If you sold your house in 2008 and bought Garlic you could now buy 30 similar houses

I read a few years ago that the copper price was far more then the face value of the coins that we had in our pocket ....

That's why copper coins are made of steel now.

Hang on to any that aren't magnetic. May as well put the rest in a charity box.

But you can not buy a lot of garlic and use it as a long term store of wealth.

The thing that separates silver from all other Rare Earth Element’s is that you can invest in it directly. Sure, you can buy stocks in companies that mine silver or REE’s, but only silver has the dual role of basic investment asset and industrial material. That’s what makes silver the rarest of the rare. What separates silver from any other natural resource is thousands of years of primal attraction, held by man as a form of wealth, and simultaneously a vital and strategic industrial material necessary to modern life. It’s just not practical for the average investor to buy a pound of a rare earth, a barrel of oil, or a bushel of corn for investment purposes. I suppose a case can be made about investing in platinum or palladium, both important industrial metals, but there has never been any evidence of a world-wide rush to buy these metals as there has been in silver. Buying or selling an ounce or a pound of actual silver is as easy as falling off a log. The United States Mint sells Silver Eagles by the millions of ounces every month. And while many invest in gold, it doesn’t have that investment asset and industrial material dual role unique to silver. That’s what makes silver so rare.

I'm pretty sure garlic lasts a couple of weeks in the fridge, so as an asset not much cop.

Shocked to find a flaw in Spamishes argument.

Don't you think posting to a thread he started in November is taking the stalking a little too far?

Garlic should be kept in a dry cool place, not in a fridge.

Not shocked to find a flaw in your argument.

Any replies with a cartoon please.

Hamish knows what he is talking about, he will be proved right sooner than you think.

Let everyone remember what Hamish said "Gold and silver are going to crash soon 100% guaranteed" and appologise to him when he will be proved right very soon.

You are far better off investing in garlic or any nice round vegetables for that matter!

Yes let everyone remember how wrong Hamish is.

I'd like to take this opportunity to brag that I predicted every detail of the Garlic boom.

All the best Garlic is being taken by 'Elephants in rooms' and there is NO shortage of Elephants BTW it's just that they go into rooms and get ignored.

I spoke to someone at the EDL (Elephant Defiance League) and they said the only way the born and bred British people could ever buy a house would be if one of these 'Grey B@ stards' stopped taking all the minimum wage jobs.

I spoke to someone on HPC and they informed me that Elephants are really reptiles and are the same or worse than Hitler.

The TRUTH is given away when you view an elephant's head through a hollowed out Garlic clove. you get an eye within a triangle. What more proof do you need that elephants are the foot soldiers of the illuminati and that the WTC were pushed over by these evil reptiles (elephants)?
