Thank you for PM and response here as well. I was pulling my hair out wondering if messages were going anywhere. Hopefully this will help others out who may have same question.

Trying to send administrator PM and message stays in Outbox. Should they not be moving to Sent folder? Sorry for the simple question but couldn't figure out where else to ask.

ns3 & WildAboutHarry thank you both for the help! I will place when market is open and will check out limit option. TDA gave me a bunch of InvestTools swag like virtual cash to play with, so maybe it would be prudent to utilize that for a trial run. I know there isn't really a time crunch, but ...

I've finally finished the book and should have paperwork finalized on brokerage account today. I have decided on a 1 broker 4 ETF version of... VTI, SHY, TLT, IAU I know this isn't optimal risk wise but it's the best fit for where I'm at right now in this game. I have a rather sizable amount to impl...

I couldn't disagree more with PS. If gold is used again as money, its purchasing power will be many multiples of today's purchasing power.

i think Utah did this or something very similar back in 2011,  if i recall correctly there was even some mention of a gold depository issuing a gold/silver backed debit card.. You are correct, Utah was the first state in recent times to make gold and silver legal. Oklahoma passed a law back in 2010...

Wow, that's the opposite of what I was thinking. Glad I decided to register and ask. I'm somewhat apprehensive about all of this but I suppose that's normal until you get your feet wet.

Thanks for your well pointed thoughts on the matter! I do appreciate you taking the time.

I realize at this point this is hypothetical and mostly just a thought experiment. I'm new to all of this, and only about two thirds through the book. I am sold on this strategy and very soon will be implementing it. I still have a lot to learn, just ran across this information today and it got me w...
