That $30 in August is what halted KT from continuing His Royal Practice of purchasing rolls of silver halves! Yeah, ride that silver rocket to the moon and KT may seriously consider selling off His Royal Hoard!
Anyone investing in the controlled markets of PMs needs patience and longevity! And an ability not to get nervous when the value runs up and then drops back, just like playing the stock market. KT took his monies out of the stock market years ago as He got closer to retirement and remains satisfied with that decision. That money was placed with fixed interest accounts that were paying at that time 6% annually. It has now grown to the point that monthly KT sees a tad less than $1800 per month gain on the quarterly statement. Never touched it, but now due to His Majesty's Royal Age, the US Government wants its cut of the gains! The only thing that is for certain is death and taxes! Holds true for Royalty too!
Perhaps, but did you see the post in here on the rising price of silver coins from the US Mint? That $39.95 one ounce .999 Walking Lib is going to $60! And Silver Proof sets are hopping right up in price too! The big boys can control the price of silver to a degree but not on the consumer end! Today KT just purchased 2 of those .999 WLs and 1 Peace dollar for $85 from a forum member. So take that Mr. Mint!
