Harbl the Cat's Rules for Trading Precious Metals

These are my personal rules for buying, selling, and swapping precious metals.  They're like the pirate code: they're more like "guidelines."  As far as I can tell, provided the precious metal bull market is in tact, I think these rules are valid.

I develop these rules as I make mistakes or smart decisions personally (mostly from mistakes).  Your mileage may vary in using these rules, but I post them here as a personal reference and in the hopes it may help educate you if you decide to invest in precious metals.
