I think one threw a shoe at it

Quote from: JOE on May 22, 2024, 02:40:08 PMI don't think yer wrong about Platinum LokmarL okmeer.

I'm getting interested in dabbling inta it some more.

Go gradually in, eh.

Gold Silver & Platinum remind me a bit of a line in hockey

Left Wing, Right Wing and the Center.

Maybe Gold is a bit like the Center & the two wingers are Silver & Platinum.

Feed the other other & they feed on each other.

Pass the puck to one when it's goin' good & pass it back to the other when theyre movin' u faster. That's what they do in hockey. You getta good line in hockey and of course they can score a lotta goals.

I'm startin ta look into mining stocks and ETFs too.

Anyways, I noticed Platinum is down today so it may be a good buy right now.

I've decided I'll keep all 3 in my metals portfolio & buy 'em when the time is right.

Mind you, Gold is too expensive now. It's shot up to much. Heck the price of Gold in US dollars is very close to where it was in CANADIAN dollars last year. $2500 US for an ounce of gold. Last year in Canada you could get that for $2600-$2700 CANADIAN. Not anymore tho. That's when I bought most of it.

So..at the current price of Gold, Silver & Platinum seem ever more attractive ta buy into.

May as well buy Platinum if you can get 2.5 ounces of it for every ounce of Gold

I see it like this:
Gold is real money. It's the king of metals. It also has real world industrial use
Platinum is even more rare but it isnt real money. Its value to industry is huge and its value is demand driven. It behaves the opposite of gold.
Silver is the middle ground. It is money and industrial in balanced amounts. It can and has been more easily manipulated because the money people dont value it as much as gold and the industry people are interested in keeping its price down for their bottom line.

Quote from: Lokmar on May 22, 2024, 10:56:56 AMI say the same pattern will hold. It will continue a steady climb with very short terms of stagnating. In 3 months, silver has increased about $10. No reason to think another $3 to $5 isnt likely.

Quote from: caskur on May 21, 2024, 01:03:27 AMNo, they become the citizens of their parents origins so if their parents are Lebonese then the unruly brat loses their Australian citizenship and the mutt becomes Labonese.

Your head would spin at how I would fix this country... in 2 seconds flat,

Kind of like the promise of getting Mexico to pay for the wall, your proposal on how citizenship works owes much to its Pie In The Sky origins. Your country does not get to tell Lebanon that your troublemakers are now their problem simply because Australia says so, any more than any country dictates which of their refuse gets dumped on your shores. I know you see authoritarian overreach as your golden ticket to ridding your country of anyone you personally deem as undesirable, but the second you run up against a nation that says they do not recognise jus sanguinis and certainly not when it's being ordered by a foreign state actor who calls herself Caskur the Mighty, you will in fact be creating stateless persons with your policies and, as a consequence, be in breach of the UNHCR charter your country signed back in 1954. That same charter by the way includes provisions that require it's signatories accept stateless people into their borders, meaning you will be obligated to offer sanctuary to the very people you just rendered stateless or be in breach of that charter all over again.

It's not all bad news mind you; there are member states that walked away from the UNHCR charter in question after originally signing it (Madagascar) as well as nations which refused to sign it in the first place (China, various "muhzzie" nations et al). There are also nations (like Israel) who have signed it and then proceeded to bomb entire populations into flight with neighbouring states closing their borders against those effectively rendered stateless. While nations such as yours cry "think of the children" and what bastards a particular nation is, based on whatever is politically expedient at the time. But I would remind you not only of your country's effective vassal status at the UN, as well as what happens to those whose political rhetoric runs counter to the UN's decree. As Pauline Hanson found out, open your mouth too wide and there will be those only too happy to sacrifice you to appease their masters in Turtle Bay using any pretext that fits the narrative.

You too could have your very own set of striped pajamas and with three square meals a day to go with. All bought and paid for on the Australian taxpayer's dime. How's that for welfare?
