Buy enough PSLV shares to take delivery.

Posting charts again.

Also, Blue Lagoon has been pretty quiet lately but I just read that much of the work needed to reopen their Dome Mountain mine will be done by April. That should be pretty good timing for the company to get some cashflow.

A relationship with a coin shop is a good thing to have. I have bought all my gold from there, because a 10$ difference per ounce vs online is worth it to me.

Is there anything better in life?

I agree but I still wouldn't expect him to bring it up out of his own self interest. And again, I don't fault for it

It's like if I were to start telling everyone that Anime figurines are a bad investment to all my twitter followers when most of my net worth sits in anime figurines.
Very silly.

Coins - usually produced by government mints like US Mint, Royal Canadian etc.

Rounds - Usually by private mints like Asahi, etc. Lots of bullion companies print their own.

Currency.

From the US Mint:

"American Eagle Silver Bullion Coins are affordable investments, beautiful collectibles, thoughtful gifts and memorable incentives or rewards. Above all, as legal tender, they’re the only silver bullion coins whose weight and purity are guaranteed by the United States Government. They’re also the only silver coins allowed in an IRA."

Fun fact that I've learned, and would like confirmation from other anons -

If you're in a situation where you have to dip out of the country and need a way to get around the >$10,000 limit reporting that most countries impose on currency, you would not declare the Silver or Gold value of the coin, but the actual face value. Silver Eagles are $1, and Gold eagles are $25.
So you could waltz across the border with $800k worth of Gold in coins, sell them at your destination and live like a king.

By the way for those long on First Majestic they have their own bullion store.

Wouldn't really help with the squeeze because they DON'T supply the Comex, but it's like paying yourself back if you're a bagholder.

I'm mostly joking (although I have a few Gs in both), but realistically you'd profit from it the same way you would any collectible.

Some daki covers for example are limited run or only sold at conventions, not online, so for the foreign buyer they're pretty much out of reach. Nowadays you have forwarding services, and people who will basically stand in line to buy it for you, but they come at a cost. I have a retarded friend with $200k in student debt but about 50k worth of pillow cases but he has a guy who makes a living doing just that - going to cons or acting as a forwarding service to foreign buyers. Some figurine are only available on Japanese-only stores, but lots of companies already exist to bridge that gap.

It's kind of a crapshoot on what will appreciate in value and what won't sometimes, but generally the overhyped series that are popular with normies and get few figurines have a pretty solid second-hand market. Idol figures by some top tier manufacturers like Alter also so.
Then you have the weird outliers like figurine that are cast-off but weren't advertised as such and and it only gets found out after release, etc.

That figure I posted cost me about $170 4 years ago, and just doing a quick search I can see places selling it for 240-250 now. Most of my figures have either appreciated in value or have kept their value.

Not a recommended investment strategy though.

Picrel basically sells for double what I bought it for 18 months after release.
