I'm with you on this.

It's even better because the numbers you see, James32 is typing in on his terminal at the other end. 😁

Sovereign is someone standing on his feet, a ruler - even of one's fate
Fraction of a sovereign is...just not sovereign, is it?🧐

I do understand your viewpoint, but if, like you, I was hoping for increased returns, I would hope that they would be gradual and sustained.
Massive price swings are not good. It's all very well having a pile of gold (or silver in my case) which you're well positioned on, but if the economy begins to collapse properly, it's not good news. Whilst you are weathered from the storm somewhat, a 1922-23 event as in Germany would be catastrophic for all of us. No good getting paid if that very afternoon your wages don't cover your living expenses. Then you have to use your gold, what's left when it's gone? Gold going to the moon isn't always a good thing. Gold tortoising is the best... Slow and steady.

I'm a numismatist, I collect coins. I'm not bothered about them going up in value every year. I simply enjoy them for what they are. Many of my coins have premiums in excess of the bullion value. When bullion does make big moves though it makes it harder to purchase dates/types that I'm still after as they tend to rise in value as well.

@bobski never checks it.

Always the last biscuits left in a selection box, can't be that nice. Anything that has to advertise its desirability isn't usually worth it! 😁
