    HawkHybrid reacted to Paul in Looking for Investment ideas   
    As a black sheep of society, your question gets asked every so often, folk never seem to suggest to investing in "YOURSELF " 
    and is always the best answer in my opinion
    * Get that next skill, take that next course, a more skilful YOU makes YOU stand out from the crowd & be more more valuable to other employers
    * Invest in a gym membership or personal trainer to improve YOUR health.  If you are able to live & work an extra x10+ years due to better lifestyle will earn you £100,000s+
    * Invest in YOURSELF learning how to cook. learn batch cooking. learn how to cook great food for less.  learn how to cook the food that is good for you. your family & extended social circle will thank you for it. learn to not have to rely on fast food or processed food 
    * Invest in YOURSELF with private health tests and food allergy tests to check you are not deficient or lacking or you are not eating stuff that is bad for you or affecting your day to day function/performance. Invest in water purification for your home, cleaner water with the extra oogly-booglies removed your body will thank YOU for it every day
    * Invest YOUR time better, listening to audiobooks instead of watching football or soaps
    * Invest in yourself every day with meditation and positive direction & choices = FREE but how many folk do it
    * Invest in a pack of "post it notes" to say what you want from the day, week, month and where you want top be.  Visual affirmations daily make them far more likely to happen/succeed 
    * Invest in YOUR business - Purchase the better camera to take better shots, Get the higher PSI pressure washer for your business, to do dirtier jobs easier and faster, invest in learning niche marketing or FB ads
    * Invest in marketing YOURSELF further with a bigger social network on LinkedIn. Improve YOUR social circle. Your life will resemble the folk YOU are closest to. Investing your time with losers will result in loser results
    * Invest in improving YOUR house to lower utility bills & costs, invest in a ultra efficient boiler to lower your energy costs
    * Invest in DOING rather than saying, the path to success is not a straight road and it is the mistakes you make along that road that make you succeed when you choose to learn from them 
    * Invest in the highest speed internet so YOU can do YOUR job faster
    * Invest in YOUSELF by becoming a "people pleaser", don't be a money ££ chaser leach.  Seek greatness/ By being a people pleaser, solving peoples needs & problems, make something or service that is faster/easier/tastier/smaller/better/nicer/softer/cheaper/shinier than your competitor(s).  By being a "people pleaser", money will naturally gravitate to you & happily THROW money at you by simply solving peoples needs better than the next
    Note every suggestion has YOU in the the content.
    No-one is doing this for YOU - YOU are doing it for YOU 
    Investing £1,500 in yourself and self-betterment, will brings dividends many multiples of value far higher than having it sat in a 0.00001% bank, in premium bonds or a useless yellow metal

    HawkHybrid got a reaction from Widsith in I think there is a misunderstanding regarding the magnet slide test   
    silver needs to be diamagnetic so that the silver is not stuck on the closest magnet when sliding.
    it needs to be more conductive than copper for the energy required for the slide to be noticeable
    given a fixed magnet set up.
    so I'm guessing it needs both.

    HawkHybrid got a reaction from Rll1288 in Spot price, link to dealer prices and spot price apps.   
    silver like everything else trades in a range of prices at any one moment in time.
    trading volume can change trading price. at any given moment, the price for 1 toz
    can be different to that for 20 toz. the spot price is a single price used to try and
    represent all of these trading ranges. it's like the mid price of a share. the spot price
    is best used as a gauge of the price range that silver is trading for. the quoted price
    for the item is much more important/useful than the spot price.

    just so that you know, exponential regression doesn't work like that. it's not linear regression.
    ie 4,800% is not 96% per annum(4,800 divide by 50). it's logarithmic regression of 4,800% over
    50 years which is ~8% average per annum(use a calculator).
    8% compounded over 10 years is 2.16 times original so projected gold price would be £3,036 in
    2030.

    I criticise him more than most on the forums for misleading people, but as a 'pro buying

    which major silver mines have been operating at a loss?
    for how long have they been unprofitable and by how much per toz?
    who is funding all of these unprofitable silver mines?
    not exactly a major mine only producing in the lower millions toz(until recently):
    hochschilds arcata mine have been profitable for over 50 years only recently halting production
    due to it's age that it's mining cost of ~$16-$18 per toz was no longer profitable(2019 evaluation).
     
    https://www.silver-phoenix500.com/article/silver-miners’-q1’21-fundamentals
    look at the data for the silver miners, aisc is below $20 per toz for all of those that are declaring it.
    (~33% declared by volume). an educated guess puts the average aisc at less than $18/toz, if you can't
    beat a 50 year old mine that has already exhausted its best high grade spots then you should shut
    down the mine.
     
    where is your data that silver miners have been selling silver at a loss for years or have you just
    heard it from a youtuber?

    all that has nothing to do with the price and supply/demand of silver/gold on the futures market.
    only those who join in on the price discovery, (buy or sell) need to be counted.
    everyone else can keep on talking. until the price actually moves, it's all speculation.
     
    bottom line is 
    how is the above not a free market?

