It is not easy, to be an investor or husband!

As I’ve mentioned before, we own a decent chunk of physical gold and silver. When Costco started selling them, I couldn’t resist — I was buying some almost every time we went there :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:. My wife eventually got annoyed and told me to stop. I tried explaining that prices were cheap, but she shot back, “Buy it in your brokerage account, not on my credit card!

Fast forward — GLD went from $200 to $300, and the chunk I’d bought in the $190s I sold for a tidy 15–20% gain. Recently, when I bought again at $307, she accused me of chasing. I explained my logic, but she still said, “Nope, don’t buy any more gold or silver in my account!”

Like a good husband, :joy: :sweat_smile: I ignored her advice and went ahead anyway picked up silver calls and added more gold across all our accounts.

Fast forward, today morning I told her at last $SLV is close to my price target of $47, briefly in the morning it hit $46.5, and spot gold price hit $4000, so I am planning to sell, and suddenly she is like “Nooooooooooo… Don’t dare to touch my gold and silver”.

You can be a very smart individual, but your emotions are your enemy to your investment decisions.

Imagine if you bought REAL gold, the pretty shiny stuff, coins and jewelry, instead of the ETFs. Then try to sell it.

“Nooooooooooo… Don’t dare to touch my gold and silver”. Especially if she is actually wearing it. :wink:

By the way, I’m not buying precious metals now. But I used to treat myself every now and then in earlier years.

Oh she has Gold Jewelry.. obscene amount of it… Long, long ago, for couple of years she worked in Dubai for an airlines in developing their ticketing system, so she got paid weekly, and every Friday she bought gold jewelry… :sweat_smile: :sweat_smile: :sweat_smile: you think I will be touching her gold?? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

The gold we bought in Costco are bars, not jewelry, that’s why she was annoyed and angry. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
