Metal premiums are Crashing! Time to give up on SILVER & GOLD?

[@58royboy]

Low spot and low premiums usually don’t hang around very long. Good time to buy.

[@JOHNBANNON-ib3cj]

Agree

[@jasonking7729]

Super seasoned stacker here! I'm happy with the buying opportunity! ❤

[@66block84]

I bought a lot of silver in the run up to $48 in 2008. I stopped at $44, my mistake was not selling at the peak. Demographics, age is another factor. I have been retired for over 5.5 years, wife couldn't have kids. I am starting to sell now so that I can travel. A lot of the guys I used to work with gave me a hard time about buying silver, my response was that stocks go up & down & some companies go out of business, but silver never stops being silver.

[@Greencloud8]

Nahhh I don’t think so the inflation is so high you would of lost money

[@jaybarr3307]

Between inflation, the increased fees, taxes, regulations, et al, people are hurting for spare cash. For many, bullion takes a back seat. I've transitioned to an 'only gold' focus now but if silver drops below $20, I'm gonna get back in for full tubes as best I'm able. BTW, I lived in Minot when I was about 5 years old. All I remember is cold, cold, cold...

[@normangage6953]

Dip in price and premium, buy buy buy! Skip a Starbucks coffee and buy dimes. Eat at home more often and buy 2 ozs. Do what you can afford and the security will be worth it. You get to play with your stack on a rainy or snowy day. Free entertainment.

[@jeremyh4327]

Things are a lot tougher out there than most analysts, at least those in the main stream, are openly admitting. I know things are harder for me personally. I've also wondered if there's now a bit of backlash against the Wall Street Silver crowd. Maybe I'm wrong, but I have wondered. In any case it's a buyers market for both metals. Thanks as always, Josh!

[@daveward1484]

Huge jumps are always followed by huge dips.

[@Fitinfifties]

This isn’t difficult to figure out. Premiums are based on demand, right now the economy and many people are financially in bad shape. Those people who are in bad shape financially are dumping silver and any other fungible asset to get cash. Dealers are taking in more than they are selling and so premiums are way down. This seems to be a good time to buy. you’re buying when there is desperation, fear and panic and you are selling when people are greedy, fomo, and premiums are ridiculous.

[@Greencloud8]

You know in reality people go to precious metals when the economy is like this

[@bobbyadkins885]

Good stuff Josh, Also Looking forward to that video you said was in the works

[@ZXC_ZXC1]

The problem with the GSR is you don't know if gold is overpriced or silver is underpriced.

[@milehighed52801]

With all the industrial use of silver specifically in the military sector, there has been times where silver was in short supply even only a year ago. I remember that dealers were saying they had no silver being sold out about 9 months ago. There are KZbin videos supporting those points. It might have dried up for a number of reasons, but I’m most concerned about silver confiscation due to the military. I just heard that it takes about 14 to 16 kilos of silver to make one Tomahawk missile! So, with that said, I’d hate to have a bunch of silver that I saved up to buy to only have it all taken away. I love to stack, but I do have my concerns. Any thoughts?

[@code1555]

Silver is my Insurance fund, now my speculation play is Sandstorm Gold Royalties of which I increased my stock position to a tad over 6500 shares. Two corner-stone royalty assets will start producing this summer that are not priced in...a Steal!

[@hombrenola]

Myself and many friends are putting our money into fractional silver, not so much for stacking purposes, but more for bartering in a SHTF scenario. Our problem is that we can't find small increment silver at a reasonable price. Premiums on 1 gram silver are unrealistic so we're researching producing 1 or 1/2 gram silver at an affordable price. We're currently buying junk silver, but if anyone has any ideas or advice on how we can cut prices on this, it will be greatly appreciated.

[@LD_Tush]

That gold Engelhard bar would look sweet next to my JM gold bar 😁👍🏻

[@billysmith6284]

Last year silver eagles were $38 dollars here.. now under $30. 😊

[@kaceydillin7367]

The best thing for silver would be to crash in price below $21 an ounce. Until then the same will keep on happening on the retail level, more sellers than buyers, dealers who slow down massively from distributors, and distributors slowing down from refiners/miners. Hence the falling premiums. Add in an economy thats destroying main street, and we get what we have. There is very little incentive to buy now, and if you do, it is absolutely a buyers market.

[@Greencloud8]

I think this is the way the government confenscats precious metals in 2024

i don't even know or pay attention if silver go up or down i have few 1oz coins and rounds couple 5oz 10oz but why i don't see 15oz or 20oz bars i like to own 1 or 2 of those johs

[@ValueOfNick]

I would love to hear your thoughts on two areas. Stacking gold vs buying pre33 gold. I’m torn between just stacking low premium gold that will always follow melt. Vs saving up for graded and non graded gold that’s pre33 and my favorite Mexican pesos. Anyways appreciate your videos from a neighboring state.

[@TheMostSlyFox]

The issue with pre 33 gold is people want 10-20% premium over melt right now, and that's for 10 and 20$ liberty heads. The premiums on 5, 2.5, and 1$ pre 33 is insane. Close to 100% for the latter.

