Brilliant! Cheers Gatesy

Hi folks, I’ve been regularly buying both gold and silver bullion for a while and would now like to buy some junior mining companies. I'm UK based and my plan is to buy a modest amount of shares in a self select ISA but the companies I’m interested in are primarily listed on the Toronto stock exchange. Does anyone know of either 1) a self-select ISA that can trade on the Toronto Exchange or 2) a fund of mining juniors that can be bought in an ISA wrapper, e.g. via fidelity. My plan is to buy and hold a regular lump of shares each month so I’d like to keep purchase costs to a minimum, naturally Any pointers gratefully received.

Correct. BullionVault do gold only (so far), Goldmoney does silver and gold. I found the setup for BV more straightfoward than GM. Also, the transaction costs with GM are higher too at ~5% but it is convenient if you want silver.

I'm glad I stayed put. I'm too much of a scaredy cat to trade. I hope you come out ok

Taken out $926, $50+ in two days

Cheers Woody I've decided to sit tight. I'm no trader - a man's gotta know his limitations. Buying regularly and holding has done me no harm so far. I await the smackdown with interest

Being the end of the month they may try to smash it back. BTW Eric King on FSNH was saying something about options being closed at the end of June so expect a drop at the beginning of July. I don't trade, just buy and hold but I wonder if selling, say, 10% today to buy back in a couple of weeks might be a bit of fun... I must say I'm tempted.

Agreed. I had similar conversation with a friend recently who has massively overleveraged himself on a big mortgage. Apparently the fundamentals (according to him) are in place for the housing market to recover and boom again next year. I sighed, bit my lip and poured another beer. I hadn't the heart to tell him if he avoids insolvency he will be paying that huge mortgage back until he retires... if then It's odd how peoples' perceptions are in line with what they want to happen rather than what actually does happen. Still gold is up which is good, which is nice I was hoping it would stay lower for a while longer so I could continue accumulating in the dip... so much for my wants!

The mother of all smackdowns once New York opens?

Thanks matt, I'm afraid I still don't really understand... think I need to go and do some reading Cheers!

Good read, thanks matt. I'm a bit confused buy this part: If speculators in the futures market don't actually take physical delivery how can this be a stockpile as such? Surely the oil ultimately goes somewhere (and then burned)?

Excellent! Must grab some cheap gold BTW has anyone noticed that transfers to BullionVault happen within 24 hours these days

Groovy, best stock up on some more

Wow! What the hell just happened?
