    Silver coins

    Silver (and gold) keep going up. If silver hits $25/oz, I should sell those silver coins I've saved since high school.

    Unless you're real hungry, keep saving.

    I have seen the value rise over the decades only to fall down again to about 50% of the high numerous times.
    I should sell at $25 then buy back at $15

    I'm in the same boat.. I have lots of silver coins & bars of varying weight, my great uncle used to give me one for my birthday every year for 20+ years until he passed on and I've bought a few of my own. I've been looking at those prices and it's tempting to sell. I'll probably wait, it's a pretty solid investment, even if the price does drop a bit.

    Young whippersnappers. There wasn't no such thing as your fancy silver coins when I went to high school. No sir, back in my day, coins was made of stone, like God intended, and about three feet in diameter. Had to roll 'em to the store to pay for for a pound of mammoth meat then roll the change back home and it was uphill both ways.

    Kids these days have it too soft.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Whatever we could get. Couldn't be picky back in them days. We were lucky if we ate before a sabertooth tiger or cave bear ate us.

    I like the way the gold buyer commercials paint women's old gold jewelery as yucky, out of style, wouldn't be caught dead with that shit, old, dried, bodily secretions, unpleasant memories, dust mites, bed bugs, etc, etc.
