nothing like taking a 1000 oz bar of silver down to the 7-11 and asking for change for a bag of chips. 2.99 over spot for a 9 dollar commodity? are you kidding me?
I'm sure that a 1 oz gold eagle will do as much good for you as a 1000 oz silver bar at the local 7-11. If you want the 1 oz size for a commodity that trades in 1000 oz bars you have to pay a premium for the small size. Not my fault that there are morons willing to pay a premium for small size when they can get large size for small retail markups.
I work on a precious metals desk. Anyone who has the money and can prove that they are not a criminal is more than welcome to buy as many millions of ozs of gold from my desk as they want at 2% over spot. Of course... the account must be prefunded. For arguments sake... lets say the max order size would be 50k (ozs) every 5 minutes between 8am-1:30pm unless otherwise accepted on my end... So it would take a couple of hours per million ozs. The thread is nonsense.
