Back on August 16th, I did one of the weirdest posts here ever, which was to suggest that you should go to Costco and buy as many of their silver coins as you could. I was discouraged at first, since they limited you to 5 packs (20 coins each) at a time, but I soon discovered that the restriction only applied to individual orders. Thus, day after day, I’d just place a new order for $3249.95 to get 100 American Eagle 1 ounce pure silver coins.
I’ve marked with a red circle the place where I did the post. Silver (measured here by SLV) went a little lower a couple of weeks later, but it’s clear now this was a good call, as you would easily pay 25% more for these coins now (and Costco ran out of inventory a LONG time ago, probably partly due to my post!) Anyway, it’s nice to own a bunch of this stuff, and I hope some folks took my suggestion to heart.
