    With the trillions in spending, I don’t think
    the trend is going down anytime soon.

    Silver prices are insane, way too high for me! :cigar: That said, some members are buying as they feel inflation is on it's way upward and somehow the spot price of Silver will do something it's never ever done before which is it will go for over $50 an ounce. Is that a realistic way for investors to think? The spot price of Silver hasn't budged significantly in over a year! Over a year!! Time will tell friends, time will tell. :D

    It’s not and never has been. Aside from very short spurts there’s always been much better investments

    The silver I have I bought at about $4.50-$6.00 over 20 years ago. Not buying anything bullion or junk since then. I'm sitting on a bit of a stack for a long time.

    The pandemic has made everything backward and PM,S are no exception, but you
    have to ask yourself, is this the new normal ? and will that continue to rise, we would all like to go back to the days of $4 premiums but now that the dealers
    have a taste its going to be very hard to put the car in reverse.

    Yes, and I have asked myself.! :happy: I hope things go back the way they used to be but that's not realistic thinking either. We're in some really crazy times right now, no doubt about it. There's no way I can predict the future at all, gold I'm okay with the gold gamble. Silver, I'll leave that to the people who are accepting of that gamble. I mean, I have a little but I haven't bought any new Silver for years.

    I think if your going to take a gamble, you would take the lesser risk of Silver
    The other PM,S have just as much premium as Silver does if not more.

    That's true but I love gold and if the price goes down and I lose financially, I'll still have my gold so I'll be fine! ;)

    I think the best answer is collectors who don't invest in it! :cigar:

    That’s a pretty narrow spectrum, especially
    with the value of gold, you can’t collect
    with out investing not at current prices
    anyway.

    But what guarantee do we have that it will
    return to those levels ? you are still going
    to pay hi premiums regardless of what PM
    you choose.

    How do you figure that silver is less risky? It seems to me that it's always more volatile than gold, and generally has higher buy/sell spreads.
