within 1 year.

..I don't think so Lokmeer. Platinum is an extremely slow mover. Your silver stack will appreciate much faster than yer Platinum one.

It might even go below $900 an ounce again within the next couple of years. Maybe even $800 before shooting up.

However, that being said, it's time to shine is probably a long ways down the road. Maybe when your younger kids are grown up, middle aged adults. If you see Platinum soar, like myself by that time you will probably be a very old man.

One major thing Platinum has going for it - it is extremely rare. 30 times rarer than Gold apparently. While all the gold would fill a pool, all the Platinum in the world might only fill a bathtub or 2.

Now I'm kinda interested in Platinum too, Lokmeer.
However, I'm looking at the best way to invest in it.
Buy shares in a Platinum mine or refinery?

Hey @Lokmar okmeer.... yet silver is up over 3% today.

A nice 'baby bull run' eh?

Rafah will soon be the same! HUZAH!!!!

Like a good Jew you oughta advocate peace not war Lokmeer

Israel plans invasion of Rafah in Gaza & gold/silver prices suddenly jump... @Lokmar okmeer!


Something like $30 within an hour.

Don't know if any of you own shares in TD or not.

This video says they aint doin' so great lately


...perhaps it would interest @TheProwler he Prowler.

Quote from: Shen Li on May 06, 2024, 12:54:54 AMSingapore is a first world city state and we want to remain that way. Cities in your country don't have the same vision.

Well, @Shen Li  Vancouver doesn't have any idea what 'sustainable develoment' is or means. Instead, they knock down old buildings (some nothing wrong with them) then replace them with ginormous structures where the rent is 3x the old building.

I'm pretty sure that Singapore has figgered out that even the burger flippers/won ton makers in their city need a place to stay.

It wasn't this way 10 or 20 years ago.
Now it's insane where 2 or 3 people end up sharing a 1 BR apartment.

$2,000 for a bachelor is the norm.

Quote from: Shen Li on May 06, 2024, 12:25:39 AMEvery major city in Canada has the same problems. Mass homelessness, open use of hard drugs, rising crime rates, but city councils think more bike lanes are the cure for everything. Canada has become a joke.

Plus they build so much under the pretence that they are combating homelessness, but the problem keeps getting worse, RE is at record unaffordability & rents are shooting through the roof. Pushing $3,000 per month in Vancouver for 1 BR.

I hears that Singapore has mostly got the housing problem licked and homelessness is minimal.

Is that correct @Shen Li?

Quote from: Shen Li on May 05, 2024, 10:52:32 PMCanadian cities have gone to the dogs.

Vancouver has become such a joke @Shen Li

It's now just one big construction pit where high priced condos shoot up like weeds.

It's becoming a really ugly city.

Kenny Sim seems like a Yes Man Developer disguised as our Mayor.

Rubber stamps everything the developers want.

Besides the drugs and social decay, Vancouver has become a mess.

I don't know why anyone would vote for a guy who's made our city into a permanent construction zone. The whole city has become an eyesore.

Quote from: Herman on May 05, 2024, 06:55:19 PMZagreb is safer than Vancouver or Toronto.

Too many drugs in Vancouver.

Here's 25 pieces of Canadian Junk Silver (9 ounces of pure silver excluding alloys) & 2/10th of a Troy Ounce of Hangarian Gold @Lokmar okmeer:

I might be interested in Spain @caskur askur were it not for the lack of political stability in the region.

As you're well aware, Europe has been invaded many times throughout history.

Europeans are always looking over their shoulder for the presence of Russia.
They fear its comeback and the ramifications of their influence. Plus uncontrolled immigration and the threat of Islamic Extremism/Terrorism lurks there.

So...Spain might be a good place to visit, spend a few months of the year over there. But permanently, cutting ties with the home country? Don't think so.

Quote from: Lokmar on May 04, 2024, 08:09:46 PMSorry josephine, I'm not drawing you a picture.

Rest assured, everyone else gets it.

There was a recent story about Costco in the US buying up all the 1 oz Silver coins @Lokmar okmeer:


All the while the price of silver still remains the same - stuck at $26 an ounce.

However, the guy in the video says the premiums are several dollars above spot and don't reflect the actual price.

do you find that's the case where you live....Lokmeer?

That they're hiding/suppressing the real price even tho its demand still remains high and is increasing?

What's goin' on here...Lokmeer?!

Quote from: caskur on May 03, 2024, 08:44:19 PMBut are they safe?... Mexico isn't safe. Spain looks safe.

This is for what Trump did to my people....Gringo!





Maybe the bouncer is somebody who got deported or didn't get paid when he was a laborer in the States?

Quote from: Lokmar on May 04, 2024, 04:48:11 PMYou never disappoint, josephine!

You always completely miss my point.

....which is?!

Enlighten me.... @Lokmar okmeer!
