I thought you were seasoned and risk-averse?
When it comes to metals I only buy what I can afford, money I would have spent on unnecessary luxuries if it was accessible cash
The downside is my metals are "dead money" sitting there forever doing nothing, but they've still got more life than a savings account or an ISA. To make big returns you need to take a punt on financial markets or ::cough:: crypto. Silver MIGHT be the moon shot but it's only got like a 1% chance of hitting £100/oz anytime soon
Looking back and wishing you did something different is known as "hindsight bias". I wish I did this, I should have done that. But it's illogical as it assumes you had information back in that time which you didn't actually have. So have no regrets, you did the right thing, continue to do it your way 👍😎

Yes, I'm just poking fun at myself 😇
I've been a silver basher and a crypto basher and been proven wrong on both occasions 😂
@sixgun's 'friend' has always been committed to silver and it looks like it's paying off 👍

Took the words right out of my mouth. Violent revolution only ever results in extreme socialism, outright communism, or fascism (not a fag paper of difference between them as far as I'm concerned). Oppression, repression, mass surveillance, suppression, banning of books, banning of music, KGB/VOPOS/GESTAPO, and all the rest of it.  I also strongly agree that even if everybody did the "I do not consent " thing, then they would just rig it anyway. As far as I can tell it's always rigged in favour of one or the other of the main two, who again have hardly a fag papers worth of difference between them, except one is worse than the other.  That leaves us with the dilemma of what to do in the coming GE.  The only answer is spoil the paper in some way to register your protest, even though it will make no difference, or vote for a fringe candidate who will have no chance thanks to the rigged nature of the ballot, again to register your protest. The worst thing to do however is to sit on your arse and do nothing as @sixgun rightly points out, because that will be assumed as consent.

i think both of us are aware of a guy who holds a lot of silver - he might have had 100's of kilos until it was all lost in that tragic boating accident. It makes me weep thinking about that accident.

Silver is looking good!
Well done to those who held 👏 

Back at £23.42 so a decent recovery at least, and another close above £23 will be welcome.
