when I got up about 5 am, I could buy silver rounds for about $14.52 per ounce delivered.

But I needed to balance my check-book etc & figure out how much I had to spend.

by the time I drank my coffee, prices were up AND so were premiums.

oh well, back to paying off debt.

I collect both silver and gold coins. They do cycle up and down, but will always retain some value, ever when fiat currencies become worthless.

If i had money in the bank should i leave it, pay pff credit cards, pay off vehicles or just hold it in hundreds?

unless you are VERY lucky, local banks may run short of C-notes. not enough paper out there for everyone to get their cash out. a run on the banks will produce MUCH more harm, both long & short term. probably some enterprising counterfeiters working overtime to scam folks out of their twenties/fifties even as we speak...

ALthough I speak English quite well, I absolutely do not undertand what you want to say with this. I understand each word seperately, but not the meaning of all the words together. Could you explain to a non native English speaker? (I am dutch speaking)

The reason I prepped is simply to avoid having to go in crowded places like supermarkets. I figure, the more distance I keep from people, the less chance I have of getting infected. I have always been very susceptible to infections like flu, or sinusistis or the common cold or angina. Mainly because I come from the South(Italy) and I live in a cold country (Belgium). I always have vitamin D deficiency and need to take it as a supplement so I don't get sick too often from octobre to april. But Octobre -APril for me is always a risky period even without this corona crap. So I want to minimize chances of getting that disease. I don't have time for it LOL. Now is the time to start prepping my vegetable and fruit gardens for the spring/summer :D

i don't think we're coming to the world's end
but this is a pretty good test
just find it ironic that the precious metals are falling on their faces at this moment

You can't eat or wipe your ass with gold and silver, the real money maker right now is toilet paper stocks, ironically most stocks will be toilet paper in another week or two.

Google stock is the new gold as everyone sits around googling their symptoms, and porn.

end of the world isn't helping the precious metals

I sometimes wonder what would happen if the End of the World was announced, yet nobody paid any attention to the declaration.

Would extra time be granted by the Grand Umpire in the Sky, or would the historic event simply be cancelled due to lack of interest ?

Dow Jones Collapses Because New York Is Now Wuhan
Wuhan went into complete lockdown after 500 confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus Covid-19. New York City is now dangerously close to that same figure.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) crashed as the U.S. stock market skidded into the first set of circuit breakers.
The rapid spread of Covid-19 will put the financial capital of the world on lockdown.
New York now has a similar number of cases as Wuhan when the Chinese city was first shuttered.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) crashed deeper into bear market territory on Monday. The U.S. stock market plunged at the opening bell, triggering circuit breakers to halt trading.

I want to buy shares in the UK's rarest commodity. Toilet roll.

But seriously, I have a few quid and wish I understood all this. It seems that buy now, then sell in a year, must have a return of some magnitude. 5%? 50%? I don't get points at all

Romney to propose giving every U.S. adult $1,000
Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, said Monday that he will propose a provision that would give every U.S. adult a $1,000 check in any additional coronavirus relief measure that Congress considers.

"Every American adult should immediately receive $1,000 to help ensure families and workers can meet their short-term obligations and increase spending in the economy," his office said in a press release. "Congress took similar action during the 2001 and 2008 recessions. While expansions of paid leave, unemployment insurance, and SNAP benefits are crucial, the check will help fill the gaps for Americans that may not quickly navigate different government options."

Nooooo!!!! Politics rears it's ugly head.

House coronavirus package hits snag

The Senate will return to Washington Monday to work on a multi-billion dollar coronavirus package, but the bill remains hung up in negotiations between Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the White House, according to multiple Capitol Hill sources.

The Senate is expected to take up this week the massive bipartisan emergency package from the House to address the pandemic, after canceling its week-long recess. But much uncertainty remains over timing and logistics, despite mounting public pressure and the stock market taking a serious hit as the global pandemic continues to spread and daily life in the U.S. is severely disrupted.

Wash your pecker and avoid strange people as usual. :biggrin:

And there you have it folks.

Words to live by in these times of trouble and strife.

Wait minute though... Some of my best friends are strange people, AND I only stocked enough bog roll to last a decade, on account of losing the rest to masked muggers in the Walmart parking lot.

What would Hunter S. Thompson have made of recent developments ? "Zombie Apocalypse Fear and Loathing" might be the title of his latest work in progress right about now, if he were still around.
