PM's... when would you sell out?

[Market Harmony]

Without going into the details too much, here's my plan:

When gold=DOW, sell gold, buy stocks
When 500oz of silver = median house price, sell silver, buy real estate.

Thoughts, suggestions, your own plans?

[Slaphot]

This is a great question. (Gold = Dow) sell gold and buy stocks! Here is a video by Mike Maloney.

When Gold=Dow, sell gold & buy more ammo.

[barrytrot]

So the question: Will Gold ever equal Dow?

So if it doesn't then you will never invest in the stock market?

[Market Harmony]

This is where I didn't go into the details... I'm currently invested in the stock market, I'll always be invested, but that investment will grow when gold=dow. If it never happens, then no biggie, I'll just have to compromise on the actual ratio. I've got time, and I've got skin in both games, so it's not like an immediate thing for me.

When Gold=Dow, sell gold & buy more ammo.

When 20oz silver=Colt HBAR contact NHSorter about a possible trade.

When prime interest rate gets back around 4.0-4.5%, I'll very seriously consider liquidating SOME pms.

Edit: Assuming that interest rates do not jump by orders of magnitude over a few days or hours.

[Rodebaugh]

Sell my gold?

NO thanks.

[Mossy]

"Sell out"? Nope. "Sell the last"? When I have to.

That is pretty much my plan. I don't have a specific target. When there is a reason to sell, as in I can create more wealth/ better my life by selling... that is when I will do it.

That could be a very long way off, or it could happen very fast. I don't know.

I think we are all assuming that there will continue to to be an in tact stock market. I believe you need a stable currency to maintain functional capital markets. A crashing dollar would make it very difficult to correctly value investment options. I hope I'm wrong but I think its very possible that investing (along with most other economic activity) will be local at least for a while. In other words I might be buying an interest in a local farm rather than 100 shares in GE.

[Thogey]

There is no trigger point for Thogey. It will all depend on the circumstance I decide to sell based on my situation. Maybe a profit, maybe a loss. Maybe I'll pass it on.

A man makes plans and God laughs

[tractorman]

I know very, very little about the markets. Is the gold vs dow match an "indicator"? Just a hunch? It seems to me that the only reason to sell gold to buy stocks would be on a bet that the economy will turn around. Serious question ... why does this happen at the point where the price of gold equals the dow?

[Corsair]

Isn't asking, "When are you going to sell your PMs?" similar to asking, "When are you going to stop learning?"

I hope to do neither of the above any time soon. Figure I might hold on to my silver, oh, fifty years, see what happens?

There has been a stock mark for many years with varying currencies it was traded on.

Even right now you can buy and sell US Stocks in several different currencies.

The stock market will stay around long after the US-Dollar goes away.


Remember "stock equals shares in a company".

Companies do things like:
- Mine for gold
- Sell guns
- Sell doomsday bunkers
- Lots of other things.


There will be a lot of companies doing very well if the economy starts imploding. And, of course, some that will do poorly. My investment in a manufacturer of "Ivory back scratchers" is not doing too well lately

I don't have an "exit plan", but I do have a "reset button". When the time comes that my PM stash can pay off my mortgage, I will sell and settle my largest debt. Then, I will begin again. At this point in time, there is about a $100,000 difference between the two - so you're all stuck with me!

Market,

This is an interesting question that you have posted. I have often had similar thoughts.

At 500/oz Ag x $31 (approx present spot price), that's only presently a value of $15,500 FRN's. The last time I checked, even in a very rural location in the Midwest or Northwest, even a very basic house with less than an acre of land and no extras or luxuries will still cost around $35,000-$50,000. And in a normal area, the average house price is currently around $90-$130K.

So...I have to ask...am I missing something here? Silver prices would have to at least double (to $62/oz), in order for you to buy a house valued at just $30K. Do you really expect housing prices to drop another 50-70% or for silver spot price to double? What time frame are you looking at?

Ah, yes...I remember the days of making 4-5% in online savings accounts (emigrantdirect, anyone?)..not that long ago either! (2005-2007). Well, we can pretty much forget about that, until at least mid-2013 (per the latest statement from the FED)....

when it takes a wheelbarrow full of FRN's to buy a loaf of bread....then i buy the bakery.

So a huge run-up in silver and further tanking in residential real estate gets you there

500oz of silver @ $200/Oz --> 1 house at $100,000

[Treetop]

You guys got it all wrong. im saving mine up for the coming werewolf apocalypse. Ive been casting my own ammo, and have several silver inlayed machetes....
The gold I am saving to give the annuaki, set to arrive any time on planet X. Read up on it. they enslaved humanity in the past to mine gold for their atmosphere. I figure an ounce per family member should keep me in good graces.

[Market Harmony]

Notice that my plan is NOT to be in dollars. I am trading one asset for another. Don't fool yourself into thinking that gold is perfect forever. It's good now, and has been for 10 years. But, there will come a time when, in relation to gold or silver, another asset becomes cheap... as cheap as gold was at $300, or silver at $4

Buy low, sell high folks.

[rexmerdinus]

when 500 oz silver = home price, I might just sell and pay off my own house...but silver would have to be $400/oz, so that's gonna be a while!

Barry,

I hope you are right, but I have my doubts. A collapse in the dollar will be unprecedented and would most-likely take the other fiat currencies with it. So then what will be the measure of value? Gold and silver? Perhaps, but that system may take time to set up and then gain the confidence of investors. I fear that the national and international economies will be too unstable to support efficient capital markets on a large scale. As you say there will be going concerns that provide investment opportunities, but they will be local.

I had a great plan.. with the run up over the past 5 yrs, I sold a portion and bought a boat. (fill in the rest)
