The recent silver market

Ralph Sir Edward said:
At what tax rate? Every dividend was taxed the year it was issued, and that amount reduced what you could re-invest. (And that tax was at the marginal rate for the investor each year.) And don't forget commissions. They may be zero today, but not before 2000 or so. Every commission dollar spent in re-investing dividends also has to be deducted. (you might be re-investing 20 or more dividends every quarter. . . )

Why wouldn't you have all of your stocks in tax favored accounts?
 
Whatever happened to RENTER. I wonder if he has a system for making money in Silver?

You were limited to $2000 in the 1980s and 90s for IRAs, and many companies didn't have 401K until the 1990s. ROTH iRAs didn't exist until 1998.

Ok but if you have been around that long aren't you trying to spend your money down as fast as possible now? Why on earth are you spending on gold and silver rather than blowing it on vacations?

If you had read my earlier post (#488 on this thread), I <have> been around that long. I have been studying investing as a hobby since December 1974, when the Dow was at 525. (Shrug, to me it's a game, like golf. I'm a "duffer", not #1 ranked in the world. Doesn't mean I don't enjoy the game. And in this game, if you sink that great putt, you can get rewarded very well indeed. The better you know the course, the better you score.)

I don't spend money just to spend money. I spend for thing that have a purpose for me. (And over the years, I've pretty much run out of things that have purpose to buy that I don't already have. . . ) Travel is just one part of my life, there are others like gardening, fish keeping, studying cutting edge research in aging (yes, I really read peer-reviewed molecular biology papers - I have a degree in that), putting together jigsaw puzzles, and a number of other things (I'm listening to Parov Stelar Sziget 2016 concert in the background, I love Timeline. . . )

What I don't give a hoot about is showing off. My comments on investing are just to provide a perspective on the "investing course". You know, watch out for this sand trap, which club to use on a particular hole, ect. Why this offends some people, I don't know. . .
 
This thread became contentious over certain individuals claiming there are/were only one way to invest

And the arguments began from there

Why anyone would care how another person spends their money and time is beyond me

Especially someone I have never met, probably will never meet, and is just a name on a message board

I hope everyone is happy and doing the things in life that bring them peace and calm

And those posters that claim to have hoarded silver coins for 40 years and now they are retired and are selling a few coins each week for "peace and calm"

Because they have low self esteem and compensate by filling this thread with useless garbage.

The reality of silver and gold is most people that have over 1000 ounces probably inherited it. Its not really hoarded. Its just there.

Right, I believe our silver/gold posters here actually have pensions and 401k's and maybe rental income - silver coin hoarding is really a hobby
And if the silver/gold posters here do if fact have pensions I would point out the insurance companies providing their pensions made money the old fashion way (not hoarding metals in a safe deposit box)

I think you should work with Hilton or Marriott to develop a timeshare complex at Fort Knox to cater to this crowd. :)
 
The parabolic move in physical silver has the momentum to move much higher is the consensus. I kind of thought $300 would be the top but now Im thinking the prediction of over $500 this year could happen.

It may go into hyper-parabolic status like Tesla and Nvidia

The Conquistadors said nothing can stop silver, nothing .... except .....

So there is that.

You could have bought Sandisk (SNDK) Stock on open the first trading day of the year at $244.35
The memory shortage in the server/AI market has been a topic for weeks
Then taken profits at $500 anytime in the last several days for a 104% gain
It all depends on what you want to watch for opportunities

Yeah, it all depends on your time frame. He likes long time frames, but the shorter time frames do not work for his argument.

Thats true. @Brett investing style is what most everyone I know does and it works really good through compounding and growing over the years. I tell my kids to invest every dollar that their employer matches and they did so they now see the results after 20 years. In another 20 years they should be well off for retirement. Thats what I consider being golden, lol.
