I couldn't help it...

Dug out my holdings (I forgot how HEAVY a $500 face bag of 90% junk silver is), poured all 188 of my 1oz. rounds into a pile and just ran my fingers through them a couple of times.

Oh... and I checked to make sure my Krugerrands hadn't gotten lonely...


AAAAAAaaaaand... to keep this sorta on-topic:

I was asked once "how are you securing all that silver?"
I looked him dead in the eye and said "With lead."

He got a quizzical look on his face for a moment, then sobered up rather quickly as understanding sunk in.

Oooh, you have more precious metal holdings than I do. I really need to just get in the habit of buying an ounce of silver every payday....

Great; now when we hear the S.V. Libertarian has gone down, we'll know why!

All the gold I brought back from SE Asian in the 60s went when it hit $800 an ounce, long ago. The 2200% profit was good enough for me. Of course the wife spent most of it, but then again it was "free" money. But I still have a couple of the items she bought, so I'm good.

I'll just dig out all the internal ballast and replace it with silver. Or cases of surplus 7.62x54r.

I wish I could get paid in gold pieces. Reading that part of Atlas Shrugged gave me chills.
