This is a guess, so maybe better to ignore it.
Maybe lots and lots of thanked posts in gold and silver ramping threads that have then been pulled? Maybe the MSE forum doesn't then reduce the thanked posts count?I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.
Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.0 -

I'm guessing but I would imagine its to do with deleted threads? The post count would fall as the post is no longer there but the thanks tally is unaffected?
The only time I've come across PM as an abbreviation relates to private messaging, but then, I'm no expert.0 -

Yes I think I remember seeing I still had some 'thanks' from posts made on a thread where the original idiot poster had it removed. Once you have lots of them you tend not to keep track!markwilkinson wrote: »I'm guessing but I would imagine its to do with deleted threads?

True. The investment shorthand brings a new meaning to, "I just sent you a PM"...The only time I've come across PM as an abbreviation relates to private messaging, but then, I'm no expert.
If you guys would like to discuss investment opportunities further, please feel free to send me PMs.

Careful what you ask for...

It is always different this time. The only thing that is the same is the outcome.
Portfolios are like personalities - one that is balanced is usually preferable.

But if you'd sold all your physical back at the top of the bubble, before this current long term bear market started, you could buy even more when it finally stops crashing...*
