Crying! I'm short silver in my brokerage account. Pain, pain... Pain.
At least it is helping my coin collection...

I run a little for both happy and sad. I have bought proof coins from the mint regularly since 1996. Modern commemorative, proof sets and Silver Eagles. Now I am close to being priced out of continuing my sets but the existing have far outreached the purchase price. The same thing happened in 2007 when I had set my goal of the first spouse series only to be out of my price range by 2008. It's good for a speculator but bad for a hobbyist.

I have 3 silver quarters, so I don't care. I'll be elated when copper hits $40/oz.

I could only make one vote so it was laughing because that is mostly it. Because I started hard core stacking Silver in March of last year. As for my numismatic passion ( Eisenhower dollars) "Don't Care" Because money is only a tool like a hammer or screw driver it allows me to get something accomplished that I love. And yes there is some crying because no matter how hard I have been stacking I always think I should have bought more.

Clad Ikes have a bullion value of .25, how long before they are worth more than a dollar at the rate we are going?

Billie, Clad Ikes have a bullion value of .25, how long before they are worth more than a dollar at the rate we are going?There is a large amount of copper in a clad Ike. And back a few months ago when JP Morgan Chase very quietly bought up about 70% of the London Exchanges physical copper with the intent of opening a copper exchange along the same lines as the Silver Exchange. And given their track record for manipulating markets They Might (Do not know for sure) have the intent of manipulating the price of copper in the up direction instead of like they did with Silver where the objective was to hold it down. It might not take a clad Ike to be worth a buck or more That would be great.

Silver at 40/ounce, copper at 4.47/pound, Nickel at 12.48/pound.
Sounds great, right? except, ummmmm, Oil closed at 113/barrel, Gas is $3.50/gallon on average, and you really need to go grocery shopping with your wife to see what this is doing to our buying power. It now takes $1.44 to buy what a Euro does. Kiss goods from Europe goodbye for awhile. We are within 10% of being at par with the Swiss Franc and the Canadian and Australian Dollars. All three of these currencies were around 2:1 in the USD's favor a few years back.
