When the price of silver was pushed up near $50, the exchange raised the margin and a lot of speculators had to dump their silver. A lot of us got hurt when the value of our silver plummeted.

Me included. Still holding what I paid $1600 for and it's never been back to it's high. The TV commercials border on being criminal.

Gold?and Silver? $$$

sourdough58 wrote:

Ads from people who have more Gold and silver than they need saying "buy my gold because your dollars will be worthless soon", so they will sell me gold that is going up in value for dollars that are going down in value ???? what do they know? are they just bad at business? that they will trade valuable gold and silver for nearly worthless dollars. what am I missing? Every time I see the ads they make me feel like I should keep my dollars.

Exactly! If it's skyrocketing why are they selling it instead of just sitting on it? I learned my lesson. Bought $1600 in silver two decades ago and it still isn't worth what I paid? Fool me once shame on you ..... won't fool me twice.

You mention your Lumix SX50 which fell and was damaged. Are you meaning a Lumix ZS50 like mine? The SX50 is a canon. If you had the ZS50 and replaced with a ZS70 can you comment on the comparison as I'd be interested.

Those pushng the Sony RX100 series conveniently fail to mention they are about double the price of most of the other cameras discussed here.

WOW, I had Amazon Alexa show me pics of sparrows. Never knew there was such a variety. I thought they were all brown without other colors.

Real Estate Photography Question

jcboy3 wrote:

If you shoot at too wide an angle, you risk overstating the size of the rooms. I usually shot no wider than 24mm FF, and only rarely as wide as 18mm FF in tight quarters. Either of your camera/lens combinations will work, and can go wider than I recommend.

If there's one thing that really irritates me it's those who shoot so wide they distort the rooms, overstating the size. Who wants a refrigerator in the kitchen that looks like it's six feet wide. The same with doors.

Do you wear the old guy uniform? White New Balance tennis shoes, tube socks, plaid shorts, tee shirt with stupid saying on it that you bought on vacation. If this is you, you are in the old guy club.

Stop harassing those of us who love the comfort of New Balance shoes. I have both white and black.

Tesla Price Reduction

Tesla has lowered the prices of its two top models to $90,000 for the "S" and $100,000 for the "X." Get one now and start saving money on gas!

By not buying one of the $90 - $100K Teslas I can save enough money to buy gas for the rest of my life!

Many Cameras

I'd say the owner of the storage unit was foolish to tell his employee and her boyfriend they could keep all that was in the unit as payment for cleaning out the storage unit. Why didn't he look at the storage unit before making such an offer?
