I think there's still life in metals - should buy some if possible now. There's still room to go up. I wouldn't tap everything in it however but yes, some.

Understand what gold and silver are - they are not the stock market. They are what you use to hedge. When they go up, the world is not running as it's supposed to. When gold/silver are going high this fast, it's not healthy, it's trouble. The reality is, if the world is in trouble, you need something to help you out. That's what gold/silver offer. A way to help out when things aren't going right - it's your emergency fund.

If you don't see gold/silver as value added in this time of our lives, good luck. By the same token, unless the world is truly going to hell, gold/silver streaks are short term only. You'd need to buy a lot and sell it to tap the market every so often over a long period of time - that's really how you leverage the metals market. To not have that safety net is foolish and to put all your eggs into that safety net is foolish as well.

Gold again tomorrow. It’s going to skyrocket this year. It’s not too late.

Gold used to be considered the ultimate bear market. Heck, it isn't even that great as a hedge for inflation.

These clowns pushing gold and other ridiculous strategies probably have a 1-2% chance of beating the market, but have somehow convinced themselves that they will come out on top.

Yeah about that. I bought a ton in gold ETFs in Feb and am up and insane amount. No idea what you’re talking about. Gold is also beating the S&P. I like chatting with idiots on here, so yeah, sure, gold is not a good hedge for inflation lol. Gold is the ultimate inflation hedge.

Jesus Christ. When the crash comes, and it will come sooner than later. it will be like a tsunami wiping away idiocy. People simply aren’t ready. The whole fking economy is being propped up by NVIDIA and a few other companies right now.

Gold is one of the only safe bets for a crash. It ain’t gonna be Bitcoin. That’s still way too correlated to the performance of the stock market.

Why do you all think gold continues to rise? Any ideas? Do you think this is TRULY a healthy market? You really think that?

Ooozzzing with confidence

Not sure why you are shilling gold on DCUM. Sounds like a pump and dump pitch, but DCUM can't move the gold market.
Thank you for looking out for us hausfrau - I'll go look at my portfolio on AOL and see if I need more commodities. Then I'll go tend to my veg garden and feed my chickens, who will feed me during the foretold aftermath. And make sure my Flavor Aid supply is still good, in case things get really bad.

No offense, but are you some home maker that doesn’t read a mixture of finance news from wall, nytimes, wsj, etc about global trends, inflation, job conditions, general macro and micro economic trends? If so, you probably wouldn’t understand why precious metals like gold are rising. That’s okay, but it’s not because people are seeing G fking Gordon Liddy commercials on Fox and deciding they should buy a krugerrand. There’s some pretty big international developments underway which are influencing prices. This is DCUM and not a real finance forum, so I guess that tracks.

I logged onto DCUM just now specifically to see what people are saying about silver and gold news, and surprised to see how little is here. Did the AI Asian Guy reach your YT as well? I'm ignoring him but he's persistently popping up all over the place.


I bought most of mine in 2021-2024, amazed at the price of the collection now and still adding to it. Currently my favorites are pre-1921 Morgan dollars and Constitutional silver. Pretty bummed out I didn't focus on these in the past years. Post-October 2025 was my first time learning about Mercuries, Walking Liberties, Barbers. I'm enjoying building a pirate's stash. And my son and I have a competition to see who has the oldest coin in the bunch, then we look up a bit of history about that year.

Crypto is over. You have the most crypto friendly administration plus many banks adopting crypto ETFs and the best it can do this year is a several percent loss.

And you’d be completely wrong, but I want to see it, so go for it. Gold is the investment for the next couple years. I keep trying to tell you people and it should be evident, because nothing is normal right now, and we are going to cut rates and turn on the money printer, but no, you simply want to lose your money.

I've been buying Berkshire because they hold 30% in cash - I feel like they are being conservative and waiting for the right buying opportunity, which aligns with my wishes, but I'm not a professional investor, so I'd rather invest in a conservative conglomerate.

Way too high now to buy.
