recommendations on places to buy more metals? I know about APMEX, JM Bullion and SD bullion, any others?
Also, so far I've just been getting gold and silver (definitely need more fractional silver), but does anyone have thoughts on platinum or palladium??
"anyone have thoughts on platinum or palladium??"
If you have any don't park it on the street. Those catalytic converter theeve's are everywhere!
As investments go a cow will give you 100% return annually assuming she doesn't have twins. A hog will give you an annual 1200% return if you can stand the smell of money.
On the flip side I have never seen a John Deere reproduce
With fertilizer doubling in price this year I can tell you we would produce 170 bushel per acre corn yield with nothing but the starter fertilizer and manure from a 70 cow dairy operation.
We Nevada hayseeds don’t understand bushels. Is 170 bushel per acre below average, average or above average?Quote:

best places to buy metals?
thoughts on platinum and palladium? just stick with gold/silver?
I need to buy more fractional silver, have to help elderly parents get some more metals (mother gets it, elderly father in denial)

170 bushels per acre with no fertilizer and natural rain isn't bad. Now with the hybrid corn, fertilizer and herbicides 220 bushels an acre is almost the norm. But it's not what you grow but what you get to keep.Quote:

I was told in Wichita 200 bushels per acre are possible but with center pivot irrigation costs breakeven is 190 bushels per acre.
Watching the online auctions today a Deere 4020 brought $19,000. This is SHOCKING These mid 60s tractors have been holding at $10,000 for the last 30 years.
Diesel or Gas? I grew up on a 3020.Quote:

Likely diesel. I don't believe I have seen any gas models. Some farmers would have Detroit diesels installed and once in a while you see these on auction.Quote:

Well,
The quick run to 25 has got the premiums all messed up.
Silver Buffalo's cheapest premium at APMEX is 18+%. That's a 500 round order...
For SAE's, start at a 41% premium...
15% premium for 100oz bars at JM Bullion. Cheapest APMEX 100oz is 11% premium.
Where do we go from here? I don't see them letting this run. Makes tptwtb look bad.
Its go time!
Stopped by a dealer here yesterday. Record sales record backlog and ordering times. Silver all time highs soon.
We got our dip after the run up... What to expect now?
Wilver above 31 frns.
Time for wilver wrockets?
FJB’s inflation must have triggered it.
Damn near a year since this thread has been bumped...
Nice drop today....
How low do things go with Trumpstein. None of the tariffs appear to be frn positive at the moment.
The last two silver spikes coincided with staged events. Silver was the fattened animal for a slaughter/bear market. Before the staged election, silver spiked. Before the stage trade war, silver spiked. Then hammered down.
Is silver going to continue go up if markets go up, that could depend on the success of the US trade deals/dollar strength. With gold silver ratios at about 100, silver strength/price is more industrial demand, rather than investors driving up the price for a gold-silver ratio of 1/20 or 1/16 or 1/12. Asians see gold as the anti-dollar play. I chatted with Chinese netizens, the Chinese see silver as more of an industrial metal, not a precious metal.
So were does the G/S ratio go from here? Treading down from the spike to 100/1.
Bad News for Trumpstein is good news for gold and silver.
3 gold price scenarios that could occur this June, according to experts
Gold prices could drop
"If tariffs and trade wars are resolved amicably (for the US), central banks pull the plug on their gold buying sprees"
Gold prices could rebound
If economic data released in June starts to point to a weakening economy, the Fed could be moved to lower rates. This would be the push gold prices need to climb further, Cordier says.
"A weaker outlook will cause a cry for lower U.S. interest rates, in turn, giving a new boost to gold demand as a softer dollar spurs buying," Cordier says. Additionally, "any geopolitical events that significantly increase risk" could move gold prices upward, too.
"If trade negotiations stall, global tensions worsen, or the stock market corrects and pushes interest rate expectations lower, then gold could break through to new highs," Nadelstein says.

Wilver is nearing 50 frns again. Looking at the charts and comparing to 2008-2012 time frame, I say 75 is the top.
Over $50 now. I think trip digits.
What kind of hopium are you smoking? :o:DQuote:

Chinese bar and coin demand grew by 44 percent year-on-year in H1. Chinese investors snapped up 115 tonnes of gold bars and coins in the second quarter alone. It was the strongest H1 for physical gold buying since 2013.
India bar and coin demand grew by 7 percent through the first half of the year.
But in the U.S., selling was the dominant theme in the physical bullion market. Year-on-year bar and coin sales plummeted by 53 percent in H1. Demand in the second quarter was only 9 tonnes, the lowest quarterly level since Q4 2019.

The Ron Paul Movement is closed for business. Where are the populists demanding a return to the gold standard. Focused on drag queen mexicans eating pets.
The same with silver, the jews are freaked out about silver and China.
China Silver Imports Surge to 9,000 metric tonnes per year catching up quickly to India
China's silver shopping spree transforms global markets: 9,000 tons imported annually, strategic resource grab signals tech dominance and economic power play reshaping global commodity landscape.

Why China's Industrial Demand Is Driving the Silver Market
https://www.goldmarket.fr/en/Why-Chi...silver-market/
China is buying silver mainly for industrial demand. I was in a conversation with a Chinese netizen and he was saying China only sees gold as for money and silver for industrial purposes. Chinese citizens are buying silver for investment, though China does not want to monetize silver because of industrial uses.
Remember how I was saying if we could have 4 or 12 more years of Biden/Democrats, global growth, high inflation, high debt. No going to crypto. Global economy eating most of silver supply, silver shortages, bankers lose. We would get 50,000 gold and 5,000 silver in a decade.
Probably need a war or crisis to usher in bitcoin as the new Bretton Woods bitcoin standard to stop gold as money.
The real threat is the jews advising China, from Rothschild to Jeffrey Sachs. These are the jews to whisper in the ears of the Chinese to make sure they comply with the cia script.
And media influencers such as Nathan Rich, a mossad asset.
I would love to have a post here exposing Jeffrey Sachs, you only need the wikipedia page and be knowledgeable about the jews and you can expose Jeffrey Sachs in minutes.
Hell, we all know they can play their games and we could see silver sink below 40 easy. The fact is that fiat is failing. It is failing by design and the slide is sharpening. The average g/s ratio since we left the gold standard is about 65 and this would put silver over sixty right now. Gold is going way higher. $5K by years end is a distinct possibility. Silver will probably outshoot gold on a percentage basis. I think silver is a screaming deal at $50 and the masses probably will too when they balk at paying for gold what the rich, the governments and the bankers have bid it up to. So pass that bowl bro and we’ll stuff some hopium into the pipe of pessimism.��Quote:
