How Much Would You Buy?

OK, this is a fun one. But I have a problem or two with this question............

Yes, if it was a "Time-Machine" deal it would be very tempting to not buy all the PMs you could get your cash around, but what about the butterfly effect? The idea that ever thing you do in the past affects and effects the future you plan to return too. What if you buying PMs like mad sparks others to buy and that some how does not allow for the big up-turn we have seen over the past 10 years?

As for an over-nite drop in PM prices...... you may not want to buy, buy, buy, for fear of it not going up again. Oh you may say you would......... but would you really? Back about 12 years ago I had never bought a single PM in my life, I only had the old coins my family had given me here and there. I woke up to the fact that Gold was at about $270 an oz. and it had never really been that low. I told my wife, my father in law, my family, my friends, "Buy GOld NOW!". No one listened to me, said I was crazy, Gold is not gonna go up. I bought all that I could, anything I could sell and buy Gold with, and stopped buying it at about $350 an oz. (I know, I know, don't say it!). When it hit $875 an oz. I was sure that was the top and sold most of it off. It went on to double that mark and that is why I say if PMs crashed tomorrow to what they were 10 years ago, we would not buy..... we would try and sell...... or be too busy kicking ourselves for buying so high!

If it did end up going that low I think there would be a big premium on the PM's. there is already a shortage on the 90%. Companies are having hard times filling orders.

Reality does have a nasty habit of intruding upon closely held beliefs.