    HawkHybrid got a reaction from Roy in Whats your preferred metal?   
    I'm impressed that you've managed to work out that liking something doesn't automatically make it
    the best choice every time. we all like silver(it's why we've found our way to thesilverforum). some of
    us choose to defend silver to the bitter end. whilst others try a more practical approach, and choose
    the best metal for the job at hand based on it's merits. being honest with yourself to each metals pros
    and cons is an important step for this.
    I like gold because it's requires the least maintenance.(the lazy option)

    HawkHybrid reacted to Minimalist in Whats your preferred metal?   
    Reading the Silver area of the forum got me wondering why many on here are Silver maximists/fundamentalists (tongue in cheek btw, before someone starts posting about religion). Logic would assume its because of budget in comparison to Gold, but many comments are exaggerated (re: inflation) given its role to play in the industrials. Before someone points out, aye, its heavily suppressed in the futures market. Dont get me wrong I own, have owned and trade Silver when I feel its needed, it just doesnt feel as secure as Gold. Maybe its a psychological thing but you get more benefits out of Gold and its primary purpose is monetary value which makes it a default on really anything.
    Gold for me.
    Would be interesting if posters on here prefers either Platinum or Copper, over Gold or Silver. I have only met one person in my life who is huge on Copper trading and investing.

    HawkHybrid reacted to Roy in Priced in gold   
    Perhaps it's simply an index- no denominations i.e £ or toz but 10 x, 100x etc.?
    'When measured in Pounds Sterling, UK Houses are over 100 times more expensive than they were in the early 1950s (the £ index has risen from 100 to over 11,000). But measured in gold, house prices are about the same today as in 1952 (gold index 100 then, 105 in mid-2020). Since 2005, house prices in £ rose almost 50%, while prices in gold fell by more than 75%.'

    In a word, no.
    First, I don't think silver is going to hit the moon.
    I bought into the hype back when silver was $5/oz, the fiat crash was coming, just around the corner in fact, the dollar was going to go down and burn.
    Well it didn't. Did it lose purchasing power? Yes it did.
    Has it been highly inflated since the early 2000s? Yes, for sure.
    Has silver gone to the moon? Well that depends how high the moon is, $20? $30? or $40? 
    What I did see was a healthy profit on those 50 or so oz of silver I'd accumulated at $5. So was it a bad move? No it certainly wasn't, it was quite lucrative in fact and I'm still in profit on all of those holdings.
    The biggest problem for silver is that the financial system is heavily rigged against it. They will always find a way to knock the price down. Should silver be worth more? Yes probably.
    So Basel III arrives, it won't make much difference they'll just restructure how they do the price knockdown. If the market is so lucrative for the big banks they'll find a way around the rules, they have lots of lawyers etc. All good for finding legal loopholes.
    The whole banking crisis of 2008 was supposed to have brought in reforms and tightened up credit and brought about responsible lending. To be honest, people have short memories and I don't think much has changed, if anything it's same old, same old. The lure of a quick buck being simply too strong to resist, they'll just have rebranded and reworked how they run the same old schemes.
    Am I a cynic? Yes totally.
    So what if silver does head to $100, $1000 an oz? Well if that happens then there is a wider currency crisis at hand and that will result in one of two things: a revaluation - a la Turkey, where they knock a few zeros off the currency. So your $1000 oz of silver, suddenly becomes worth 10 new dollars. Or they will switch to a digital currency where your £1000 oz of silver becomes worth 15 Britcoins.
    If silver does make $1000 per oz, then I ask you what will the price of bread be, $750 a loaf?
    A rapidly rising silver price won't equal life changing profits in a currency collapse, it will hopefully simply sustain your current net worth until recalibrated into a new currency format. Or at best give you a tidy profit, like my $5 oz purchase going up to $20/$30. Can't exactly retire on it though can I?
    I suspect the price this decade will mostly fluctuate between $15-$35 oz. We might break ground at $50 an oz by the late 2030s, based on the steady erosion of inflation.
    If a pandemic and worldwide lockdown can't send silver heavily skyward, nor conflicts throughout the 2000s, 9/11 or the banking crisis of 2008, then I struggle to forsee what could send it to the moon and make it stay there.
    Maybe we'll hit $100 by the end of the century? 2100 here's looking at you...

    gold has the most uses of any metal known to man. however it's scarcity means that it is rationed
    and used sparingly.
     
    'buy up to as much gold as your understanding of gold allows you to' belangp youtube.
    holding gold has a purpose. find your interpretation of that purpose and then work out how much
    gold you need to hold to accomplish that purpose. if it came down to it, it's probably better to
    overpay for something that you find useful than to underpay for something that is useless to you.
    if you focus too much on the price you might be slower to see the bigger picture.
