    Na, not for me, too many doom scrollers for my liking. Quite happy lurking around the metals section.

    But that means the discussion about the fair distribution of wealth is only available for those paying. 
    Play the reff to his whistle that's what I say.

    If you want to read that copy and paste from below but it doesn't have a lot to do with the current spot price of gold

    I also as part of my platform have included a Universal Basic Income, this will streamline the benefit system and allow maximum freedom to individuals.
    Let's call it a continuation of our mixed economy.

    Was legal tender. One pound in weight of silver was equal to one sovereign and was like it for hundreds of years. This is where the term £sterling comes from.

    Bigmarc reacted to Hangryjock in Newbie with first purchase (I had to tell someone)   
    Good afternoon all, firstly thank you for this forum, i've been enjoying my last few days reading through threads and learning from you all. Looking forward to learning more in time. 
    I'm excited as my first purchase came today, I started with a 1g bar purely for low entry point and I just couldn't wait to get something to start my journey. Plus I like them. 
    I just had to tell someone and I know that you guys will understand my excitement. 
    Looking to add each month, likely start with half sovereign's. 
     
    Have a good day!

    Bigmarc got a reaction from Kitalon in Gold 2024: How low can it go?   
    Quiet difficult to predict a bottom but also makes no sense buying so close to it's all time high if you have none. If I had a wad load of money I would allocate a portion of it at different stages from it all time high (10% 15% 20% down). You may not get it all but you would have accumulated some. 
    The end of the day it's your money and may not be wise to dump it all at a certain point but also wise to try and get as many ounces as you can. 
    As for people saying they pound cost average. Type in to the search bar "truck" and see how many members say back up the truck when the price has dropped. It's not honest advice if you claim to do both.

    Everyone who buys a coin is hoping to make a profit. The threshold for eBay, Etsy and vinted is 30 items a year or £1000 before it's reported to HMRC.

    I had some time at work today and thought I would do some research. This may help you visualise it a little better. 
    I went back 50 months on the for sale section of the forum. I picked a random bullion sovereign in the middle of each month (one carded and one blister as slim pickings some months). I also filtered it to individual sellers. Also I added 50 special delivery postage cost. Here is the list. 




    So over 50 months a total of £17938 would have been spent, this is a cost average of £358.76 per sovereign and would have 50 sovereigns
    If you belly flopped in 50 months a go you would have 67 sovereigns for the same cost. 
    The beginning of 2021 and 2022 with the same value you would have 54 sovereigns.
    And 2024 you would only have 46 sovereigns with the same value spent. 
    Considering you can't beat the pound cost average price in the last two years I must admit it does look a better option for the long term. Me personally I am not a cost averager as I like to do many things elsewhere.
