[QUOTE="littlehugger, post: 2111168, member: 58633"]I think investing in silver is wise, up to a point. Silver has the same positives and negatives as other commodities. It rises and falls. It can have and has had bubbles. But, silver is not an American thing, or a coin collector thing. It is a human thing. Silver has inherent value because people covet it. This remains true even in crisis. In fact, its magnified. Stocks, bonds and paper money only have value in an advanced culture. This is also true of some commodities, such as oil. But, silver and gold have actual value up to the point of a Stone Age culture, where Og values food, shelter, weapons and women. Silver, and other precious metals can thus be just as good an investment as the paper ones, but has the advantages of maintained value in crisis that would make paper investments worthless. One positive for silver is its relatively low value, making it available to many who can invest in it over time, in modest quantities. For $1200 you can get a single one ounce gold coin, or 8 pounds of silver. You can get it as small as dimes, up to huge bars. Given any crisis short of Apocalypse, those silver coins are going to be way more useful, and valuable. Yeah, silver has its ups and downs, but it has positive qualities none of the paper investments have.[/QUOTE]
