Please let us know how it goes. Do you have a website for your knife business? Do you ever handle Ruffin Johnson products?


Decided to take Brittanias to the show. Didn't sell one round at $50. There were more Chinese knives at that show than I have ever seen.

One thing I heard from 3 local dealers: A large smelter in the Houston area is so backlogged that 2 days ago they quit taking Sterling as well as 90%. Only .999%.

Give it time. Once the refiners burn through all that backlog things will go back to normal.

Bought quite a bit of silver on here over the years. Don't like to post much.

Plus, I have twins that just started driving and am buying them each a new car. So I might be a good time to unload some silver and gold.

I'll help you get to 10 by asking why you would do that. Gold and silver is forever wealth storage that you could pass on to your twins, while new cars immediately depreciate. If they need cars for their career, at least back off a couple of years and buy them late model used ones. You will save 10s of thousands. I would also make them pay for the insurance and upkeep, if not contributing to the cost.

No more resistance for silver. Will go to $60-70 fairly quickly.

Exactly. New cars are the biggest waste of money. I never bought a new car. I have a mid 2000's Accord and I keep it well maintained. It runs like a top!

Yep, a quick pop up, before dropping again, but it'll keep going up.

I just saw $51.90 on kitco.

So on a whim I was looking on ebay just now and I searched for commemorative silver dollars, you know the ones they put out every year that immediately drop in value? Well there's a fair amount for sale on ebay for under spot. It makes me wonder if price of silver is going up so fast that people aren't able to keep up/check proper pricing? Or maybe they just want to dump those US Mint failures. Only thing good about them is they are the same specs as Morgans and Peace dollars.

Either way, if anyone looking to snipe out some sub-spot silver, keep an eagle eye out.

GSR down below 80, finally. I believe the gold rise will slow down, and silver will eventually peak possibly to near 90-100 as a FOMO overrun, and then drop back, but I will not be surprised to see prices settle at 4500 gold and 75 silver, with a final (for this stage of the bull) GSR of 60.

Sold my SLV (both stock shares and options) after a spectacular up move over the past 6 weeks or so. Waiting for afair pullback to get on board again.

Still have a bunch of 90% silver coins- mostly halves.
Former stock broker w/ ~20 yrs. at one company. Spoke with 100k+ people and traded a lot (long, short, options, margin, extended hours, etc.).

NOTE: ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- often
substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) and selling short as well.
