They have even added platinum now which has been pretty much flat and if it follows other precious metals should follow gold and silver
They were making I want to say either $200 or $400 million a month on gold and silver alone.

Looks like they are feeding the demand the public. What other metals do you think would work well?

I am not sure.... the big ones are those three so when Costco added Platnium a month or so ago they really hit all the ones major mints use.

I love it, too. Just wish I could afford it, now. THEY have F’ed up the dollar so badly that buying gold, for Americans, looks like a long stretch.

Costso selling gold bouillons?! I missed... Look's like has dying since long time, really slowly indeed. Incredible how things evolve so damn quick under our nose, and we need to read it somewhere else to realize it!

They have been doing it for about a year now. Since I am not a member, I have not gone there. However, my son is a member and tells me about it. He always gets there too late to buy the bullion. Perhaps selling silver and platinum willl enable him to buy.

Keeping a bit of gold on your person has saved a lot of people through the ages!
I kept 3-5 ounces on my person as routine during the worst period from late 2020 until I started my Rebel Nomad career for real this spring :-)

I think this is the real reason for bling in America. In India, it is traditional for women to hold the gold in the form of bangles and piercings. They overtly display it and, as far as I know, they never get robbed.
