HawkHybrid got a reaction from HonestMoneyGoldSilver in Sold all my gold, got stung
misconception of charting. charting is not a crystal ball.
it's like counting cards in a card game. it might increase
your probability of winning overall, but is not guaranteed.
at any point the market can still go both ways, but the odds
of it moving in any one direction changes depending on the
'sum' of what has happened before that.
trading is a zero sum game. there must be losers for there
to be winners. hence everyone cannot trade using charts to
be millionaires(winners).

HawkHybrid got a reaction from HonestMoneyGoldSilver in Pep talk: don't sell your PM now
more stupidity.
the paper currency have no value, it's the
promise of payment that have value.
(the stupid are those who copy stupidity
said by others who think they are clever)
do read the entire post before cherry picking
parts to push forward your ideas.
the idea that currency goes to zero is put
forward by physical silver sellers such as
mike maloney. it is a way to skew people into
thinking they are being robbed. currency never
goes to zero. ie you will never hold a valuable
currency and then be robbed of it's value.
paper currency is already at zero so can never
go to zero. the value disappears when the
promise to pay disappears. it's not the paper
currency that's at fault.

HawkHybrid got a reaction from Centauri167 in I Wouldn't Buy Silver
for example with hindsight(or foresight at the time) the projected return on investment in gold
from 2015-2020 would have been 8-10% on average per year.
it requires a little insight into what prices you are expecting in the future and more importantly
when it's likely to occur in the future.
not some bs about now being the time to buy silver because it has dropped or even more bs about
how valuable silver is against random goods and services. you don't even have any idea of a price
target let alone a time frame for silver to reach that price target. you are clueless about silver so I
don't know why you are telling people to buy silver now.

you've already missed your chance to be a genius(that was two years ago when it hit ~$9 usd).
for what purpose and return on investment is silver currently a bargain at $30 canadian?

how has buying silver at $30/toz last year worked out for people so far?
most/everything else on that list is performing as expected, except for the silver.
does it do what is says on the tin or do you need to join the 'down with the silver manipulation' crowd,
just to get what you paid for?
(for any who think it's a bargain at $30/toz, no one is stopping you from buying out the years production
of ~1 billion toz currently priced below 'bargain' prices)

HawkHybrid got a reaction from Griffo in Why are people stacking Silver over Gold when there is a VAT on silver?
gold dropping faster than silver to hit the 15:1 gsr is extremely unlikely to happen.
historically a low gsr is a good time to sell both metals. this only really works if both metals have risen
in the lead up to reaching 15:1(with silver rising faster). ie they are both overpriced at that point but
silver more overpriced than gold due to it being more speculative. market sentiment analysis explains
why it has historically happened this way.
for gold to drop more to hit 15:1 and then rise faster than silver afterwards in order achieve something like
20+:1 means that gold needs to be more volatile than silver. and this we know to be uncharacteristic of
how both metals have behaved so far.

HawkHybrid got a reaction from Griffo in Why are people stacking Silver over Gold when there is a VAT on silver?
early 1900's(which is what people usually think when they say it's going back to 15:1) until current day, sgr
was never at or close to 15:1. interchanging old gold and silver coinage doesn't count as it was done by the
standard of the law and not on the basis of metal value. would you swap five coins weighing 6.5g(cupronickel)
each for the weight value of a 8g(cupronickel) coin? but the law says that a 50p(8g) piece is worth five
10p(6.5g) coins. how can 8g = 32.5g by weight if both are exactly the same metal composition?
the sovereign (£1) represent the weight value of one pound of sterling silver(it's why we call it the pound sterling).
the definition of a pound of sterling silver then was different to what it is now. from memory it roughly equates to
a gsr of ~50:1. so in the early 1900's the gsr by weight was ~50:1, which is nowhere near the 15:1 figure that
people like to quote based on the interchanging rate of coinage at that time.
(correction: the only time that it was at/near 15:1 since 1900 was at the height of the hunt brothers cornering of
the silver market in 1980, which lasted less than a year, so is hardly representative of pricing over a 100 year time
frame)

HawkHybrid got a reaction from Scaffstacker in How underwater lost treasures are creating a new gold rush , 1/3 of gold gathered by man is lost at sea
it's not linear. all the ships that got sunk before 1900 accounts for less than 10% of total mined gold.
you only need to count the recent shipments that have been lost. the world currently mines ~2,400 tonnes
of gold each year, much more than it have ever done so historically. sinking 100% of the last 40 years of
total gold production would give you 1/3. if all of the gold before 1900 was lost, it would only amount to 10%
historically total mined gold that is lost. people are going to notice 1/3 of their gold being lost in the last 120
years. 800 tonnes of gold is a massive amount to lose on average per year. america who have the largest
official gold holding of any nation currently, only claim to have 8,000 tonnes, which is only 10 years worth of
losses by that calculation. I don't think the 1,000's of ships lost each year actually contain much gold.

