Multiple people, out past their bed times here tonight. Reading 

on this thread 
Go to bed, we need workers not shirkers tomorrow 
Tax revenues could benefit from your extra efforts today tomorrow at work not here swapping your fiat for over priced gold
Everything else will of course becoming down now the new min wage has gone up ridiculously higher than most businesses can really afford and totally out of line with general inflation 
oooooohhhh and let's not raise the personal tax allowance again for another year dragging more minimum earners into paying
enjoy your big mac meal it'll be £10 now soon enough
£7.50 - £10a pint
Fiver on the bus or train to go one stop
And £50 to get your windows cleaned but the government is pulling everyone out of poverty 
FFS let me join this 🚀 to the moon with my gold.
I'm happy to relocate there

A move up in silver means. Global growth economically , a new battery/solar panel that uses a shitload of silver or ….even the plebs getting worried about the state of things 

The gold silver ratio could go to 50.   It’s highly unlikely to punch 100 again.. mmmmmmm

Have enough of both metals, just enjoying the show 🙂

Really?
I chose 6 companies that I have personally bought from. I chose only 6 because I didnt want to sit there for days colating the data. 
This is not a definitive list, deal with it.

Mine will be tracking me in a bag under a floorboard.    I’m a sitting duck for a drone attack 

QE2 full sovereigns available for below spot

450 bill pah. these tory goons can piss that up the wall on a cold 

You’re not wrong. I just hope the tories get no seats, and we see 100+ seats from reform. That’s best case scenario for me. Replace the tories with an actual Conservative Party, watch the world burn for 4 or 8 years. Then hope for a reform government 

War, reducing reliance on the USD in the Middle and Far East .  Rate cuts coming.. its the perfect storm.  plus rich individuals getting loot off grid..  

Sorry, I don’t t know where you got that from but that’s nonsensical. It’s a store of value… has been for thousands of years. It’s what good does. It’s currency.
We may be entering a speculative phase for some. But you can do that with tulip bulbs or seashells. Its lack of utility makes it perfect for currency. It’s relative stability makes it unattractive for speculation vs other unstable assets. 

If you are a speculator you don’t buy gold.. you buy gold as a hedge. Investors are seeing the need for a hedge.. not a speculative asset. This alongside currency devaluation and central bank buying is driving gold price not speculation. There’s many more lucrative vehicles for that. Silver and platinum may be seen as speculative, crypto, equities definitely. Gold is different.. hence so many people have hated it for so long. 

On the contrary.. gold is not a speculative asset.

This is interesting, I had worked out an old £1=240 pennies would have copper worth £15.52 in them.
Now according to this inflation calculator a £1 in 1970 would be worth £15.60.

Pre 1992, 1 and 2 pences are 97% copper.

I wasn't comparing the UK to anyone else - I just don't think it's a fair representation to say that we got money from the EU budget as a net contributor.

There are a lot more pound notes these days!

A one per cent move takes in a lot more pound notes these days ! 

Sterling has had a fairly stable year v the dollar..  if the BOE goes first.  And it should inflation will crumble soon..  the sell off won’t last long as the improved growth numbers come through..  FX traders are always looking three moves ahead 

Id be buying old silver coins at this point not shiny bullion. If things seriously go wonky in the next decade, recognisable coins would be better, or at least something round with a UK head of state on it.

There are only five of us left ...

Not seen any on here for ages..   they are a bit like the Rolex of silver bars.   its called 'vintage silver' but basically anything made before the 'great melting'..  especially from now defunct smaller manufacturers.   lots of small US firms included in that as well ..
