Always Call Heads Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I bought gold once. I took possession. I lost 2 ounces. Literally lost. Have a brother that was HUGE on gold or was for a long time...I think he told me he been out for a few years. Maybe even longer. I have some platinum here in a drawer here that I bought on impulse after a TGF post.I think it's gone down some since then.Yeah, a lot of people get suckered into gold. Bitcoin is e-gold. You can just buy a gold ETF and get the same upside and none of the downside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAG Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 IAG, no, don't recallLol. Or maybe FW just inquired of you and sent me your response. I wonder if he could track that down. He might've messaged you at EOG or something I forget. We had 160 acres down near Canton. We leased for many years and then sold two years ago.

FISHHEAD Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Wowow Wish I had sold SOME 4 years ago, have lost a BOATload on paper since then. That's interesting, was through Canton area roughly 7 years ago on a lengthy tour of the country, nice area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad bought circa 1993 I think? I know nothing about it. My brother handled the particulars, but I did do some inquiring a while back. We were going to initially sell about 5-6 years ago and held off I think. Probably would have been better to have sold earlier, but hindsight…. I forgot what your advice wise.

IAG Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 very nice. 500% in 20 years is excellentThat doesn't include the money we made every year on the lease. I'm really not sure how much that was. My dad was the sharpest guy I have ever met. Unfortunately his financial savvy and restraint did not carry over to his daughter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FISHHEAD Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 very nice. 500% in 20 years is excellent......land purchased on my end roughly 20 years ago could have been sold at roughly a 1250% gain 4 years ago, ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAG Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 ......land purchased on my end roughly 20 years ago could have been sold at roughly a 1250% gain 4 years ago, ugh.. Yeah the Iowa land was crazy about 5 years back. I remember some of the very best going forsomething like 22k per acre!! Our land was not of that quality, but was still a good investment. We probably waited a couple years too many to sell, but there were other things involved from a legal/trust standpoint, which made it is easier to wait until mom had passed. We never would've gotten remotely close to that much regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
