This seems as good a place as any to comment on this. There is something very strange happening with precious metals.
For yrs, a couple of times a week, I'd check in on precious metals prices by going to Apmex or Monex. Monex is quick and easy to see the prices for gold and silver.
I don't know how recent this trend has started, but when you want to buy silver for instance, it's very difficult to find where you can buy just a couple dozen coins. And most telling, they don't give you a per coin cost. Just the total amount for say 100 coins.
Go toAmerican Silver Eagle Coins
Sold in Quantities of 100
$3691, 36
Similar situation with Gold.
And Gold BTW zoomed past $2500 to $2670 in a very short time. In Mid October last year gold was at $ 1840 an ounce. So $800 rise in just one year.
We close.
