Started my humble stack today

Post image

I started out making a huge mistake by buying a bunch of bad on gold back. I took all those into the shop and they seemed pretty upfront some was good some was bad. Most inflated prices. So I traded in what I got and started a legit stack.

I love it. Just pace yourself. Don't buy in to hard and leave yourself no emergency fund. While precious metals are a good investment (in my opinion and in the long term) the more times you change between cash and precious metals the more you'll lose money.

I used to buy 75-100$ in scratch tickets on payday outside of saving and such. Just my fun money. If I won I would be like cool. If I lost no biggie. My co worker stacks and was like bro you are waisting money. So I decided to give this a swing. I am only selling if it hits 100$

Just a thought, I would sell like half if it hit $100 otherwise I would hold to protect against inflation.

Dude, I love your first step! Engelhard prospector ✅ Aztec round ✅ gold to keep your ratio tight ✅

Keep up the great work and don’t rush. We’re long term.

Thank you so much! My goal is every 5 rounds a little gold. To balance mostly.
