........when some of us bought gold below 1K prior to 2007, we thought the same thing when gold approached the 1K mark _I'm done buying gold at all time highs_ Don't wait to buy the metals, buy the metals then wait.
2500 is nearly double than what most middle class consumers make in a 2 week paycheck. People buying atm is not realistic unless your already wealthy. At that point, stacking is just a rich mans hobby. About ready to drop precious metals altogether.
Still buying. mostly silver this past month. My strategy from my very first was to just be able to buy money, instead of buying things. And it has worked out well. Great vid as always, thank you sir!
When the price of gold exceeded £1000/oz years ago I told myself - it's way too expensive to keep stacking at these prices. Later on, I changed my mind and I keep stacking - regardless of the current prices, regularly - less than I used to buy in the past, but still. I stick to best value Full Sovereigns and 1/10oz coins. What is more important to me right now is buy at low premiums, as in the long run the price doesn't really matter that much. Today's ATH may be shocking, tomorrow it will be the normal price and the day after it may be considered cheap occasion.
when you look at the gold chart, almost every month for the past 25 years the price has been at its all time high; we can only hope it goes on like that.
I tell people to figure out an amount of gold they are comfortable holding as a base. I typically suggest 5-10% of investments. If you don’t hold that amount yet, don’t stop buying, regardless of price. Be methodical, and don’t buy emotionally. Dollar cost averaging is the best way, in my opinion. Once you reach that goal, you can then start to be more discriminating based on price.
I started collecting as a savings account only a few months ago... managed to get a few grams of gold, but limited with the budget so silver it is for me now...
You are stressing me out shaking those sovereigns, mine are all in capsules, even if they are bullion...I want to prserve them at the same condition i bought them....😦Also i wear gloves when i want to fondle my stack...😀
If gold is cheap, buy gold. If gold price crashes, buy gold. If gold hits an all time high, buy gold. Gold is forever going up, because cash is forever getting devalued. The pound coin was introduced to resemble the gold Sovereign, because originally that's what a Sovereign was worth.£1. Now, that Sovereign requires over £400, showing that £1has devalued greatly over time. Banks and Governments don't call it devaluation, they prefer to call it inflation, but it's the same thing. Nice Blackbird singing in the background there 👌
Many thanks for sharing your thoughts. I was giving very careful consideration last week and sore the all time high and decided to wait for a while before making that plunge? If it will ever drop 😢
Central banks are no longer buying silver so you cannot put it in the same category as gold. You may as well buy platinum if you're that bullish on silver based on its historical price relative to gold. The current gold/platinum ratio is 2.34 which is pretty insane.
My two cents. The high gold price will likely dissuade buyers, some may move to silver instead. The central banks are driving the gold price. Theoretically silver price follows gold with delay and is currently at a decent buying price, however world demand might be stifled due to low industrial demand
Talk about firsts, I started my collection with one of your silver bars. I’ll probably never sell it which seems daft but It’s a cool little reminder. Question for the people. Is it worth keeping records of what you’ve bought and what you paid? Just wondering if it matters if holding long term
I've never really understood why Brits buy Silver given the facts that we pay a premium (often high) and then 20% vat (tax). The price of silver has to increase so much just to break even when they sell. Just my thoughts but there seems to be a lot of "snake oil salesmen" selling the silver dream. Happy to be corrected as everyday is a school day. 🙂
Yeah, the government is doing everything it can to tell you that silver is not money because they tax it like an industrial metal yet people still buy it. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that its cheap so its a good entry point into PM investing for most people. With £100 you can still buy 3x 1oz shiny silver coins to show off to your friends. £100 in gold doesn't get you anything.
Yeah, with some country's coins the design never changes from year to year. I would if I had the money probably buy one gold coin from South Africa, Austria, and 1 Eagle and 1 buffalo from the US and I would probably buy just 2 Canada Maple Leaf's one with QE2 and one with KC3. There is no real point in doing year run collections. I would probably buy just 1 Britannia with QE2's face on it. Shame I don't have any money though.
Ive always used a modified DCA strategy and only buy if its cheaper than last month so never buy at ATH its ridiculous IMO as statistically it is more likely to drop from ATH. If tou bought silver at its ATH youd still be waiting to even match that price 13 years later thats without premiums postage and taxes factored in . Ive been buy gold snd silver for the last 11 years and gold only for last 6 years
I think the place to be is in fractional gold you know sovereign’s and the like, far easier to sell as the premiums are lower and I think also far more movable. I would go further and say gold will break £3,000 per ounce
I started out buying 1oz gold AGE or buffalo. To me it makes no sense to save money for a year to buy 1i of gold. In the end it’s the same total price of buying only 1oz of gold in a year buying 5 gram bars each month a year to acquire 2oz of gold in 5 gram gold bars. I started buying 5 gram gold bars in 2019. At the end of 2022 I realized I can acquire 2oz of gold buying 5 gram bars each month a year. It takes 31.103 troy grams to equal 1troy oz of gold. My LCD will do a fractional trade of 32grams gold into a 1oz gold coin/bar. My finances have allowed me to move to 10gram gold bars to acquire 4oz of gold or more a year. I buy silver rounds and or bars now and then too.
With gold being the only tier 1 asset, banks teetering on the edge again, inflation raging, and the stock market in a massive bubble. I know where my money should be going. Remember the only reason the gold price goes up is because your purchasing power is be eroded by inflation
Don’t think it matters what the price is, long term the price of Gold is going to keep going up, I will continue to buy until it becomes so expensive that it’s no longer feasible. Silver is more of an issue due to VAT, but in the long run I still think Silver will go to the moon. For me it’s all long term savings that I either pass on to my kids or it gets me out of a hole if the World turns upside down..
I perused the comments section and was disappointed that it has not, as of yet, been infected by bots. So, here goes.. I find your physique to be similar to that of Hercules and the world is held up by a series of never ending turtles. Nice 1, BYB. My stack has finally exceeded the costs of premiums and postage costs. Only 3 years in. Regrettably, my 9 0z of rare pf69's and pf70's is lagging. The boy will inherit. He'll have to figure that out for himself.
A stocks and shares ISA is a good option if you want to take investing seriously. I am never going to recommend silver, not even to someone I don't like. Gold is nice, especially if like me, you're wondering why the central banks are buying it up in such huge amounts, but maybe let the price cool down a bit.
Personally I would stay away from Stocks, Bonds and BTC. In the UK, Gold and Silver coins of the realm i.e. Britannia’s and sovereign’s are a Capital Gains Tax free. Gold is VAT free. Silver is not, however Gold to Silver Ratio is at 1:80. (1 Oz Gold = 80 Oz Silver) Coming out of the ground it’s naturally 1:7! So Silver is VERY undervalued, BUT it’s riskier, so don’t overdo it. There are different views on this, but If I had my FIRST £1000 cash (Approx), I would buy: 25 Britannia’s (£650) 1 Sovereign (£400) Be patient, don’t panic (At all!) and take the long view. Try to get a feel for it. Gold and Silver are real money with 5000 years of history.
@John-FourteenSix what an amazing response...honestly, I couldn't have asked for anything more. I'm not rushing anything, I've got 1000 free, ontop of my saving if that makes sense. I'm just interested to invest and have spent many hours enjoying silver/gold content. Thank you again
@stevens69411 I can't really tell you what to invest your money in. That's up to you. I am not a financial adviser. You should not really be asking the Internet what to do with your money. All I can do is tell you what I like to do. I like to put my money into the S&P 500 through a stocks and shares ISA. I also like gold, I have Britainias 1 OZ coins, some 1 OZ US gold coins, and a bunch of sovereigns. I do not own silver yet. Maybe I would if the price crashed enough. With £1000 spare in my account, I would put it into an S&P 500 index fund. Do a little research into what the most competitive stocks and shares ISA's are, plenty of comparisons and reviews out there. You will not lose all your money like some people think, and even if there is a crash, the economy will recover. Silver is a terrible investment, and the only people making money from silver are dealers.
So you're no longer on the Royal Mint proof gold speculation bandwagon? Or is it just bullion gold you're taking a break from? I suppose you did caveat.
I have to keep buying because I'm trying to buy up the entire world's supply. Aiming to be done in 5-10 million years.
I think Russia. India and china are beating you to it 😂

