Hard to show the 10oz silver is in higher relief than the 5oz (5oz top)

Today's all time high can turn out to be a forward time all time low.

1980 to 1999 !!! In nominal terms started at something like $540/ounce ended at $270 ounce (price halved), obviously even lower in real (after inflation) terms. Generally better to buy (sell) equal amounts of stock and gold value, 50/50 stock/gold 1980-1999 ended up with something like 7 times more gold being held, so even though the price per ounce was lower, the accumulated/additional gold (without having injected another penny) compensated. Across the 2000's (dot com bubble burst/2008 financial crisis) that swung the other way, reduced ounces of gold ... more stock shares accumulated.

25 years of buying some gold (and stocks) each month (accumulation years), another 25 years of selling some gold (and stocks) each month (retirement) and some will have been bought (sold) at relative highs or lows, but broadly all wash (average) out. If you target particular weightings, perhaps 50/50 stock/gold, add new savings to the one that's below target; Or if in drawdown spend from the one that is most above target, that's a element of add-low/reduce-high 'trading'.

Just buy by the 2oz gold
........  then one doesn't need to make such trivial calculations

buy "some" gold every month regardless of price.  It ain't getting cashed in for another 20-25 years until retirement so not arsed what short term movement does.  It goes in safe deposit box and is left

We can live in hope I guess, but my money is on us closing over £1700, I will guess £1712

You should have bought canned beans with your change. You'd be a beans billionaire today Dave food enough to survive any zombie apocalypse 

Release like this are a "necessary evil " and it's easy for advanced collectors to dump on them.  The industry needs cross genre products to drag fresh blood into the interest and get people into collecting and buying coins.   
I started collecting circulation commemorative 50p's and its  lead into opening so many different avenues for me  with this hobby/interest and now business.  
The biggest challenge the RM will have is pulling new people into the interest with a product aka coinage thats practically become obsolete for some generations already,  give it another 10 or so years and kids of that   generation will not even be handling coins they will never  have a coin in their pocket go to the shop to spend it and receive others coins back in change.   
As a child I felt rich with a newton £1 note in my pocket and I loved the massive 50p's  always thought the queen looked pretty (2nd portrait by Arnold Machin)   this is how I remember queen. Usually I'd be given a £1 note off the old man to walk to the shop and by a packet of fags for him I still remember 10 players No 6 were 76 & 1/2  pence a packet  and would get 10p for going, this was the time where  half pence sweets were a thing, the prise was the 3 pence sweets the white chocolate fish and chips for those who remember those.........There is so much nostalgia with handling currency  going forward I doubt there will be the same for those  tapping a card or phone for future generations.

Nah, this is how I picture young @James32 and @GoldDiggerDave with his log burner on the back 

Is it the right time back up the truck and stack silver ?
