Anyone else addicted to buying gold?

[GoldDabbler]

I bought my first two sovereigns last month. I thought that'd do for now and I'd maybe add one or two more over the next few years. Nope. I'm at it again already and bought another two sovs this month. I'm feeling a bit gold feverish

Bad boy, you should be in stocks and bond! Enjoy and congrats on your fever

[AuricGoldfinger]

Yup. At the rate of 2 a month you’ll soon have a good stack!

You may find one or two other poor afflicted souls round here🤪

Just wait until you've held your first 1oz coin.😍

There are definitely worse things to be addicted to 🤷‍♂️

[James32]

I'm not addicted thankfully 😬

I buy because I like a design 

I buy because the price is good

I buy because I'm bored 

I buy because the wife bought a new handbag and I feel left out

I buy incase/hope the price goes up

I buy because the price comes down

I buy because I haven't bought in 2 days 🥳

Point being all my decisions are logical 👆😵‍💫

[ArgentSmith]

addicted to logic 😁

[modofantasma]

Nobody here is addicted don't worry you'll not meet any bad influences. 

Just go at your own pace and keep it sensible. For example by eating just two meals a week I can buy an extra sov every 27.5 days  😏

starts with eating two meals a week ends with selling "one" of your livers 👍

I've been paying close attention to the kidney to silver ratio recently and I feel like it's almost time to play the ratio and make a trade

Gold/Silver - The Oliver Twist effect - "Please Sir, Can I have some more"

Bullion sovereigns are the gateway drug to the harder stuff, once you've tasted a proof sovereign the Royal Mint then own your soul 😜

The next level is 999.9 fine gold and the devil owns your soul (666)

Couldn't agree more..  😜

Once you started it's very hard to resist adding to your stack.

[GoldDabbler]

Glad I'm not alone. I watched 'From Russia With Love' last month for the umpteenth time and something stuck in my head when I saw Bond and his case full of sovereigns. The following day I was in Costco and yup, they had a couple of sovs in. Not for for long lol. I bought both. Now I've got gold fever.

I like the look of 1oz Britannias but they're a bit rich for me at £1500 a pop. Loving the sovereigns though, and a lot more affordable.

I'm not quite on beans on toast yet but if I needed the extra few quid at the end of the month for another sov I'd probably consider it

DO NOT under ANY CIRCUMSTANCE watch Goldfinger.

It will only get worse once you get your hands on a brit or similar 9999 gold. 

Try a 1/2oz next month

A very appropriate name! Unfortunately there's a new variant about called RM/Covid22 - a highly contagious and transmissible disease. Most members of TSF have it!☢️

I've already done it. I kept thinking how many sovereigns Goldfinger's gold car would make I'm now in the 'Getting the Mrs to watch any film with Gold in it' phase. There's no hope now.

I can recommend the Italian Job (original version naturally) Doesn't have gold in the title so doesn't immediately look like your trying to sway her mind. 

 

[Stuntman]

Goldfinger?  Just don't get any ideas about watching Goldmember, especially with your Missus!

[shaunm]

Only recently got into PM but i'm really enjoying stacking sovereigns and then letting the history geek in me come out and research as much as possible about my new additions and pretty sure I will stay long on gold and may even increase my portfolio allocation in the future depending on how things go.
