@DaveTaylorNews @ABCBullion Noble numismatics around the corner. Empty.

Huge gold queue in Sydney ⁦@ABCBullion⁩

Please do not FOMO but I need to tell you all that I very much like Gold under $4,500 Might get more bought under $4,000 (even $3,700) but not holding my breath This is a long-term wealth HODL position Is there a chance to buy at sub $4k. Maybe, but doubtful $XAUUSD

@Degenteel_ Get some rest Pam, you look tired. Bourne series 👌

What movie have you seen more than 7 times (reply with a quote) ?

@Nostre_damus @account_blown As Grant Williams says @ttmygh he’d give up gold for a Sydney waterfront property not because the gold price is high, but because the asset on the other side of the exchange is something he values more at that moment. 👍 Swapping a hard asset for a hard asset 👌

@account_blown never, it's money

So if I bought gold for $1300 when do I sell it? Now? $7000? $10,000? Never? What am I supposed to do with these metals? I didn’t think this far ahead.

@DebraG_Robins Is that your fave Aussie O&G play?

Added more $WDS

Yo Fleck, nice call!

@ausbtcclub Same! Brisbane CBD. Horrible!

In 2016, we had the choice of: Purchasing an investment property 7km from Melbourne CBD. Join the Australian dream. Purchase the NAS100 ETF $QQQ (top 100 US tech stocks). Purchase Bitcoin. We went with the investment property using up our $150,000 deposit. INCOME: Property generates a rental return of about $22,000 per year or $176,000 over the period. NASDAQ would have generated a dividend yield often 0.9% or $1,350 per year. Bitcoin does not generate a dividend or cash yield. CAPITAL GAINS: The property sold in April 2024 for $830,000 or a capital gain of $140,000. A 93% return on the deposit. NASDAQ QQQ would have been worth $692,000 AUD in April 2024, a 361% return on the deposit. Bitcoin would have been worth $17.3 million in April 2024, a 11,400% gain on the deposit. EXPENSES: (Total amounts over the period) Investment Property: Land tax: $7,200 Council rates: $19,200 Stamp duty: $36,470 Management fees: $11,450 Leasing advert: $5,000 Insurance: $10,400 Maintenance: $4,000 Sale commisssion: $15,000 Conveyancing: $3,000 Electrical and gas tests: $4,000 Mortgage fees: $3,160 Mortgage interest: $144,000 Total expense: -$262,800 NASDAQ ETF $QQQ: 0.18% per annum or about $1,245 at the highest valuation of the fund. 1% sale commission: $6,920 (Selling $692,000 worth) BITCOIN Self custody wallet: $400 Bitcoin node: $500 Backup steel: $250 0.18% sale commission: $30,690 (Selling $17.2 million worth) TOTAL RETURNS Investment Property: Income: $176,000 Capital Gain: $140,000 Expenses: -$262,000 Net gain: $54,000 or 36% gain over 8 years. NAS100 $QQQ Income: $10,800 Capital Gain: $542,000 Expenses: $16,880 Net gain: $535,920 or 356% gain over 8 years BITCOIN Income: $0 Capital Gain: $17,050,000 Expenses: $41,070 Net gain: $17,008,930 or 11,339% gain over 8 years. One choice. Two were life changing. One was a burden and headache. We chose burden and headache. Don't make our mistake.

GOLD is insurance. SILVER is the alarm bell.

Best edit yet 😂🤣👌

Seth Klarman on Margin of Safety "The idea of a margin of safety protects you, and in a way, it also fuels future gains. By not losing unimaginable amounts during a bad period, you are able to play offense during that bad period when other people are having to sell or unable to buy"

Warren Buffett retires today, most likely in his mind at the closing bell, just minutes from now. Congratulations to the greatest investor the world will ever know. The returns speak for themselves - Berkshire earned 6,118,651% or 19.9% annually over his 60 years running the company. The S&P 500 returned 46,491%, or 10.4%. Berkshire’s shares could decline by 99.2% and still have outperformed the market. The record is even greater when including the partnerships he ran through 1969. However, it is not the returns but the way Warren did it that matters most; with integrity and morality - and with humility and humor. He didn’t have to teach, but he did. On behalf of so many of us, thank you, sir.

You dont realize how much location controls your life until you leave...

@SaraEisen @PeterSchiff will tell you why

Silver prices shoot higher adding to gains, now up 165% this year Why????

👏👏

Interesting take

What looks like a bull market in gold is really a bear market in trust.

@BLSHigh What Aussie oil and gas producers are you looking?

#Gold #Silver miners… 🔥🔥🔥

In this year-end wrap-up, Craig Hemke sits down with Eric Sprott to unpack why gold and silver are heading into 2026 in a way that looks nothing like past cycles. This isn’t a replay — it’s a regime shift. @TFMetals 🔑 Key Takeaways: 🔹 The ability of banks to control price discovery is weakening — in gold and now silver 🔹 Physical silver demand is colliding with limited, inflexible supply 🔹 Paper markets are under growing stress as delivery matters more than leverage 🔹 Asia is playing a larger role in price discovery than New York or London 🔹 This isn’t 1980 or 2011 — the structure of the market has fundamentally changed 🎥 Watch the full conversation: sprottmoney.ca/blog/eric-spro… Eric Sprott’s message is blunt: gold remains the foundation, but silver is where the imbalance is most extreme, and where upside could become explosive as shortages meet real-world demand. #Gold #Silver #EricSprott #PreciousMetals #SoundMoney #MarketOutlook #SprottMoney

This looks crazy but fundamentally this is not even a high bar to hit
