Silver Monitoring Thread £ (GBP) only.

[MBTPSilver]

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

Silver is looking good!

Well done to those who held 👏

@sixgun, I think you know a guy who holds a lot of silver? 

Before the accident, that is.

Has he done well by holding?

Would he have done well by not losing it all in a boating accident?! - FTFY

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.

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 👍

But with all your travels Roy, would silver have worked for you? Well it might have if you have bought KAG back in the day and then you would have also avoided losing it like me in a tragic boating accident.

tragic boating accident. 

Exactly. Silver and travel make unfortunate bedfellows, one always trying to take the other down.

And it's hardly wearable wealth,  unlike its gleaming cousin 😊 

C'est la vie!

If you want wearable wealth, buy a decent Rolex, a £35k watch fits round your wrist a whole lot easier than 3 tubes of sovereigns and it's completly waterproof in the event of any unfortunate boating accidents.

lol you think that’s bad.  I remember stating adamantly in a pub that that C.D’s would never take off because too many people had record players and wouldn’t change .

Which ironicaly you were right about,

Vinyl sales now outstrip CD's proving they were just a passing fad like the minidisc.

Minidisc was better than CD. Unfortunately, it wasn't commercially viable. Massive shame really

The Chinese are keeping up the pressure on the Western Markets.

They must look at the Western price and add $3😆.

All the above are antique audio format, Flac is far superior but it has one drawback.

Unlike vinyl, you cant make an ashtray out of it
