I'm not sure that PMs are the thing to be buying right now. They've been stuck in a narrow range forever and haven't tracked inflation at all. Gold should be over $4,000 now. After Bidet did that thing with Venmo (or whatever it was) making any transaction reportable to the IRS above $600, there's no reason to believe that he wouldn't do that with PMs.
If the shit hits the fan, I doubt my local coin dealer Solly would be around in a civil war type scenario. Shipping PMs is a hassle and expensive as hell to insure it.
IMHO, silver would be a better bet now. At $22/oz, it has some utilitarian value for trade and IMO has more upside potential to hold. How often do you buy something for $1,800 per whack? My mechanic, Chip, notwithstanding.
FWIW, Costco's prices were about the same as Apmex when I checked yesterday. It wasn't a deal.
I'm not sure what people are thinking. That playing games with the cashback on a credit card is some real cheesedick loser shit. I'd be more worried about food and water and how the hell I'm gonna flush my toilets if I was Mr. Average Citizen.
I hadn't had a steak for weeks, maybe a couple of months, because my wife refuses to buy anything that she considers grossly overpriced, and nowadays that's most things at the grocery store.
So a couple of weeks ago I decided to celebrate some minor victory or achievement here -- can't remember just what it was, but it seemed to do -- with a good steak. So I drove myself to town (like Esso, I don't get outside of the wire much these days) to buy myself a rib-eye steak to grill. Had to buy a two-pack; they didn't have a single.
$41 for two no-so-thick steaks!
All that said, I'm thankful that I can still afford an occasional steak. I know that there are a lot of people who can't.
I cook over lump charcoal average of five days of the week I do steaks when I don't have time to slow cook brisket or leg quarters. my 14 hens keep me in eggs to eat and enough to sell to buy their next meals.
better still one of the hens went broody so I let a couple of my roosters run with the hens in about ten more days I'll see what becomes of the fifteen eggs she is sitting on.
About 15 years ago one of our hens that we thought we had lost led about a dozen chicks up from the woods.
I thought those domesticated chickens had lost the brooding instinct. Maybe your chickens have gained some back, especially seeing as they were out in the woods. ;)
“There is a tide in the affairs of men Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat; And we must take the current when it serves, Or lose our ventures.” ― William Shakespeare , Julius Caesar (Act IV, Scene III)
Ya know? When I bought the clown car and signed up for my SS retirement benefits, I knew I was gonna be giving Chip a lot of money.
I hadn't planned on making him a billionaire, though. ;)
(Edit) I'm havin' fun though. Every time I see Chip, he calls me "Sunshine" (Sardonic). He thought I was a deaf/mute for several years when I was at one of his two shops with Rainman.
I have two Silverado 1500s sitting in my driveway -- a 2002 and a 2004. Daughter #5 gave us back the 2004 when her husband bought her a Rav4 last year. (We had given it to her as a wedding gift two years earlier.) Fixed it up to sell -- one or the other. A LOT of work. But I just can't make myself sell one of them. Because as soon as I sell one of them, I know the other might give up the ghost. And trying to find another good used truck at a decent price in Bidenstan would be like trying to buy a rib- eye steak without selling the house, or trying to wash an Ethiop white.
