    Stretch got a reaction from realbluegold in Gold stacker   
    This is my 8 1/2 oz of gold which has been static since I discovered STG in August. I was aiming originally for 10oz by end of the year which I would have made if not for silver stacking currently at 310oz. Looking forward to adding to my stack next year.

    I'm sticking by my sub $16 per ounce Silver prediction by the end of February made a few weeks ago based on the Shibor trends. At $15.99 I'll be buying some Austrian Silver Phillies for myself for being patient.
    See Sunday's Weekly review. I foresee $14 and lower but I can't see that far ahead.....Yet

    Overnight I chucked in a couple of cheeky bids on a couple of French gold coins. Silly bids really. But it shows that sometimes its a strategy that works.
     
    Today I woke up to discover I've won an 1859 French 10FF gold coin for a great price of 100 Euros delivered. (It was advertised with a BIN of 120 Euros delivered), 
     
    Now I've already spent my budget for this month and this will have to come out of next months budget, but as I used my credit card that doesn't charge a fee for foreign currency transactions on paypal, and I always clear this card off every month, this won't be an issue. Using this card gets me as good a currency rate as what companies like currencyfair and Transferwise can offer, and means that I don't have to get ripped off by the extortionate Paypal charges.
     
    Anyway, what it all boils down to is that I have a coin with a fine gold content of around 2.9g for only £74.03, (looking at the current currency rate online, 100 euros is £74.10), which is about 1% UNDER spot. Happy Days

    Found myself thinking about adding some 2015 to my stack so did a quick "rekkie" on current price compared to spot.
     
    Here we go using one of the best dealers with low / no VAT
     
    Britannia - 30%
    Noah - 24.9%
    Koala - 30%
    Kook - 35%
    Phill - 21.1
    Hawk - 26.7%
    Maple - 20%
    Panda - 53%
    Elephant - 27%
     
    Compared to last year these margins seem to have creeped up so what are the reasons ?
     
    A Canadian Hawk can be purchased in the USA for $19.67 which is about £13.11 or 16.8% above spot.
    Allowing for marginal rate VAT this suggests the margin over spot could be back to around 20% but our European dealers seem to have sneaked in a further 5% ( effective increase in margin price of about 25% though ).
     
    Market forces perhaps but it looks as if we are paying a higher price despite lower spot.
    Maybe these margins will return to previous levels if spot rises ?
    Maybe the pricing model used is similar to that of big energy utilities - a one way ratchet ?

    UBS has downgraded its average gold price forecast for gold largely because of greater downside risks stemming from lower oil prices and the implied absence of an inflation threat, it said.

    The broker lowered its 2015 gold price forecast to $1,190 from $1,200 – the spot metal price was last at a little-changed $1,228/1,228.70 per ounce.

    “While the expected price direction remains the same, the magnitude of our previous price expectations was too aggressive and needed to be revised lower,” it said in a release on Thursday.

    “Fed [monetary policy] normalisation and dollar strength are considerable hurdles for gold, but reduced market length and the fact that much of the adjustment had already been made in the last couple of years should help limit the force behind a move lower,” it added.

    Uncertainty about the eurozone economy, which is stagnating and risks falling into recession again, is burnishing gold’s safe-haven qualities. But the resultant weaker euro and stronger dollar are muddying the waters; the same reaction is likely should the ECB launch large-scale sovereign QE.

    The dollar is firm against the euro, holding around nine-year highs at 1.1761.

    Another risk is that a wider gap between market expectations on US rates and the Federal Reserve’s own forecasts increases the potential for a bigger adjustment should the Fed turn more aggressive, bringing market consensus more in line with its thinking, UBS aid.

    For silver, it lowered its forecasts across the board to reflect weaker-than-expected sentiment, highlighted by the gold:silver ratio staying above 70.

    Restoring investor interest is likely to play out over a longer timetable, the bank said, maintaining the view that silver should outperform gold but that this must take time to unfold.

    “Despite silver’s year-to-date positive performance and gains in positioning, it’s still premature to call for a significant return of investor interest – more evidence is needed and industrial demand needs to step up,” UBS said.

    It lowered its average silver price forecast for this year to $18.20 from $18.40 and sees it averaging $20.00 in 2016, down from $21.0 previously. For 2015, UBS sees silver averaging $21.00, down from its earlier forecast of $22.00.

    The lacklustre fourth-quarter performance of platinum suggests continued weak investor sentiment, the bank said, pushing back its expected recovery.

    It lowered its 2015 average price forecast to $1,400 from $1,500, its 2016 prediction to $1,500 from $1650, its 2017 expectation to $1,650 from $1,800 and its 2018 forecast to $1,800 from $2,100.

    This downgrade also coincides with smaller deficits than previously forecast, which have been driven by higher than expected mine supply and downgrades to expected autocatalyst demand, UBS said.

    While it expects deficits in future, market positioning presents a challenge amid concerns that the trade may become too crowded, it said.

    For palladium, UBS lowered its 2015 average forecast to $900 from $925 but kept its forecasts further unchanged, which it said is in line with robust fundamentals and favourable underlying investor sentiment.

    Paul - thx for starting the thread, as this is going to be the hottest topic!
    I only started in summer 2014, so i am totally bamboozled now - like Stretch I cannot bring myself to buy, as the only prices i have known are below this ... But my brain and HT are obviously logical in saying that we are still historically low.
    All i do know is I am happy I bought as much as I could in the last 3 months. Getting nostalgic looking at the receipt for my 1 ounce UK lunar horse from November for less than £760 new!! Lesson learned ? Buy more PMs. Hindsight is awesome....
    Its ebay for the odd quirky bargain, or trading with fellow forum members/collectors.

    Forums were rife with quotes like this in 2011 to jump aboard the silver bus as it was destined to hit its next £50 stop and you didn't want to miss it.
     
    The fundamentals of the 2011 silver high have not changed and the world as a whole is a lot worse shape.  
    I have to agree with you Stretch silver is super cheap now

    I was thinking that originally however there's too many events going on. Silver's already very cheap. You might miss the bus if you hold and save and be cussing yourself when prices are significantly higher.
