Thanks for this excellent gold/silver report. The question still remains, buy more now just because you can, or just sit on your hands for a while?
Carl, I think that a person who is in a position to buy precious metals now, and can get them at a reasonable premium, should continue to acquire. Just remember that they are a hedge, inflation is all but guaranteed, so they should always retain some position in your investments.
I would never advocate putting all your eggs in one basket, though. Buying gold and silver while you are in debt is a bad idea. I consider my homestead my biggest investment, my stock portfolio and pension are another part, but my easily-negotiable tangibles and skills are key.
Another precious metal to consider right now is lead.
Don’t forget copper and brass.

Dollar weakness has been one important driver for gold, especially overseas. A weaker dollar allows citizens in Europe and Asia to buy gold more affordably.
Thank You for your monthly post.
Please consider a bi-monthly post!
Hi, Thecollector!
That would be up to Jim, but my workload is probably too crowded to make it bi-monthly!
