[QUOTE="myownprivy, post: 2636904, member: 84588"]It's a facepalm because you either didn't read (or worse) understand my post! You do understand that as your silver physically sits there it earns you no money? You understand that the only way for you to get a return on your investment is when you sell it? On the other hand, stocks and savings account return your investment to you on a regular basis BEFORE you liquidate it. The smartest investments are ones that give regular returns. Precious metals have a role to play in investment, but if they play more than a 5-10% of a role you're a fool. They are there as a hedge against inflation, as a physical, beautiful thing to look at and actually hold. But they take up space and provide you with a return only when you sell it. Thus, they're not a wise primary investment. Yes, they will almost certainly be way up in value decades from now. Consider it an extra savings account or retirement account and you're in good shape.[/QUOTE]
