I'm not planning on selling for a while, so I welcome this sale. Hopefully it'll last through the summer. $26 will be a very important number if we get there.

I assume that UST means US Treasury notes? They haven't been double digits since the 1980's. But it would not take much of an increase in rates to cause the costs of servicing the debt (interest) to soar. If the Treasury is wise, they should be selling as many long term notes (20- 30 years) and lock in these low rates for as long as they can.

I'm dreadfully unhappy that I just had to sell 13oz AG to make car repairs after whacking a deer, but I have to visit all 100 counties in the next 3 months, and need my car operational.
Did they let you keep the meat? (Some states do- I have relatives in PA and they don't mind not having to clean up the carcass- or did is survive and get away?). That would help defray some of your costs with good meat to eat.

Sorry. Those things can do some pretty serious damage to a car. In the town I grew up in somebody was killed on their bicycle from a deer- bicycle coolision.

Thanks, and sorry about the guy from your town. Deer can certainly be deadly.
I'm usually very good at avoiding them. I've only been hit by a deer once before in my life, and that was 23 years ago. And I didn't hit it, it hit me. In the side.
This time, the thing jumped out of a ditch right in the middle of a hairy s-curve and went right in front of me. I slammed on the brakes as hard as I could, but my car has ABS. (I can stop faster WITHOUT ABS)
Without ABS I might have managed to avoid it entirely, adding another half second before impact.
But I hit this critter HARD. The deer went airborne and was doing a flat spin, launched off another 30 foot off the other side of the road and down the aforementioned embankment. It was pretty bad. And it's a lot of damage.
If I were to go to a normal body shop, it'd cost me $4000 or better. Instead, I can get parts and do the work, and be back to normal for around $700
But I did NOT want to sell $700 in silver when it's in a dip like it is now. So I sold just enough to do the mechanical repairs (headlights, hood) and I'll worry about the fenders later.

Last year my Dad's car got hit (by another car while he and my Mom were going home from visiting my brother) and was totaled. He had to sell some of his PMs to get a new (used) one to replace it (insurance didn't cover everything) so I understand what you are going through.
