If you're considering trading ETFs, look into sector rotation. It's a pretty surefire way to make a decent income from what I've heard.

Silver spot is up to $87/troy ounce right now. It is being pulled up by demand for gold.

I had some luck with silver today on an auction. I won two lots of older foreign coins (mostly British, Canadian, Australian, with a few Mexican and Chinese) for $23. There is easily over an ounce of scrap silver in them if I wanted to sell them that way, but worth more for their collector values.

That was not my major score though. I added to my Swiss watch collection with a vintage (1970s) Omega f300Hz in a box of random common men's wrist watches for $20. The auction house kind of dropped the ball on that one. It should have been sold alone with a reserve much higher than that amount.

I'm happy seeing all the green on the miner etf's for both silver and gold. Been expecting a major financial crisis for too long and shifted into those a while back. Timing is always the problem when you can see the writing on the wall but the masses and the markets take too long to catch up. Hopefully metals will hold and keep moving up to match up with some of the high inflation that's been going on for so long.
