Tell me about it.

I only have one stock that is green!!

I need to learn about the ECB and their bond purchases, big part of the picture I'm currently missing 
I can't remember the reasoning but I've seen it reported US stimulus isn't likely now until 2021, I'm not sure if that means an agreement wont be reached or checks wont be sent out until then
As posted earlier evictions and loan deferral will lapse by January, if they aren't extended a lot of stimulus checks could just go towards debt so become moot 
If people in Europe are getting stimulus checks(?) and they spend them instead of saving or paying off debt that could flood the market with new euros and strengthen the dollar over the next several months
On the other hand If the elections go iffy and are disputed that uncertainty might hurt the dollar

A day off today, so a nice little drive to Royal Wootton Bassett, to see my new friends at @BritanniaCoinCompany, the plan being to buy another sovereign. 
However I timed it just right as they were reducing a load of silver flatware items, basically because they had too much stock, and it was being sold at spot + 10%. Which considering only last week I was paying more than that on eBay and thinking I had a bargain, I just had to have a rummage around and see what I could find. 
First off, they reduced the price of a lovely silver double sovereign holder. (Obviously this wasn't 10% above spot, but I did get it for a major bargain). Superb condition, springs and lock work perfectly. When I got home and researched the hallmarks, it appears that it was made by HV Pithey & Co, and whilst the case was hallmarked in Chester in 1913, the date letter on the coin holding centre part had a different style letter n, indicating this part was hallmarked in London in 1908. Now the company was a London company that hallmarked in both Chester and London, and it seems when they built the case they put parts from different assays together.
The other silver piece I got was a heavy silver key commemorating the 21st birthday of Prince Charles in 1969. It weighs over 3ozt and I got it for 10% over spot, made by Turner and Simpson Ltd in Birmingham in 1969. It should shine up very nice with a bit of Goddard's. 
Oh and I got a nice 1900 Queen Vic sov, which when I got home I noticed it was a Melbourne one. Happy days.
So if anyone is in the area, they've got a silver sale on, grab the bargains while you can.

Doing a bit more research on the key, It appears they were commissioned by the Mayfair coin company in a limited edition of 1000. I've noticed on the edge of my key there is a number "171". Boxed examples with certificates have been going for twice the price I paid, so I've not done too bad.

I think the best thing to do is learn basic technical analysis if you haven't been looking into it already
It makes everything much clearer and more simple, where to enter, where to sell - you can draw in trend lines that last months/years and if they stay above that line you're in, if they fall below look into why and maybe you're out
Some charts are more simple to look at than others and understand, @KDave likes BT and that's a more difficult one
What do you see when you look at it?

I originally saw something different but now I have more experienced looking at charts I broadly see this (you could replicate that line more and it fits in, but just want to give an idea of a bottom and top)

More zoomed in a see this

 
Price since August stabilised between a 15% range of ~97 and ~112, could this be a bottoming pattern after years of downtrend? maybe
Is there any point buying now? no, might as well wait to see if it can break out and establish itself above 112, if so and you're interested in buying then that would be the time, maybe with a modest stop loss and just leave it to see what it can do; fingers crossed it was the bottom of a multi year bear trend and you just got in on a multi year bull trend to the upside with tremendous profit 
If instead the bottom of 97 doesn't hold no worries, keep an eye on it and see how things develop

Bonds might get one last go, but they will not do well when the QE resumes. 

Ah..takes me back to my teens. 🤭

The only issue I have with Shells increased dividend;
16.65p per quarter x 4 = 66.60p annual 
Bill Gates is that you? 

There were only 6 miners added. I'm still investigating some. No GDXJ 😭 if I see anything will keep you posted

I expect to fall until stimulus is announced. Hold tight until at least 3 November. It's a buying opportunity 😉

There's a big sell off going on today. Because there is no stimulus given in the fed. Come post elections though the new president regardless who it is will be on the phone to fed to wazz more money up the wall.

It's looking like a blood bath, but a great opportunity to buy some cheap silver for everyone
(Although my plans for selling some bullion in the forum this weekend has had to be put on hold)

I'm employing different tactics to my pm strategy.😁 Not that I know what I'm doing in either scenarios.😂
 

I like that scenario. Fill my boots in the next few months with some cheap stock, and then reap the benefits.

Ebay figures are very easy to fake - plenty of £1 max seller fess promos as well so very easy to fake bid up your own coin....you never have to pay...and next time you sell it "looks" like one sold for that.
Im not saying that is what has happened for sure, but its very very easy to do and ebay prices should be taken with a pinch of salt. 
Real coin auctions are more likely to be accurate.
