$ Gold -

[Carlos Weston Chantor]

Have you ever heard about gold? It is a nice looking yellow metal which is valuable. It looks like this:

Pictured is pure 24k gold which is noticably much nicer than the usual 14k jewelry

I've been buying gold regularly for some time now as gold is nice and it is also a good investment. Wearing gold jewelry also makes men look cool like Tony Soprano. I have some coins and bars too as buying investment jewelry can be hard outside of the US

I am interested in your opinion about gold. Personally, I like gold and would like to have more gold

 

[Kanuckski]

I would like to have more gold too, fren.

I like gold.

I've a Krugerrand and a small pile of Sovereigns.

Did someone say gold???

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

Gimme dat gold.


As I said in another thread I was obsessed with the idea of reclaiming gold from old computer parts.

I even found a forum with like minded people and bought a CD-R with instructions on how to go about it and a recipe to make aqua regia, which is the only mixture known to dissolve noble metals.

The problem is that shit is pretty dangerous if not handled properly, so I never got to making any.

I still might sometime in the future. I like the idea of making my own bar of gold.

Anybody like silver too. I like silver too. But I like gold better because its best utility is that it lasts forever and isn't required for raw material processing. Silver is used in a lot of industrial material while gold doesn't need to be. I like that because it has one specific use and it's bling bling.

Gold from computers is extremely negligible, and is only viable from very old ram and processors, maybe some GPU fingers as well, but the amount you extract is small, so you need like a gallon of electronics waste for it, and any mercury inside will contaminate the extraction process, and the only way to extract mercury out of the gold-mercury amalgam is to burn it off, which is horribly toxic

 

[Erika Furudo]

I prefer silver, I think silver looks much nicer than gold. Unfortunately I live in the UK and silver is used in industry, so buying it comes with a 20% VAT added on, unlike gold. Unforunately gold is also expensive as fuck. It would be nice if the bitcoin meme made gold a bear market, but alas it hasn't happened.

For those who have invested in PM, are you planning to hold forever or just flip for a profit?

A great job opportunity for pajits

This is an interesting idea, I've heard of people doing a similar thing but with rare earth metals. Some of them are more valuable than gold.

Palladium reclaiming might be profitable as well since if hydrogen energy ever gets popular palladium prices would skyrocket

 

[HOMO FOR LIFE]

I would sooner bet nukes being more popular than hydrogen. In the end everyone is betting everything except oil which I think is hilarious since none of those have any comparative efficiency and ease of use as oil.

Which is why it will never happen

I'm planning to hold until after the currency becomes worthless, which seems all but inevitable at this point. My staple right now is "junk silver" pre-65 coinage more than the pure bullion. Haven't branched out into gold just yet.

 

[world of shit]

I like Gold, I own a stack of gold coins and a few bars. I like to take them out and look at them.
I own much more silver. I also like looking at them.
As far as investments go, Gold is an excellent way to not lose money, or make money. Unless you're already stupid rich.
My friend's dad does well with Gold, but he plays around with min 500k bids.

Been buying gold and junk silver in roughly equal value amounts for the past year. Every tax refund, every rebate, every stimulus. If they're gonna BRRRRRRRRRRRR the $ into oblivion, I'm gonna have at least something to show for it.

Last Sunday I dropped all my Bidenbucks on fractional gold,

I'm looking at picking up some gold bullion for long-term holding. There's a shop in my town that sells a variety of bullion coins, and the prices are competitive with online sellers. For the 1 oz coins, there is a fairly large price difference between the coins. The American Eagle and Buffalo are the most expensive while the South Korea Chiwoo, Australia Kangaroo, UK Britannia and the Krugerrand are among the cheapest. From the perspective of long-term value preservation, is there much of a difference between these? Are the American coins more expensive because they're more liquid? Or is it OK to just grab whatever is cheapest? Or maybe get a mix of coins?
