Seems we are cut from the same cloth. I gave up on traditional politics before I even knew what a Libertarian was. My analysis is largely based on very basic TA- looking at resistance support, oversold, overbought ect, and I temper most of my opinion by looking at sentiment and following market commentators that I have grown to trust such as:

I think silver and gold are certainly good bets, but on a technical standpoint mainly. From around $22 downwards I've been of the opinion that silver is undervalued. I would not call my experience practical as I am a games developer by trade, just dabble in the markets and making these coins/bars too, I've only really started learning over the past 2 years, with the financial crisis a latent trigger and focal point for learning about the mess we are in.

I'm more of the opinion that things will just grind down and continue to get worse before something radical happens in terms of where everything is going. I really hope that the world can wash the slate clean rather than insisting on the safety of an overpowered state.

I bow to your superior experience then IMZ. I certainly agree with the assumption that the system is screwed. Why so long unpaid in Jakarta? I'd be interested to read some of your articles, would you mind PMing me the info? I don't want to go off topic for too long on this thread.

Not sure what you mean, if you mean that you have experience in the financial crisis? I'm not pretending to be an expert, I just have some opinions based on my own basic TA.

Another teaser pic for you guys Should have the first ready by the end of the week!

Global indices have been in toppy territory for the past month or two- don't be surprised by a melt up before hand though. Sentiment is somewhat bubbly as well. It wouldn't surprise me to see silver sell off too if we see a correction this year. But that would be (in my opinion) a true bottom for the PMs and silver seems an excellent long term buy right now regardless of the couple bucks of downside potentially.

Updated OP with realistic price for pickup. We can work something out if you want me to drive it over to you too.

As far as I understand it, it is being largely driven by a single politician, but I can't recall the details.

I don't think that banks need governments to pump the PM price - the ETFs have done a marvellous job of that since they were created.

But yes, always suspicious of any government initiative! :-)

Post updated to reflect my initial mistakes.

SOLD

Used for a few projects over the course of 6 months, only really used for 3 of those months. Moving country, so unloading some of my bulkier pc equipment.

Excellent condition, I'm open to offers. The eBay price of £66 includes postage, so obviously I'm open to a lower price if you want to collect yourself or want me to drive it over.

Looking for £40 for collection in person, £50 including postage within the UK. Also accept BTC, Silver coins, Whisky/Bourbon/Rum make me an offer

Can deliver personally in and around London- North of the river ideally, but can potentially deliver in the south too.



Please reply in the thread, makes it easier to keep track of any interest but PM if you really prefer.

Haha I'm surprised that he can hold them with his ankles right now ;-)

Of course many of us would vote in favour (if we would vote at all) , if only to limit rapacious government spending. But common sense has the whole propaganda machine pitted against it. Which is why I'm interested in some anecdotes from some Swiss individuals.
I'm not certain that their bank secrecy will hold up in any case with the global push to hunt down taxable capital.

Thanks :-) it's hard fitting the forum around living out of bags while I wait to move to Holland, but hopefully I can bring these to the community before then!

Ah that's what I thought , just wanted to be sure :-)

What exchange are you shorting on? I was unaware that you could short alts anywhere.

Any Swiss folks on here?

I'm very interested in the public sentiment regarding this vote in Switzerland. So please chime in on this.

As I understand it, Switzerland has an admirable society in comparison to much of the west and I find the concept of a gold standard in these times fascinating, if somewhat unlikely.

Am I too cynical or is there a real public push towards sounder currency repatriation in Switzerland?

There are 17 Goxxed coins left (including 4 discounted smudged coins). I'm also open to negotiating a bulk discount for these before I get another small run numbering 45+.

The bars are technically available now, but I need to get stickers and holograms ready for the UNO community for them, but if you are interested in them for investment purposes, I can arrange a discount for the bars to be sold as they are, I'll be getting a run of about 20 bars ready soon, there are only a handful readily available right now, there is a video preview here:

Hey Guys! Finally got the UNO bars through this week, pricing will be available soon, check out this video of the first run (sorry about the quality, high res photos will follow):

I'll be ordering more, but right now there are only 5 pure silver strikes and around 20 plated ones.

No, not like most people here (at least so I imagine). I just expected us to remain below $300 slightly longer, but the bounce was to expected from 275 or at least not to be surprised by it- though I was expecting (hoping for?) more panic. I sold off my small trading position when it became apparent that we could be in a bear market, between $450-550ish and only bought a little again @ 300.

I'd have to see the price sit comfortably above $340 before I would be that bullish. Ideally I'd like to see $300 tested again. For now my powder is still dry. I don't chase price swings, I'd rather decide on an entry point I'm comfortable with ahead of time and then execute a buy based on that, though that's easier said than done in practice, this is one of the reasons why I think silver is a great buy and there are lessons to be taken from both markets (heavily bubble based in the past) to be applied to any entry or exit points in the future.

Still have some of these awesome pure silver coins available! PM me for a great price.

Just finishing up another project, so if you like your silver in bar format (around 50 grams) stay tuned!

Lol, sure eating my words right now!
