Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 13

Don't understand the logic of these "heat alerts". Down here, Met Office are saying 30C for monday and tuesday, and we have an amber heat alert. But they are also predicting 34C for Thursday, but no alert. You can understand why people take these alerts with a pinch of salt.. I did wonder...

Gold: £2319.49 per troy ounce Silver: £25.31 per troy ounce Silver is so manipulated. :evil: Hi Im new to following gold and silver prices. Could you explain what you mean please? I.e. Is it being kept high or low. A lot of the sites say there is extraordinary high demand at the moment. Thanks
