I know a guy whose ex-girlfriend ran off with $14k that he had saved up. I asked if he was going to try to get back with her to get it back but he stated that because he cheated on her causing the breakup that he wouldn't ask her for the money back

Not physical silver in my collection but stocks and etfs - works alright as part of the portfolio

Stuck in limbo, pretty much. Had no idea I'd been such a terrible husband all these years but apparently we had different goals the whole time.

Prayers are much appreciated but I'm hanging in there.

I had a bunch of silver coins and gave them to my dad for money I owed him. They are worth three times as much now. Nice investment he made

how much did you owe him? Why did you owe him? Did you have a gambling problem? He may leave them to you in his Will when he goes to Heaven... IYou should bring it up to him the next time you and him go and play pickleball

You used to say you will always pick up pizza for your kids and your wife sells as well.
Sorry to hear she took all the silver,a friend of mine ,his ex wife took all the gold they bought overseas when they travelled together,now she is dead .

I only know of one woman who collects sterling silver jewelry back then when everyone wants gold.

Sorry to hear that phaz - I had something similar to that middle of last year - when I was injured, the opportunity came up for her to cause issues...

I should of convinced him to buy the gold sovereigns that I ended up selling

Interesting read about why titanium is not following the metals trend

agent006140 · #21 01-24-2026

Not titanium, aluminium and copper will be next,but silver and gold get more retail attention.With Trump throwing his weight around,tariff ,no tariff,take over Venezuela,Greenland,Cuba,it turns everyone off,their central banks are now replacing US dollars with gold as their bank reserve.
And they are losing interest biddiing in our weekly Treasury auctions,makes no difference if Powell cuts rates,rates for our long and medium debt will not decline !

Copper already on the rise - we'll see how long this plays out
