WhiteWonder 2,824 Posted June 24, 2016 Early returns say they're leaving but it's very close. Guess I should've gotten out of the market. why? if brit leaves the euro union, why would it have a strong impact on our markets? wouldnt the same products and services from the brits that do make up a % of our markets still make up that same %? its not like we would stop importing tea (just a random funny example) because they left the union.... the only real impact would be a decline in the pound and the euro and fluctuating exchange rates...

titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745 Posted June 24, 2016 So the pound took a nosedive I saw. I have no idea what this European league of extraordinary gentleman is really or why it matters. The major factor, I would think, is that the EU created a tariff free zone and free movement of people. Any EU citizen could move wherever and work. Now Europe is free to tariff British products I assume. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,824 Posted June 24, 2016 Brexit yes should see the pound get pounded and the euro lose value relative to the dollar. Brevit no would have been he preferred outcome but and drastic dip in our markets due to a Brevit yes will be short lived I think (early trading had the dow off less than 500 versus the sky is falling 650). I think it's mostly due to uncertainty and the impact of brits decisions is really minimal and they can't actually leave he union until 2018. Short term, a bullish dollar etf might be a good investment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now Europe is free to tariff British products I assume. Why would they? England could do the same, and England is a huge consumer. Better for both to let that one lie. Same with free movement. The EU needs England for trade so it's in everyone's best interest to come to an agreement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taking about 60% of my savings right now and buying silver before it goes over $20 an ounce. Everyone else should do the same, no telling what it will be at in a week, definitely not going down though. If you guys would have checked out the post I made a week or two ago, you would have seen this coming and made some $$$ with me.

tanatastic 2,062 Posted June 24, 2016 Lol at the silver talk. Like some piece of scrap metal will be so great. So If I go back to my silver dealer he will just fork over more cash than he sold the silver to me for in the first place just beacuase some tv ticker says it went up? Not how business works brah, he will tell you to pisz off and take your doorstoppers elsewhere, he has a business to run. Who buys high? "b-b-but its worth more now, see?"

"b--b-b-but get the fock out of my store Ahole!". Actually, yes. businesses that buy and sell silver generally are not in the business of speculation. They go roughly by the current value of whatever precious metal you're selling or buying. Silver has commercial use so your door stopper theory is way off. So someone selling silver today is not going to be able to ask for 25 an ounce because they believe that's what the price will be. And dealers can't really sell for that either. Now a dealer may actively try to buy up as much silver while prices are low because hes speculating it will go up but he can't build that target price into his actual negotiations Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I cant pay my rent by handing cool looking embossed bars of silver to my landlord tho. I want to know who I physically walk over to and hand the metal to in exchange for more than I purchased it for. Why would mr metalk salesman take a bath on the silver he sold to me cheaper last month? People only buy things they can resell for even more. Why would he gamble on that? I donno, this is something I am very ignorant about. I wish I knew how to have my money make money, but I dont. I just know shuffling my money between commercially sold hunks of metal and never cashing it in does not give me bank account numbers that let me pay my rent. It just gets me more or less hunks of metal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mmmmm...beer 812 Posted June 24, 2016 I put 200k from retire.entry into our "F" Fund last week. It's essentially AGG (bonds). When everything else plummeted today... I'mean up $.60+ a share or a bit over a half percent... I know all of us watching enough who pulled out of the market last week are really wondering how deep this will tumble into next week so we can dive headfirst back in on the rally... but as I'm in Europe starting next Wednesday for 2 weeks I'mean not going to focking with it and may just keep it all in bonds. Ordering Euros for my trip today... going to wait to exchange until next week before we go. Want to see how well the dollar is going to even out with the euro...

As risky as any stock. How about all those people who bought their silver, physical or otherwise years back when it was way up in the 50s per ounce? The one flaw with your money is paper argument is that the value of precious metals go up and down just like anything else including the dollar. Unfortunately yu can't go purchase a new car or something with silver bars. So until you cash out your silver youve really only made theoretical profits or "paper profits" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
