I'm pretty sure I was a pirate in a past life. I'd say I am now too however being a pirate these days is more about trying to take over tanker ships and hold them for ransom than the legitimate and righteous job of the pirates and Vikings of ye olden days; Stealing and plundering!
Anyway, I like silver, stacking it I mean, and have been doing so for a little while now. My stack is huge modest, but it is mine and I'm pleased with it, add to it when I can and roll in it keep it locked away safely with my guns. [Also precious to me]. I'm also responsible for getting a few of my team at work into stacking and we buy silver periodically throughout the year.
I had thought we were done for the year but one of them approached me last week and suggested we get our pirate on and pick some up prior to Christmas. Now, I've never needed much prompting to bring my inner pirate or Viking out from underneath my work suit and so I said, "shiver me timbers me hearty, get ye on the phone and order our pirate treasure that I can add to me treasure chest of...Treasure. Haarrr!"
And despite thinking that I was a complete wanker, he did.
We all select our own pieces depending on whatever budget we are working with and I chose a 10oz kookaburra as pictured. I already have a few but one can't have too many of these bad boys in the treasure chest.
You can see me holding it above, pictured with a standard 1oz kookaburra; Both of these are from the Perth Mint. How about that size difference?
Below you can see a profile shot showing the thickness of the 10oz to the left against the 1oz to the right. It feels good in the hand too...Really good.
I purchase silver with funds I have saved for just that purpose rather than dipping into my other various savings which means I purchase reasonably regularly as I'm one of those people that never seems to have trouble saving money - It's simple really; Just spend less than you earn, go without stuff and boom, you have money to spend on silver. OK, not all that simple, but essentially it kinda could be right?
This will be the last I buy for the year although I'm hoping Santa Clause gets his oversized ass down my chimney and brings me several hundred ounces...I'm not hopeful though...I don't have a chimney.
I know there's a few of you out there who stack and am curious what your strategy is for gaining the funds to do so? Do you go without stuff like I do and like my team at work also do? It's the only way I know how but I'm open to ideas. Comment if you know a better way.
I'd even be open to taking to the seas on a stollen galleon and reaving from town to town like the pirates and Vikings of old...So, let me know.
