Doesn't something have to give? Either gold comes down or silver goes up?

You can follow the herd. I'll be myself.

I do think it may well go up from here but I read your post to be implying that you made a good move buying it 3 years ago which implied you had done well with it so far.
Your math seems flawed though, it isn't just a question of quantity but I am sure you know that.

Read post #81 in the same thread. I sold a lot during that time.

If you like gold, buy gold. The point of my question remains the same. What would you rather be holding right now? 50K in gold? 50K in silver? 50K in some other investment of your choice? Or 50K in high grade cards?

In the thread I linked, the OP had probably 100+ suggestions of cards to invest in. I was the only one that suggested an alternative to cards. Whose investment advice looks better right now? My overall point is, I don't mind being out on that limb all by myself as Peter suggested.

Not 50K in CLCT stock. Down over 9% today. I guess someone thinks they’re going to have a problem.

Even more of a reason why it has plenty to fall. Volume slightly higher than normal but any kind of real selling looks like it will crush the price.
