I found some best value halves at £194 and some pennies. About 8.3% over spot.
I'm happy with that and have made my first ever gold purchase. Looking forward to see how this plays out 

Well done you, it is a step worth taking and a long term strategy that will give you a sense of security for years to come. 🌞

Welcome Bertie. Good strategy. Little and often evens out the bumps. Premiums do fluctuate a little but yes, you’re about right now. Have seen half Sovs available for £195 over past couple of days and Sovs in the £375-380 range. Premiums have definitely risen in recent months on fractional, whilst falling away on full ounces. Personally and it’s just my opinion, I think those premiums will remain over time so am not too worried as I’ll get them back out the other end. Good luck to you 👍🏼

I'll try to avoid the naughty step if I can!

Thanks for the welcome everyone.
I'm sure there are plenty of people on here who are doing the same thing. Just with a headstart on me!
I've been meaning to start investing for years, but children came along and I took a big pay cut to change career so it never felt like the right time. However now we are a bit more settled so now is the time to start!

Hello and welcome to the forum!  

Hi everyone, thanks for having me.
I'm very new to investing in anything really, but I thought it was time to start. After seeing some people (quite close to me) have their pensions decimated and struggling in their retirement, I've decided I should diversify a bit. The plan is to keep my current pension going but stack gold/silver at the same time as a bit of insurance. I'm looking to hold for the long term (20+ years) so won't be chasing market fluctuations. Instead I'll just buy what I can afford monthly. I figure over 20 years all the peaks and troughs will hopefully average out! And I'll be left with a decent stack to buy some retirement toys and help the family out when needed
