Silver to the MOON

[Market Harmony]

...Premiums on Maples and Eagles are dropping while Philharmonics are already ramping up in anticipation. I'm selling 4 of them now for $99,999 each if anyone needs three or four to prep. [/sarc]

If you'll enclose them in cardboard flips I might consider it

I only have 2 flips left and TXBullion bought 1 of the other Phils... Do you want all remaining 3 coins, or just the 2 that I can put into cardboard? Silver price is up, but I'll keep the price where it is. LMK

Prepare for the eclipse... get your Euro-AG, Belgium Beer Bottles ($14.95 each), Aluminum hats ($49.95, with $5 optional propeller), and lots and lots and lots of dri-slide

Have several Belgian beer bottles saved, Chimay, Duval, etc. Hopefully they'll be worth something after the eclipse. Or willing to trade them for one of the aluminum hats with propeller. Let me know.

What on Earth are you on about?

It's humor. Try sometime. On second thought. Don't try it at home.

Apologies, seems I missed the joke. Guess it didn't translate across the pond very well! I thought you where just mad.

...I thought you were just mad.

XBA is mad alright... mad about silver... knows mad facts... plays Madden football... and shakes a clenched fist at the Atlantic Ocean

Don't feel bad. I'm not sure what they are talking about either.

No problem. Two countries separated by a common language.

You left out watching Mad Men. And also, I've made peace with the Atlantic. The pacific ocean is a whole other story. Largest ocean... who does it think it is.

Admins, can we rename this thread "Miscellaneous Ramblings" so that way we know what we're getting into when we click on it?

[Know Common Cents]

Take a silver half dollar of the non-collectible variety and intentionally drop it on a hard surface. Even the nay-sayers of silver can't resist that sound. Once they hear it, there's no turning back. Got to have more and more. My thoughts on silver pricing is that it'll orbit the moon for awhile in the current range and then the afterburners kick in for the trip to Jupiter. Every silver bug in the land will have their day...and it'll be good. Nothing you'd want to shout from the nearest mountain peak, but that inward smile of financial contentment and a big "HA" that we were right all along.

$34 SILVER!!!!

1 more dollar closer to the moon

[Lemon Thrower]

My prediction is 1/15.

by that I mean, 15 oz silver to 1 oz gold.

by the time it reaches that point, we will have stopped pricing things in paper.

Sounds good to me and, actually, I'd be happy with that... but I really think within three years we'll see parity. But that will require widespread recognition that silver, by that point, has virtually vanished. The news has only reached a few people, and fewer still who believe it and take action to buy what they can while the opportunity still exists. Don't be left behind. Because others will be right behind you. And if you put all those behinds together, you'll have a herd of asses before you know it.

am not sold on parity and will probably convert the last of it at 1/20th. I do understand the point about relative abundance above ground but there is 17.5x more of it in the earth. i do understand that the GSR will overshoot the mean as well, that silver is consumed and gold is not, etc.

In ground resources aren't that salient to the argument... there is an increasing disparity between demand and supply. New mine output is not increasing as quickly as demand and may, in fact, have hit a plateau. According to various sources silver is the first element that will be depleted within the Earth's crust, purportedly within nine years. As a form of safe haven to preserve purchasing power, physical silver bullion has only 1/5 or less the amount available to investors as does gold.
We're both reading the same book, and Silver is a great story... I just think that there's room for a sequel, beyond the point that you're ready to stop reading.

I bet the moon is silver... who cares about what's on Earth when your path takes you to the moon

[Lemon Thrower]

ray, well said. I'm just much less sure of silver past 1/20 than I am before. Few central banks hold silver. the relative scarcity of silver ironically makes it function less well as money and makes it less likely to move past 1/15. it may happen, but its by no means a sure thing. the best argument is that the GSR will overshoot the mean.

[IdahoCopper]

I know of a proven, good producing silver mine in central Idaho...its for sale, asking price $1.8 million for about 100 patented acres. If any heavy hitters are interested, PM me, I'll send the geological report.

Someone could start working it again soon; or buy it and hold it until silver prices are really high, and sell then it for a gianormous profit.

And, no, it is not one of my 3 new claims....I'm keeping those.

Not arguing the point, but the Central Bank of China is now officially stockpiling silver and platinum in addition to gold according to sources cited on zero hedge. It wouldn't surprise me if Putin instructs the Russians to do the same, and I'm confident the House of Saud is thinking along the same lines. BTW, the Saudi oil fields are in decline... they're now directing 130 billion into alternative energy derived from shale gas formations.

Group buy?

[IdahoCopper]

I would not be surprised if the seller would accept bullion for the mine... I can ask.

Jackie Gleason predicted this silver run years ago in "The Honeymooners". And here the viewing public thought it was a wife beating gag.



"One of these days Alice, to the moon!"

[IdahoCopper]

LOL! Back in the early 2000s, I was involved with a company ( http://www.transorbital.net ). We were working to put a video camera in orbit around the moon as a commercial venture.

I wanted to name the spacecraft, Alice, but it was named Trailblazer instead. We were unable to raise the needed $10 million, so it didn't fly.
