Could be more a case of self-fulfilling prophesy, yield curve inverts and many start looking for what bad thing might happen - and something identified that induces a panic mass reaction that makes it actually happen.

Yield curve inversion (2 year Treasury yields higher than 10 year) often is a precursor to a recession. With a normal yield curve longer dated tend to pay a higher yield in compensation for taking on inflation risk. With a inverted yield curve risk is being suggested as a near-end/soon to occur event.

Seems like Jim Carrey's also heard

With CGT allowance having declined from £12K/year to £3K/year, having some taxable gold might be used to tax harvest capital losses that offset capital gains elsewhere. Not sure if your buy/sell price should be calculated as the average across all your holdings or whether you can selectively pick which gold/coin was sold, i.e. for one coin it might be a capital gain, for another a capital loss.

$188 Billion in T-Bills $325 billion in stocks = 64/36 stock/bond asset allocation. Of that Apple made up near 50% of the stock holdings. Reducing that exposure by $21 billion is around 15% of holdings, reduces the concentration risk down to more like 40% of stock holdings, 27% of combined stock/cash value (still relatively concentrated), and having increased cash by around 12%.

Something like a 212 brokerage account and save into a gold ETF/fund until you have enough to buy a 1oz Britannia. Still has you averaged into that coin over 10/whatever months and tendency for narrower/tighter spreads than the spreads on smaller physical amounts. I'd personally however mix that also with some stock purchases/averaging in, perhaps 67/33 proportions of VMID and gold. Broadly that has tended to compare to all-stock rewards but done so with less risk/volatility (US data) https://www.portfoliovisualizer.com/backtest-asset-class-allocation?s=y&sl=288phRIg0TDBWzJMSVWzpJ

I like how his eyebrows have a life of their own and slide so smoothly up and down his forehead

Fair warning was given

Huh! Around our way we call it the carsey and we prefer privacy

Some say that 8978 would be high

Over 2 million before it even gets into the black (2121311) let alone getting to green. Continue to buy whilst its so cheap

At 1854 it moves into the red 18 = R 5 = E 4 = D

Lost my gold in a car boat accident

End of ice age deniers and even if trillions $$$ are thrown at it the thaw will still occur. Yes that thaw has been accelerated by human activities and thaws naturally accelerate the closer to the end of the melt. Would be better to throw those trillions at preparing for when we've totally exited the ice age and there's a lot more energy in the natural environment (more extremes of weather/conditions). https://forwardfooding.com/blog/foodtech-trends-and-insights/vertical-farming/ There's much frozen water on hard ground Greenland, that alone once that melts sea levels will rise by 7.5 metres. No great loss - Essex and London - so some might counter campaign to bring-it-on asap

Depends where you live, in France energy prices increased 50%, whereas in the UK they increased 300%. Energy of course has knock on effects into all other items (cost of production/transport). Self induced through poor governance.

The financial world is weird. Prefers to take the stairs up, elevator down. Where most when they go grocery shopping prefer to buy when prices are cheaper, refrain/postpone buying when prices are higher - but when they shop for stocks are more inclined to do the complete opposite - buy high and sell low - and then wonder why they lost out.

So give a wide margin to selling a buy stop or buying a sell stop?

1 oz Britannia's are 999.9 ... more easily scratched and if scratched you may be offered less when sold. Being the same as London Delivery bars you may get more than 'impure' Sovs, that require some nasty chemicals processing that gives off bad gases in order to refine to 999.9. 40mm plastic waste pipe with paper separation/packaging between each and you may get 60 coins per 6 inches length, 400 in a metre length.

Went to the RM's web page yesterday, not a regular site for me, browsing around ... FAQ section has some pull-down V indicators against individual questions that when clicked - do nothing instead of revealing the associated answer. Tried that using both Chrome and Seamonkey browsers and both the same. !!!

Multiple options can be selected. Basically on a physical gold forum the majority will obviously vote 'physical', so more a question of what other forms of gold may also be held. Ask the same in a Bullionvault forum and the majority will indicate that, also perhaps with some other forms.

The Royal Mint's remit is to ... mint. It promotes dealership competition rather than enforcing a monopoly by setting its spreads to be relatively wide. Flipped the other way would you rather no other dealership being able to compete because RM's spreads were the tightest/smallest/best! It's spreads are in effect a maximum cap that other dealerships wont be inclined to extend beyond. Competition is good, as is having maximum caps on spreads. It's teams are focused upon distribution of its minted products around the world and has many partnerships for that purpose, such as a partnership with Chards - who then retail to the general public - and where obviously in being able to sell at smaller/tighter spread are supplied by the RM at a lower spread than what the RM opts to directly retail the same product for to the general public.

US debt has expanded at around a 6% yearly rate since the end of the Civil War (1865). Will likely have risen to 40 trillion by 2030, 75 trillion by 2040. If that costs 4%/year to service (Treasury interest rates) then so also does the cost in $ terms of servicing that debt rise. But similarly the Dow stock index has risen at a similar rate. 6% price appreciation, 4% dividends type historic total returns (10%/year total return). Inflation has lagged that increase rate as its slowed by productivity/technology, cheaper food when one man and a machine can quickly harvest a entire field etc. All perfectly normal and to be expected. As a backstop the US aligns the price of gold to the dollar, has massive amounts of leverage, 50x leverage by the $42.222/ounce price the Treasury lends gold to the Fed, 120x leverage via paper-gold (Futures/Options) - that is can use to buy/sell gold into alignment with the dollar. Some may think that will blow up/fail or be replaced however the realities are that it can and likely will persist as-is for many decades to come. As will the tendency for the price of gold (and Dow/stocks) in dollars tend to continue to broadly rise.
