<p>[QUOTE=&quot;beef1020, post: 1655566, member: 24544&quot;]If the choice was between silver and $100 bills under the mattress I would say do silver.&nbsp; As an &#039;investment&#039;, PMs are horrible, they don&#039;t create wealth, they don&#039;t produce anything, and they don&#039;t generate profit.&nbsp; But they do store value to some extent, which $100 bills don&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, you have the ability to actually invest the money in business which create products, boost production, and generate profits.&nbsp; These are investments, not PMs.&nbsp; They are risky which is exactly why the market, broadly speaking, gives a higher rate of return then inflation and PMs.&nbsp; If it were my 529 I would look for a low cost index fund, or a low cost highly rated bond fund depending on your horizon.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
