    As you are a premium member of the forum i would take full advantage of the sales on offer here. Set the UK selling forum to 'follow' top right - you will get emails when stuff comes up. i once had my browser set to notify me of when a new post in the selling section appeared - i have blown up a few computers since then and not sure how to reset it. This way you become aware of offers asap.
    There are very high premiums on silver coins in the UK. You can still get coins at a decent price though on the forum selling section. Steer clear of ebay - especially if you are a novice you could end up getting scammed. If you can get silver coins without a big premium then if and when you come to sell them you are more likely to make a decent profit.
    Don't go for gimmick coins which can have a high premium which evaporates when the fad passes. That does not mean that some more expensive coins won't be a good investment but knowing which is which may come with experience. Be aware which silver coins are plagued by milk spot - if your coins are affected by it, it will affect their resale price and their general aesthetics.
    i recently got a batch of coins from goldsilver.be. i got a tube of King Arthur coins. The finish wasn't bad but it wasn't good. The finish on Royal Mint isn't always the best.
    i got some Perth Mint - (excepting the basic Kangaroo bullion coins), the coins from the Perth are top drawer. More money but worth that bit extra. i got some Niue coins (New Zealand mint) these are nice and Tokelau Silver coins, produced by the Pressburg Mint of Slovakia again nice quality. So get to know which are the better quality coins, in my opinion a few quid more in the long run pays off.
    Gold is generally a better buy in the UK. Sovereigns are the first choice. The question has been asked many times and the answer is always get sovereigns.
    UK coins in gold and silver carry no Capital Gains Tax. 
    Also be careful about buying gold bars. Never ever buy them from ebay. You can get scammed too easily with a bar. 
    Ask on the forum if you are in doubt about something, collectively there is a lot of experience here.

    i don't believe the guy speaking whoever he is, knows the first thing. 
    There is a lot of hype in the alt media about CBDC's. i see most of this as click bait BS. They make out they know stuff when they know nothing.
    Here is an article on CBDC's - when you read through you can see that CBDC's are an idea. The 'elite' know the Western financial system will at some point collapse and they are despirate to hold onto power. Desperate to steal everything from everyone so they don't lose out for the mess they have made. CBDC's are an idea floated as they frantically try to find a solution. CBDC's are nowhere near implementation. 
    https://www.blockdata.tech/blog/general/the-state-of-cbdcs-in-2022
    Where is the infrastructure for the switch to CBDC's? It is like the nonsense the politicians come out with about EV's. No more petrol/diesel cars after 2030. They have promised they will reduce carbon emissions by a certain amount. That there is no global warming and carbon dioxide cannot cause global warming doesn't seem to matter. They make a promise based on a cult agenda and decide in order to meet those promises all cars will have to be EV's. But where are the charging points? Where are the EV's? There aren't the rare earths in existence to make all the replacement cars. Where is the electricity coming from? One presumes this is meant to be 'Green Energy' except it doesn't work. It's a nonsense idea which will unravel. The same with the CBDC's. There is a world of cash out there. The majority of transactions in Germany are cash. i suspect the majority are cash in Spain, where i am. So overnight all the cash is going to be nulled out? The Deep State is cash - cash for wars, cash for drugs, cash for crime, cash for bribes. Pallet loads of cash.
    The Western financial system runs on the dollar. The US came off the gold standard in 1971 and went full fiat. Trillions upon trillions of USD have been created since then. There are many, many times more than is realised. There is the whole Euro-dollar system which no-one really knows how big it is. There are 100's upon 100's of trillions of dollars. So somehow this is all going to be nulled out? 
    So all the government bonds are going to be cancelled? Bonds are government debt. Pensions are heavily invested in government bonds. Suddenly people's pension pots are gone. The pensions they were drawing are gone. Mortgages are in effect cancelled out? Do you imagine the banks are agreeable to that? Everyone's savings would be gone. Remember there is bank bail in legislation on the books. There would be in effect massive confiscation of all financial property. The idea this is the solution is mad. It is likely a collapse will happen but as a solution?
    No-one knows what is going to happen with the mess in the West however much they might try to make out they do. The real Great Reset is the death of the dollar and the emergence of the multi-polar world. Asset backed currencies - the BRICS asset backed currency. So Western central banks will issue digital currencies - great but why should the Global South accept these digits? The West is bankrupt. The Great Reset is the Western empire collapsing. Third World status. Keep stacking b/c this is your parachute.

    It's a loan to pay another loan. It will give a few people a breathing space. You can still get overwhelmed with a rising cost of living and rising mortgages payments. There will be some people who survive and are locked into low rates but when things are turning sour for enough people you get a property slump.
    HM Government is bankrupt so there certainly isn't the money to bail out the mortgage market. The increased taxes on landlords is very short sighted. If i had property i was renting out right now i would be out, indeed i would have got out a little while ago. The economic outlook for Europe and the UK is not good. It really is not good at all. Like economic collapse - long term collapse. Own your own home. Get rid of any mortgages and debts as much as you can. Maybe think about selling up and renting. i know of someone who deliberately doesn't own a house and is invested in precious metal b/c he firmly believes property values will go down whilst the purchasing value of precious metals will rise significantly. This isn't me, i own outright and have no debt. i am alright as i am but if i can recover all that precious metals from the bottom of the sea after my tragic boating accident, i will be able to buy a street of houses one day.

    The bank rang me out of the blue asking me about all the debits i was making to various accounts. They listed them off. Quite a lot were TSF members, the likes of Arshimo2012. i said it was to buy gold and silver. It was for investment. i said you should also be buying gold and silver. Aren't you buying gold and silver?
    They said ok and rang off.
    Lots of times payments have been held up. Sometimes they ring me, sometimes i ring them. Usually i turn it round. What's the problem? Can't i send my money to XYZ now? They don't want to say i can't and they start apologising and ring off.
