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?

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.
