I've never bought bullion until October after reading Synj Synj simp for it. Bought the below between Mid-Oct and Thanksgiving. I admit is kind of cool having actual coins and bars. I gave one to each of my nieces and nephews for Xmas and they thought i twas the coolest thing. Way cooler than just getting some money.

Small position as I have never bought before. I doubt I'll go hard on this. But I like having like 300 coins to give out as gifts here and there or whatever.

I purchased from APMEX as I didn't want to deal with vetting sources. It's cheaper to just up the quantity on their rounds/bars than actually buying their monster boxes. 🤔

Best I could figure just buy their APMEX stamped shit because they will buy that back at the best rate. Since they don't have to reforge or whatever it is they do. Unless you want some novelty ones just because.

For straight up investing you’re right. I do have some first strike nonsense as well as different countries and “collectible” gold and silver. Investing is personal and I liked some of the “fun” or “pretty” pieces I’ve collected even if it cost me a little bit more on premiums. But I also collected coins as a kid so there’s still a tiny bit of a numismatist in me.

Trump, during the campaign, made subtle hints about tariffs. Particuarly on his Joe Rogan interview. And now he basically wears boxing gloves labeled "TARIFFS" and punches the world with them regularly, lol. It's one part of his admin that I'm really enjoying. Especially since all the expert opinions on them were dead wrong.

I have mostly generic rounds. With a few "year of the <whatever>" rounds throw in for variety. A solid silver coin makes a treat card cover when playing poker.

Yeah, another Trump generated "buying opportunity"....
Following his standard tariff playbook.

A comprehensive step-by-step playbook to navigate Trump's trade war:​

  1. On Friday, President Trump posts a cryptic message signaling tariffs on a specific country or sector. Markets drift lower as uncertainty rises. This began on Friday when Trump threatened tariffs on Denmark
  2. Later that same day, or shortly after (in this case on Saturday), President Trump announces a large new tariff, often 25%+
  3. On Saturday and Sunday, President Trump repeatedly doubles down on the tariff threats to apply pressure while markets are closed, maximizing psychological impact
  4. Over the weekend, the countries targeted by the new tariffs typically respond publicly or signal a willingness to negotiate
  5. On Sunday evening at 6 PM ET, when futures reopen (in this case on Monday night), stock market futures drop in an initial emotional reaction to the tariff headlines
  6. On Monday and Tuesday, President Trump continues applying pressure publicly, but investors begin to recognize that the tariffs are not yet live and are still scheduled to take effect weeks later, such as February 1st (WE ARE HERE)
  7. By Wednesday of that same week, dip buyers step in and spark a relief rally, but this move often fades and leads to another push lower. This is typically where smart money begins buying
  8. On the following weekend, roughly one week later, President Trump posts that discussions are underway and that he is working toward a solution with leaders of the countries targeted by the tariffs
  9. On Sunday evening of that weekend at 6 PM ET, futures open sharply higher as optimism returns, but gains fade into the Monday cash market open
  10. After the Monday open, senior administration officials such as Treasury Secretary Bessent, appear on live television to reassure investors and emphasize progress toward a deal
  11. Over the next 2-4 weeks, various members of the Trump Administration continue to tease progress toward a trade agreement
  12. A trade deal is announced and markets hit new record highs
  13. Repeat from step #1
