    I wanted the version in the card, I couldn't find it any dealer. And the problem with ordering from UK would probably remain.

    As usual this is a made up story. Gold would not behave like this quite out of the blue on a Sunday night on the basis of 'hopes of lower rates sooner.' Who does he think he is kidding?
    This is code for I don't know why the hell this happened but i need to say something to look like i know what i am doing.
    The word is a central bank came in at the open and bought BIG on the spot market. This resulted is a massive spike in price. This then caught a lot of traders out and we had huge numbers of margin calls in futures. Short positions are forcibly closed and so it snowballs as they are bought back.
    Now which central bank and why they should do a Sunday night raid i am not privy to but that is why we saw what we saw. 
    What is encouraging is that was a big spike - so either the order size was off the charts or there isn't any gold out there - i have previously heard there isn't any gold out there.

    stackspot reacted to ChrisSilver in MEMBER BANNED - Trading Feedback manipulation   
    With the help of some TSF members, which I will keep anonymous in order to help protect the community when investigating potential future instances, and some admin investigation...

    We have today banned a new member who was found to be abusing/manipulating the trading feedback system to create false feedback on trades that never took place on TSF.

    The decision to ban was also made as we also believed that this person could have posed a potential trading risk to TSF members. TSF prides itself on having one of, if not the, most honest online marketplaces for trading precious metals. This year alone there have been over 5046 new trade topics started, with many trade topics containing huge lists of precious metals items for sale. Many thanks for those members who choose to buy and sell on TSF. 

    Please do see the following topic and re-read to remind yourself on some simple tips in order to help reduce risk as much as possible when trading on TSF:

    Have you seen green gold? The colour is formed by alloying gold with trace amounts of silver and cadmium.
    It was popular in jewellery during the Art Nouveau period (and imo looks rather stunning when done correctly).
    As an example, the leaves in this piece are green gold.

    I was just going on the photos. I've never seen one in hand. They look gold on the photos.
    I saw a 2022 sovereign in the flesh a few months ago and the colour was as ghastly as I remember from the 2000 half sovereign I used to have. The modern ones are just not nice. Nothing beats a Vicky or George V sovereign, or even a Gillick.

    Recently, the IMF published a working paper on the use of gold as international reserves. Working papers are just research in progress and do not represent any kind of official policy on the part of the IMF, but it is interesting that the IMF is following this. An interesting table from the report is this:

    stackspot reacted to SilverPlatinum in Rhodium unique metal characteristics.   
    I have been doing a research on Rhodium to justify the current high price of this special metal. I have found the below info, please add anything you can think of.
    Rhodium unique metal characteristics:
    1***  The 2nd highest metal reflective of light (visible spectrum). But since It does not corrode or tarnish by the atmosphere at room temperature therefore it can be the 1st reflective of light (because silver tarnishes in room temperature). Here are the top 3 reflective metals at different wavelengths spectrum:
    1) Silver.
    2) Rhodium.
    3) Platinum.
    This is why they plate some Jewelry with Rhodium (since silver would tarnish, and Platinum is just a slightly lower in reflection than Rhodium at some wavelength spectrum).
    2*** It conducts electricity better than any other platinum-group metal (PGMs) which are Platinum, Palladium, Rhodium, Ruthenium, Iridium, and Osmium. This is why it's used in a critical devices like the heart pacemakers and spaceships devices.

    3*** Of the three precious metals (Rhodium, Platinum and Palladium) currently used in vehicle catalytic converters, Rhodium has by far the highest activity for the removal of nitrogen oxides (NOx) from the exhaust. It also has very high activity for the oxidation of hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) and very good resistance to the poisons present in the exhaust.

    4*** Swiss researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and the ETH Zurich developed a new chemical process that uses the sun's thermal energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into high energy fuels. This chemical process involves a new material combination of cerium oxide and small amounts of Rhodium as a catalyst. Their discovery is a major step toward the chemical storage of solar energy (which has been a very tricky problem for scientists).

    stackspot reacted to GoldDiggerDave in A safe place to park 100k?   
    Cash out, down size and become mortgage  free if you are not all ready.  It's nice to have investments and look like a finical whizz sometimes the most boring and conservative actions will serve you better in the long term.   Paying off all debt is a life changer and no one owns you.
    We are all programmed to think we are better off when we earn more money,  the reality we are far more better off when we are paying less out.  I look at reducing outgoing as increasing my income value.    
    Money is not fungible like it's  taught.   A £10 note in ones persons hands is not worth £10 in the next persons when you look at income/outgoings ratio. 
    £10 in my hands =  3.33% of my monthly outgoings commitment 
    £10 in my friends hands = 0.66% of his monty outgoings 
    He needs to earn £50 per hour to everyone of my £10 per hour just to keep the same ratio.  
    I know some people with great jobs earning loads but their outings are moronic and what for a 4x4 and a bigger house?    We make ourselves slaves no one else needs to do it for us.
