Are you addicted to gold and/or silver?

[kidman232]

do you think at times you buy more than you should and maybe short cut other aspects of your life to make up for these purchases? do you feel bad when you dont have anything incoming in the mail or a purchase planned for the week? do you get overly upset when you get skunked roll searching or the bank has no halves? do you view this "obsession" as a good or bad thing

[Neckro]

If I don't blow it on PM's I waste it on garbage.

[corky569]

Yes, yes I am.

[Rastatodd]

That is a good question. I feel that as long as at the end of the month all the bills are paid and my two daughters are not going with out. What expendable income that goes into pm is just fine. I allow myself to buy a little over say two ounces of silver a month. With the price of gold, it just isn't in my budget. To acquire some gold. I try to trade silver for gold, when ever possible. Right now I have nothing coming to me as for metals in the mail, the premiums are more than I am willing to pay.

[H2SO4]

yes. the shinier the better.

I admit that I am addicted to CRH. Finding silver halves or dimes really makes my day. This year it has almost become a part time job. I trade my time and gas for silver. I am keeping every silver I find. They really do pile up. If the next 10 months are equal to what I've been pulling in the last 2 months, it will have been a great year.
Today while I was in the car, I heard a radio show talking about how to turn a hobby into something that will generate extra cash. I couldn't help but think about CRH. You turn your capital ($) into raw materials (coin) and back again. You mine the coin for silver and reinvest for more raw material.

Am I addicted to Silver?

It's a sickness. Going to a coin shop is like daffy duck finding a pot of gold...

[97guns]

i get my fix whenever silver dips, $3000 gets thrown to metal every month - all my disposable income.

[kidman232]

97guns- i need to buy a handgun, any advice for a first time gun owner and what id be spending on said suggestion

[twentybux]

Yes, yes I am.

Hello everyone. My name is Twentybux and I am an addict.

[blackrabbit]

Yes I am, I get pretty gittery if I go to get the mail and I know there is nothing on the way. I start to feel a sort of hunger and must buy another shiny chunk of wealth preservation. However, it is more of a managed disease because I feed the addiction by selling stuff on e-bay and using my paypal account funds to buy more. I don't have a problem selling my metal if it is well over spot and the profits are big enough but then I want to get more with the proceeds.

[justj2k78]

Addicted? Not sure I'd call it that, but I do enjoy the heck out of stacking. But no, I pay my bills, feed my family, fund my retirement accounts, put some $$ away for a rainy day, and I buy silver with the little extra I have. I like to buy a few ounces of silver each month, but when the opportunity presents itself, I'll buy more.

[halfhunter]

Sure, I'll admit it . . . I am an addict ! ! !

Mostly addicted to this kinda stuff:




Anyone else here love the ol'OBWs?

[dakota1955]

[zerocd]

two Canadian Kilo coins (2008 $250 face) plus a Cougar, a banned $10 Liberty Dollar ounce and some JM rounds made for a local bank pop up for $34/toz when silver was $35 a few days back. Just got paid and hadn't paid my bills.

Of course I bought them. The Kilos were in original packages in NGC PF69 Airtights. No brainer. They sell for much more if you can even find them.

Had to borrow from Mrs. 0CD to cover my bills......

How could you call that addicted?

Lucky to have the Mrs. On Board!

Hi, my name is 'silverflake'. {All reply: "Hi silverflake"} I am a silver addict. {supportive clap}

It started innocently enough, with me pulling a couple of pre-64 Roosevelt dimes from my change on my paper route - yeah, thats right - paper route. I was young, they were so small. And shiny. And the sound they made when I jingled them in my hand. They were only dimes, right? But sure enough that led to grabbing a couple of 40% halves from the same source - paper route change. Pretty soon, I needed a more reliable source. Asking around, I found my dealer - a mail order coin store - CURSES! I quickly moved up the scale until within a short time I was into, gulp, Morgan silver dollars. I started doing anything to trade federal reserve notes for these blazing cartwheels. I even sold, give me strength, my baseball cards to get some.

Now, I am an adult, with children of my own. And still the fever is there but now there's so many products available to the silver junkie. Silver eagles, Maple Leafs (oooOOooh, Maple leafs...) Libertads, bars, rounds...how can I be blamed? And here I sit and type my story to you realcenters. Do I need help?

Back to reality - Keep stacking gang. Feed the madness, keep the faith.
Advice from silverflake - embrace the addiction...

Sometimes we addicts have to S-T-R-E-T-C-H a little when those too-good-to-miss deals come around.
Especially those that we know are an immediate flip for a nice profit.
Problem is I all too often fall in love with the newly found shiny & just can't bring myself to let it go . . .

But somehow the bills always get paid, and I haven't gone hungry . . . YET ! ! !

I live a "loaves and fishes" existence and yes, we had just enough. And that, is one hellava story because I've been doing it for 39 years.

[Silver Addict]

Maybe

[Rodebaugh]

Ask yourself this: "Would I buy an ASE plucked from a dog turd at a dollar under spot?"

If your answer was any of the following, you might be addicted
-All day
-Untill I run out of money
-Is there any more in there?
-With both hands
-Heck, I'd pay spot
-Is the dog for sale?

YES! All of the above!

So is it safe to assume the dog "produced" the ASE? Thats a valuable dog.