Don't wait to buy the metals, buy the metals then wait.
Agree. Though I have to say waiting for a pullback to buy is always the smart thing to do.
Yh buying sovereigns at £80 was a real drag when gold was £200-260 an ounce for a decade....

I think it depends on how important/precious one believes gold will become over the next few years. It could be worth buying at any price.
If gold is cheap, buy gold.
If gold price crashes, buy gold.
If gold hits an all time high, buy gold.
Gold is forever going up, because cash is forever getting devalued.

If youre a dealer you trade whether its down or up doesnt matter. If youre a buyer as a stacker or investor you wait for the dips.
Many thanks for sharing your thoughts. I was giving very careful consideration last week and sore the all time high and decided to wait for a while before making that plunge? If it will ever drop 😢
I've actually sold some bits of gold recently so that I could buy more silver. At current silver prices, I'm grabbing all that I can get my hands on.
Central banks are no longer buying silver so you cannot put it in the same category as gold. You may as well buy platinum if you're that bullish on silver based on its historical price relative to gold. The current gold/platinum ratio is 2.34 which is pretty insane.

All time too highs. Needs to drop a bit, so it can fit, in my budget.
When do you think the price will drop down? or will it?
Obviously no one knows, and if someone says they do know, they are lying to you.
If one looks at the last 3 years gold price it is clear the trend is upwards. And if this trend continues gold will be around £2000 per oz by 2027.
It’s 2300 USD now which isn’t far off 2000 GBP. 2027 lol😅 clown

Remember gold was $30. Lose the short time mentality.
When was that in the 1890s
golds not gonna double its price... silver has projections to up to 160$ an oz... will it happen who knows but gold isnt going up 7x its current price
If you think silver will 7x its price you have a heavy truth to admit to at some point in the future....
not much gold
Still picking up choice proofs which are only loosely tied to spot gold.
I to have stopped buying gold for now. Not price though, I've reached my target quantity for investing.
