1. We should all want something tangible for our hard-earned money!
2. While some potions/vitamins etc are great and useful, they are consumed and gone.
3. Silver (and Gold) should increase in value over time, unlike paper money.
4. Silver (and Gold) become more scarce each year - Yearly Supply is less tham Yealy Demand!
5. Silver stockpiles are decreasing - from 10 billion ozs in the 1940's to less than 1 billion today.
6. With US Debt so high many believe the US$ will beome almost valueless
7. The US gov't is printing much more than the economy dictates ($14 billion printed per month)!

Why Silver and not Gold?

Silver is cheaper and therefore more accessible to more people!
It is widely believed that Silver is undervalued compared to Gold.
Supply of Gold to Silver is 15:1, while Price is around 50:1 - this should begin to correct itself!

Because silver is used in many areas from batteries to space shuttles, from pharmaceutics and medicine to solar panels and simple electrical switches, a huge number of products in our every day's life need and use silver. Also there is a very little silver left in deposits and natural sources.

I think silver price has increased more than gold. Silver has returned more profit % in recent times.

Yes i have a research blog stuffed full of info on silver. GASAnetwork Gold & Silver Acquistion

Yes more people are investing in silver then gold now a days

Ratio of Silver to gold was above 60 to 1 for quite some time until late last month when it dropped below 60.
It continues to drop and was close to 57 to 1 Oct 13.
The ratio historically is between 16 to 1 and 20 to 1.

I believe we will see that happen again...sooner than later.
Silver is a much better investment than gold.
The only real downside is its weight relative to value.

As QE2 takes effect you will see many more people gravitate towards silver.

Buy silver if we cannot afford to buy gold.... silver price is still cheap..

Silver has industrial uses so is a real commodity, unlike gold. So, the price of silver is more volatile.

Gold is where people go when they are scared. If you have faith that you can gauge fear in the market then gold is the way to go.

People are really scared now. And if they aren't, they should be.

Silver is cheaper to buy up front. I disagree with saying it is more volatile. Alot like the volatility of gold, the volatility in silver depends on which side of the cycle it's in. You can buy it less and have it skyrocket fairly quickly before it goes down as quickly. If you're looking for the most preferred substance it's gold definitely. That's been since the dawn of time. I think that silver is a great thing to have but one should have a well rounded portfolio in my opinion. JMHO though.

Silver is not manipulated by the central banks like Gold has been in the past so that gives it an aspect of freedom in that regard. An interesting book to get is the one written by Jim Blanchard called: SILVER BONANZA.

Silver is definitely the better investment. Like many have mentioned,
silver is used in many industries whereas gold is not. Both will keep
their value as the dollar crashes.

I would advise to accumulate at least 15% of your net wealth in silver
sooner rather than later. This year is looking bad economically and
your cash is soon to become devalued. It has happened before
in 1933 when the US economy was depressed...and it's much MUCH
worse today. There is no way back. The dollar crash is certain.

I wish you all the best,

Silver has been used throughout history as a form of money,
as has gold, and history has a tendency to repeat. However, if gold
goes up much further, there won't be small enough units to use
say if you just want to buy a bar of chocolate or a bunch of bananas. Silver will be far more
practical to use in terms of every day transactions.

Hi,

I agree with you, to be honest, my customers are buying more silver than gold..
If they buy gold, they buy coins..

The basic idea is that PMs like gold or silver are limited natural resources while all paper money can be printed at your govt's will anytime.
Therefore, both gold and silver will become costlier as time goes by.
The recent economic situation doesn't suggest anyone to invest in paper money such as the Euro or USD as both the EU and the USA are going through serious crisis.
Greece's exit from the eurozone, if happens, will seriously affect euro's exchange rate which may temporarily make dollar prices going up but as the U.S economy itself is indebted with over $15 trillion and the it's economy is going through one of the biggest crisis in history, the Fed might anytime declare a QE3 which will negatively affect dollar's rates as more money will become available in the market.
In addition to that, BCBS is (Basel committe on Banking Supervision) considering to declare gold as a tier 1 asset for commercial banks with 100% weighting rather than a Tier 3 asset with just a 50% risk weighting as it does today. Once the decision comes into effect, a institutional buying spree will be started which will dramatically change the scenario. So, it's high time to invest in PMs...

all the gold ever mined is in vaults somewhere, silver ends up in landfills in digital products, silver is way undervalued, people should be filling their pockets with it as the government can't print it.