HawkHybrid got a reaction from Griffo in Why are people stacking Silver over Gold when there is a VAT on silver?
it's actually part of the same issue. (just marketing)
it's like how some dealers give 'free' delivery and others clearly charge for delivery.

HawkHybrid got a reaction from Griffo in Why are people stacking Silver over Gold when there is a VAT on silver?
on the contrary to it being nonsense. the rate of taxes on potential 'investments' such as silver have
a real impact on return on investment. higher taxes makes it harder for you to pass the costs to a buyer.
assuming that you did find a buyer that is willing to pay all of the higher taxes, your return on investment
would be lower due to needing a higher outlay to make the same returns.(do the detailed maths if you
don't believe me).

mike maloney should have done the same experiment pre 1971(1968) with fully gold backed US dollars.
my guess is the outcome would be the same. physical appearance is all that mattered to the children.
two pieces of paper versus a shiny thing. the fact that pre 1971, one of those pieces of paper is equal to
a shiny thing is beyond the children's comprehension. kids do funny things for seemingly random reasons.
@KevinFlynn imo you are asking all the wrong questions.
1. if stacking is the process of converting currency into metals then what is your purpose for stacking?
(answering this leads to what quantity to stack? and which metal ratio is best for that purpose?)
changing vat figures doesn't change the purpose of why people stack. it does however change the
figures and ratios that would best fit their purpose for stacking. many of your questions is about the
perception of stacking and other peoples opinion(including those such as mike maloney who have
much to gain from encouraging more buying of metals/silver). few on the forum actually do the maths
for their risk to reward ratio of what they are stacking. using historic averages/probabilities and doing
the maths using your personal figures will tell you what ratio is likely best.
my current ratio is weighted towards gold because the maths says it's likely favourable to do so.
updating the likely return on investment is always handy when the figures change.

HawkHybrid got a reaction from Tn21 in So, how did gold and silver do in 2021, and where do we go from here?
the difference between the gamestop short squeeze and the wall street silver short squeeze is night and day.
people doing the gamestop short squeeze actually knew what they were doing and did the maths.
the wall street silver short squeeze was made up by wannabes who collectively are so clueless that they don't
even know what the term 'short squeeze' actually means. they rely on association by using names that sound
similar and the 'anybody promoting physical silver can do no wrong' crowd defending them.
just look at all those on the forum that still cling onto 'anybody promoting physical silver can do no wrong', still
trying to defend them after they've scammed people into buying physical silver that has dropped over 20% in a
year. but then again it's not them being scammed of 20%+, they only know to complain when the yearly inflation
rate is 6%.
silver will have it's day, only when it is ready. and not when some ignorant upstart thinks that they can 'command'
it shoot to the moon.

HawkHybrid reacted to GoldDiggerDave in The value of silver as an investment in UK
You need to make your own financial decisions if you think about it anyone trying to convince you to do anything will most likely have their own motives. There are too many YouTubers pumping their own agendas especially sponsored silver pushers.
Silver as a hobby retains some value, better than spending money on computer games or fast and loose woman.
Hedge against what, inflation? This is where I would encourage you to do your own research look at silver over 2021 has it gained or lost value look at real world inflation, factor in VAT, dealer premiums, postage, storage as a very rough guide if you buy a silver 1oz round today you need spot to increase 50% just to hope to break even, and you would still make losses if you had to pay to post it or drive somewhere to sell it.
I'm a big fan of people being debt free, if you are making long term financial decisions look at working to be debt free by a given date. Some of the best real world gains people can have is not paying interest or being a life long debt cycle.

currency is distribution of a nations productiveness that is stored in a form that is physically nothing.
(think of currency like language, conveying information. the physical medium by which language is
used is not important. it's the information that has value. don't judge a book by it's cover?)
gold had value before people recognised it as valuable. the value in gold has nothing to do with humans
or culture.

HawkHybrid got a reaction from Booky586 in Is holding silver a hedge against inflation? Can you show me the math?
always someone who insists on calling it manipulation.
from 1980 until 2000 silver has dropped from ~$50/toz to ~$5/toz.
you don't need to know what the exact inflation rate was from 1980-2000.
all you need to know is that there wasn't a deflation of about -90%, to conclusively prove
that silver did not come anywhere near close to tracking inflation from 1980-2000.
