ETA: Really debating trading in some silver eagles for a gold eagle or riding this out to see how high it goes.

I'm not here to give financial advice but it all depends on your goals.
If you want to reduce encumbrance and volatility then swap just note you may be missing potential if not probable gains as silver continues to play catch up to the historical pre-financial derivative credit bubble ratios.
If you want to reduce encumbrance but are ok with the volatility then I would swap to platinum as it has the same ratio catch up play that silver does and is more likely to keep pace with silver if not in some cases outperform.

Bidding on some platinum coins in several auctions. Trying to add more platinum. I have several of the bi metal coin that's gold and platinum. About .25 oz for each metal.

Has anyone purchased ruthenium or rhodium? What are your thoughts on these metals? This auction I am looking at has a lot of unique metals I don't see often on other auctions. They have platinum, palladium, ruthenium, rhodium and of course gold and silver.

I have many ruthenium plated coins but if you are going to go that route I would recommend going to Merrick Mint as those are gorgeous pieces.
As far as rhodium goes back when I was looking at it the per oz price was $15k and it promptly went off the cliff down to $5k I see it's back to $10k but yeah glad I didn't pull the trigger there and instead opted for platinum.

Some of the videos I am watching say GSR hit 124. It was in the low 90's not that long ago. Yesterday it was 58. This morning it was 55. Now, it is 52.8.
I have been trying to come to a target to trade my small stack of silver for an even smaller stack of gold. I figure swap even with a small premium/loss by me, no blood, no foul, go home. I was sooooo wrong.
Trading silver for gold is viewed by the IRS as a taxable event. They consider that you sold your silver for whatever value in gold you got, and owe them 28% of the difference between that number and what you paid.

Out of curiosity, why would you do this? Def a novice, but Gold seems to be moving a lot slower at this point and the upside potential of Gold seems minuscule compared to Silver.
I mean, look at today. Gold up .34% and Silver up 3.3%

Great question, 81.
Throughout history, the GSR has remained fluid. It has been in single and triple digits. It will get low, then go back up. If it hits single digits, I will trade. Then, when it gets back to 40-50, I will trade back. This is all contingent on me living that long.

The GSR swap is an element of my strategy as well ….

What they say you should do and what you actually do are two different things.
Most coin shops will only worry about the IRS in cash events which in kind transfers usually do not trigger.

I am patiently waiting for DJT to do away with the IRS. He keeps saying it's coming. It will be a game changer for me, selling old stocks that have gotten fat, etc.

Silver just went over $90 an ounce.
Wow!!
Wow!!

Liquidity is starting to pour in right now too. Platinum and btc up big. The real tell for liquidity that I’ve noticed is when the btc proxies randomly start ripping before btc actually does. Massive volume and green candles for MSTR the last two days.
All that to say, it’s a good time to own hard assets.

I wouldn't be surprised to see 10k palladium within a decade.
Anyone who has an opinion on palladium vs platinum or how you might allocate to a portfolio of each, please share. I've started to buy platinum and I own SPPP for what it's worth. SPPP is a roughly 2/3 platinum, 1/3 palladium.
Everything I read makes palladium sound like it's basically a bet on ICE vehicle production but I know with hard assets there is usually more to it than you'll find in the average article online.
