Silver > $30

Well, that was fun while it lasted.

I can’t tell the future but, hey, it’s an election year with a lot at stake. Might be some folks are stocking up against the possibility of continued economic fail.

Of course, it could also drop back below $30 as people see ‘$30′ as their ‘sell trigger’ and unload a buncha the stuff. Who knows?

In the meantime:

More fun with fractions

Remember those pre-scored silver bars that let you ‘make change’ in 1/4 oz. increments? Turns out there’s also a version that does it in 1/3 oz. as well. My buddy the precious metals pimp got a bunch and brought a few by to show off. While I’d seen the 1/4 ones before the 1/3 were something completely new.

Really, it would seem to me that it makes far more sense to have something like that with gold.

It rhymes with ‘ilver’

My buddy the precious metals pimp (“You cant spell ‘pimp’ without ‘pm’”) came by today and flipped a silver eagle at me. Apparently someone in the viewing audience bought some silver from him and said to push an ounce in my direction.

So, thank you very much to the benefactor who has enabled me to add to my stockpile against that upcoming rainy day. After a tough day of beating back the infected unded it’ll be nice to be able to unwind by trading a silver coin for some refreshments and adult entertainment. Much thanks!

Come to think of it, my birthday is next month (on the seventh). Time to update the Amazon wish list.
