i bought a small amount of this a few months back, a nice 80% return so far !

Big pop in my Uranium Royalty Corp warrants today. We are revving up now.

They would need to have something impressively unique for me to have had any interest
A real one off: special portrait or alternative G&D
A little cypher, no. 
plain edge, no.
matte finish, no.
 

GameStop reported earning last night - crappy figures as expected. The stock is tumbling - as expected as reality sinks in. The chatter on Reddit is so inane - a lot of naïve people will have lost a lot of money. The company is not a viable concern but it has been viable for me to keep selling calls - i suppose it was good whilst it lasted.
Look at this insanity.

My first Maple.  Bought for the Gillick Portrait in glorious Proof finish.  Thanks @ilovesilverireallydo for such a speedy service.


 

Yes, all I was pointing out is that:
- for HM’s 90th birthday in 2016, the RM struck the celebration SotD Sovereign on June 11.
- for HM’s 95th birthday this year, it seems the RM will strike the celebration SotD Sovereign on April 21. 

A good day

Modern replicas just don't compare!

It's all about money
Lets say for every hour you work you  get one pebble
That pebble represents an hour of your life you gave up, you can swap it for food  or if you save up enough pebbles you can swap them for larger items
Whats good about the pebble is you don't have to spend it right away, you can work your whole life until you're not as physically capable, retire and still have thousands of hours of work saved up in pebbles
To have a civilised society you need money to facilitate trade and to be able to store and log your hard work
You can't use pebbles of course because you can find them anywhere, what's not just anywhere? gold
We can all agree we need money and we can all agree gold is perfect for it, that's why it has value, the value is the tool of money
Its obvious why oil has value
It's obvious why electric has value
Money is just as important to humanity that's why gold has value 

Just checked my account looks like a new coin is being issued 
Fingers crossed its better 
The last one had such a jagged edge it could have doubled up as a bread knife

If you want to invest in copper better just to do it virtually with stocks or a cfd, etf etc

Mining gold and silver is also very energy intensive. Use of oil, water, labour etc all have to be factored in. 
Great video fyi

"I've been buying gold for a number of years now"
If you ask yourself why, it may answer some of the other questions.
"due to rates on fiat currency being so low."
I don't understand what you mean, interest rates? 
"I've seen gold go from around £950 up to a high of around £1,560 within the last 2 or 3 years."
Sure, and dropped back down to about £1230 currently. As people were stampeding to buy at £1500 to £1600, it sounds relatively cheap.
"Isn't it only a metal and nothing more?"
No, it can be a liquid above 1064.18 °C, and a gas at above 2970 °C.
What else do you want?
"Can you only make jewellery and coins from it?"
No, read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold
"Why is it so precious?"
See #1
Most of the other 7 billion people probably think the same.
Remember, there are only 2 metallic elements which are not grey coloured, one is copper, the other is gold.
When you say "precious", do you mean "valuable"? Supply and demand.
"Why are banks buying it up in vast quantities?"
Are they?
"Why is there a world gold council?"
Why not?

I noticed you had "world" in bold. I guess that Scunthorpe Gold Council doesn't sound as impressive. 🙂
Now, who wants to know about the meaning of life?

This is the toll that silver stacking has taken on our Jennifer Aniston

Certain it’s a scratch, it didn’t blow off. 

Waiting for Wonger to turn up shortly....

I still think we're in the period highlighted, something will happen to kick gold on to the next leg up, probably come down more in the meantime
It's that or the world just opens up out of covid like nothing happened, all the jobs come back, all the new heavy debt doesn't matter, all the businesses lost and struggling just spring back to flourishing
