1. 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?

2. 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.

3. Another precious metal to consider right now is lead.

   1. Don’t forget copper and brass.

4. U.S. Dollar index as of 08-01-2020 8:13 PM – 93.46

   1. 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.

5. Thank You for your monthly post.

   Please consider a bi-monthly post!

   1. Hi, Thecollector!
      That would be up to Jim, but my workload is probably too crowded to make it bi-monthly!
