Yup… Sold off a lot of my physical gold bullion back in 2011 to buy my dream car when I was stationed in Germany, but have been slowly rebuilding our stores by adding to our actual physical gold and silver over the past several years; typically one ounce coins.

That said, now that I’m twice-retired I’m finally at the point where I need to start thinking about divesting the “paper gold” assets and using the proceeds to pay off our house and/or buy more physical gold or other real assets.

I can theoretically withdraw the equity from my Sprott account as actual physical gold once I have enough in there to = one standard trade bar; or 400 ounces (25#) of gold. I’m getting there, but nowhere near that level . Or rather, I should say I was getting there. Now that I’m on a semi-fixed income, the chances of me getting the rest of the way to $1M+ (actually $1,342,000 as of today) just in my gold account is…well, highly unlikely.

Just happy I started down this path almost more than 10 years ago… But that 10% backstop I was putting into my retirement accounts has grown disproportionately large (shrunk less I suppose) vs. my other investments, and even though I’m benefiting from this turn of events, it still makes me nervous to be so imbalanced.

Or maybe this is the right approach, and I need to just roll with it…maybe even go farther down this path.

Will ponder this a bit…

Remember the USS Liberty

#neverforget ones ancestors died on foreign battlefields only to have ones own government force your children to be subjected to torment and become victims of multiculturalism pillage on your tax dollars. To continue to live, work and pay into these urban hellscapes and allow ones offspring to endure this type vile abuse and indoctrination is complete madness.

That is better than being in the toilet and the electrician shorts out the plant and you discover that management was too cheap to put emergency lights in there.

Sparky shorted 440 and blew himself across the production floor. I’m amazed that he survived.

We kinda need a Saddam-style movie theater event, where all the conspirators are called out one-by-one from a joint session of Congress and openly charged with treason.

Jesus Christ. I guess I should keep a bottle of superglue in my gear bag.

That every one before sucked is no reason to accept that the current one sucks too. It’s actually a very good reason to say “look, this AG sucks. So did the last one. And the one before that. They ALL sucked. It’s time for a change.”

Bump. It’s in the factory box ready for its new home

I should have been more clear…in the history of the country, what US AG do you think was better than Bondi. What US AG would you rather have than Bondi.

None. All the more reason not to have one at all !

This is legitimately the first post I’ve seen putting the NF above the ZCO. Interesting

I haven’t looked through the ZCO but didn’t think my 4-20 was enough of a step above my 4-16 to justify giving up the low profile turret and compact design of the 4-16. I also didn’t like the tunneling to 5.5 on the 4-20 given the use of the optic.

I haven’t owned a NF I thought was better than my 735 NF and my ZCO 527 is slightly better than that

And the current ZCO's are better than the older ZCO's...

ASGH until the people make it happen.

I ask far earlier in this thread for any of the Bondi critics to name one…just one…AG they thought was better.

Then…crickets.

Anyone that isn’t a politician. Anyone that is a common man. That’s what we need as leaders. Most of the pool they pick from has been on the hill too long and cannot be trusted.
