I jumped early and got some maples last weekend on a sale. It’s still trending down. If it keeps going down like this I may have to get another order in.Silver down today. I bought eight 1 oz. rounds from Monument, but I jumped a little early.

That's the spirit!I jumped early and got some maples last weekend on a sale. It’s still trending down. If it keeps going down like this I may have to get another order in.
Phils were on sale on top of spot dropping a dollar from the weekend. Still a good buy for you imo. I got some on order last week during that dip. I’m looking at possibly pulling the trigger on a tube of buffalos if it keeps dropping. 22.70 spot now on monument with buffs on sale.I finally broke down and ordered a few Philharmonics very late last night. Spot per Monument was $23.17 then and $22.72 now. I am not going to stress. Buying exactly at the bottom is difficult at best. Buying within the bottom V of the dip is fine with me.
If you knock yourself out chasing the very bottom or top all you’ll end up with is a bruised head.Dang it. I picked up a 10 oz. silver bar from Monument yesterday. Obviously I jumped a day early.

That's true. Still there's a bit of a thrill when you time it just right.If you knock yourself out chasing the very bottom or top all you’ll end up with is a bruised head.
Just my experience in commodities.
I pretty much stick to Monument myself.Where are others here buying?
I have been buying from Monument & SD Bullion, watching Privident however their "recognized" spot price is always higher than the other 2 & their premiums are not as competitive.
Have you ever visited Midwest Jewelry & Coin Exchange?
Same. Monument and sdbullion are my go to places. They seem to always have the best overall deals spot/premium sales.Where are others here buying?

A tube of buffalos is in my cart. I’m still watching it’s starting to trend up but I’m still banking that we haven’t seen the last dip today.Bought a tube of Buffalos, $504.20
Ok I watched enough today. Missed the low spot at 22.24 but pulled the trigger at 22.30.Bought a tube of Buffalos, $504.20

$501 for a tube of buffalos.
I whole heartedly agree with you on when it’s your time to buy then buy. The cost averages out over time. It feels good when the premium is on sale and spot starts dropping though! As for shipping- the places I’m ordering from ship free on orders over $200 which I would highly recommend doing otherwise shipping eats into the value.There was a time I hesitated on purchases while watching spot prices fluctuate...
Then I realized that any serious movement in spot price was usually accompanied by "adjustments" in the premiums. Even during wild daily swings, the differential in price was less than any shipping costs.
If it's your time to buy, just do it. $5 is five bucks, but focus on the forest not the trees.
