A few years ago - 2011 I think - silver jumped up to $40/oz. Anybody here unhoard their silver then...? I sold some (mostly 90% coins) and I'm glad I did because after that silver dipped - a lot - so I made a tidy profit. But I'm a collector, not an investor so my goals are different.
Some people who bought in a $8.00/ounce a couple years ago would dump their hoards at $23 - that's a huge return. Others will hold on till they see $40/oz again. That's the nature of speculation.
That was probably a wise move. I am a collector, but I have no intentions on ever selling anything beyond a 40% silver coin. $40/oz means nothing to me, except that there is fear in the economy. I watched the price rise back in '79/80 also. The price today would have to approach $150/oz. for me to consider selling.
1979's silver at $45/oz. would have the spending power of $150+ today.
