Thanks to FF and TMBTL for the advice. I bought so many years ago, I had lost touch with whom was best to trade with. Both were efficient and reasonable in terms of offers. Gold is sellable anywhere, silver again no problem but too bulky to rucksack if you have even a low 1000s stash, platinum harder to find a buyer but HGM were good and offered fair. COVID-19 means slow progress in waiting for the small ATS office to be clear (only one customer at a time).

I am currently bullion-free for the first time since college years, which was many many years ago, but I have more urgent need for the money. (in those days, grants still existed a bit and you were deducted any cash savings in your award, so I used to buy Britannias from summer work and declare no cash savings)     

did you find anywhere that offered good prices for buying gold there ?

How do they transfer the cash ?

Is it immediate into the bank account or cash in hand ?

Looks like the sharp rises of the past two weeks are coming to an end, and it is plateauing around 1970-1980.

What next  ?

Barring any exceptional news - it looks like its run its course for now. For this to be sustainable - it needs to retest and consolidate. I think that's it until September.

I reckon you are a factor of 10 out. 1500 = 46.7kg, still very heavy mind!

Unless you mean those big 10oz coins and I’ll give it to you ?

I'm a child of the 70's so I stumble between metric and imperial but I do know that 1,000ML is a mile ??

I’ve said. While everyone got uber bullish, I’ve been saying 1800US, after 2000 test, maybe lower. Then 2500-3000 next year.

Sold half my miners in last week.

I'm still hopeful for a reasonable pullback.... My timing has always been sh1te & really want to avoid buying at the current 'height'.

I've got a fair bit of money sitting on the sideline as well... I think it will - but these are exceptional times considering the government have seized dictatorial powers with the Coronavirus Act 2020...

Retest and consolidate what?

Short answer = price. Long answer = when a price point breaks through long term resistance, that line of resistance won't become support until the price is retested. It means the price pulls back to the same level and bounces higher again. The new line in the sand has to hold. A consolidation is where it sits patiently above that price point so the gains are less pronounced over time and then it should go higher again at a later point.

I'm in a similar position... All currency sitting in the bank, making me feel slightly uneasy, as I wait impatiently... I agree these are exceptional times but 2008 was an exceptional time too so I'm hopeful things will follow a similar path giving us a final buying opportunity before catapulting on the next leg up...

If there is any sort of manipulation, which there is in the PM markets (at least in the paper market), then there can't be any retest and consolidate though.

Just look at a chart, you can see it everywhere... either resistance becomes support or support becomes resistance as the price breaks through.

Odds are we'll get a resistible pullback... I suspect we've just seen a short term blow off top as shorts cover.

?If that's all it takes then I'll try it again... I think gold has made an interm top circa $2k (fingers crossed!)

2 'interim tops' inside a fortnight... I'll wait until tomorrow before making a commitment...? ... I'm still expecting a pullback albeit by not as much...

Really hard to say how much, but it will... So close... to $2k - I can smell it! :)