[@minotcoinbullion]

For me personally I would choose to stack lower premium gold Bullion instead of pre-33 gold collector coins with higher premiums.

[@the1dud]

Is any of that lot for sale on the title screen? Some nice pieces there!

[@minotcoinbullion]

Yep! All for sale!

[@alicanoymak]

The usa printed lots of money in covid era , nevertheless silver prices are going down, Is there any other investment that protect us from inflation? Thanks from Turkey.

[@scotts4134]

IMO, the upcoming months will be an excellent time to buy. People are struggling financially. Therefore, the demand is low and should stay low. This will bring premiums down and obviously prices will drop as well. So I'm gearing up to buy as much as I can afford. Best of luck to all of you.

[@thetwotravelers546]

My coin shop here in Kansas is charging 8.00 to 15.00 over spot, and if I buy on line I must pay shipping which cost me way over spot. So my question is am I getting screwed, and if so how can I do better.

You surely do. I didn’t think I had any and a google search led me to my new favorite place to take my daughters and pick out treasure every Saturday. There’s another nicer looking shop but the one I go to is cheaper. 3 over spot basically price matching JM bullion and doesn’t charge extra for nuemismatic value stuff like rarer poured vintage bars. Let’s me know when I’m getting something cheap compared to actual value based on rarity. Super nice dude. Just google and surely there’s one within 50 miles of you and if not maybe you should start the first one haha I would if there wasn’t multiple decent stores in my area I haven’t even visited them all yet

Flipping gold to silver is dumb considering the premiums, even at these reduced premiums. Just buy the damn silver outright if one really believes in PMs.

[@jisskk28]

Stacking gold is dumb at the ratio of 90+ to 1. 🤪

[@lepton31415]

I just swapped some gold for silver. a no-brainer at a GSR of 90. when (not if) the GSR collapses below 15 I may swap back. but at the moment there is more gold above ground than silver. gold isn't really needed but silver is (we wouldn't have this video to watch without it). a 1:1 ratio isn't out of the question...and has happened before.

[@jisskk28]

@@lepton31415 ..yep!!

[@paulweisenbach384]

I agree, playing the gold silver ratio. Flipping back-and-forth is a very time consuming and can take years, waiting for it to get above 90 and then drop below 70 to convert back, and even at that with the premiums/supply and demand at the time, unless you are a coin dealer/shop owner that can avoid the majority of the premiums etc. just ballpark numbers, let’s say you’re dealing with a 1 ounce gold buffalo, and you convert to silver back to gold, minus the premiums and supply and demand not to mention waiting years for the ratio to drop from 90 to 70 and back up. You’re only going to save about $200 or roughly 8 ounces of silver, so yes, you can save money or a.k.a. what some people are saying, get free silver, but if that’s the road you want to take to do it, good luck to you, I just prefer to buy the dips of the metals that I am wanting at the time buy being patient, etc.

[@timgibson3754]

so you bought silver @ $27 per ounce. And now you see your chance to trade it in for an ounce of gold. 90 to 1 ratio 90 X 27 = 2430.

[@minotcoinbullion]

I believe now is a good opportunity to trade gold for silver, not silver for gold…..

[@bobsilver3983]

I buy silver nearly daily...but I mostly buy collectible stuff or rounds that I think have a design that will bring premiums in the future...it works very well for me.

[@bobsilver3983]

Matter of fact, lots of the silver I bought has been going up. I look at every new round that comes out over the years and if I think it will do well, I buy a bunch of them and none and I mean none have gone down in price. This is why I never buy Indian head/buffalo rounds, mass produced one ounce rounds, Eagles, Maples or any other gov minted stuff. I do own lots of 90% silver especially 1964 JFK's, Franklins and Walking Liberty's. Intaglio, Elemental, Norse Gods, Pirate rounds, SBSS, CMG, All-Chips, Anonymous Mint, 1970's rounds and bars etc etc.

[@Evom777]

Everything is regional. In my city, the metals never missed a beat. Yes there's highs & lows that you'd expect with any business, but it helps that we have 3 LCSs in less than a 20 mile radius, as well as good sized pawn shops and a few jewelers that deal in bullion too. Yes, there's people that are selling for the first time, but the dealers here have built up good relationships with their customers for decades......if a few 10oz bars come in, they have clients for them that are a text away. Vintage silver, generic, doesn't matter......they know who's a player for what. It's very competitive here with rates too. If any of the dealers here wanted to play it cheap and offer $3 back, good luck with that, as the person walks out and sells it to the competition 30 minutes later for more money. The one constant that I'm seeing around here with the sellers are that the majority of them are newbies......people that looked to get rich quick in the metals world and had no idea about the paper price being manipulated and detached from the actual purchase price of physical. Unfortunately there's no shortage of this mindset, as we've seen it playout with the cryptos and other things the newbie retail investor got into.

Let's pretend silver and gold go up 4x. Would numismatic value go 4x also?
