<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rono, post: 2633278, member: 6492&quot;]Howdy,</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t agree that gold stackers are smarter than silver stackers because they are stacking gold and I believe you concluded they were smarter as a class.&nbsp; &nbsp; Sorry, but I&#039;ve seen too many people with serious money pour it down some rat hole or another.&nbsp;&nbsp; Having money doesn&#039;t make you smart.&nbsp; Wisely managing your resources and time makes you smart.&nbsp;&nbsp; Ever watch American Pickers?&nbsp; They&#039;ve got some collectors that do so for various and sundry reasons and some are very bright and some are not.&nbsp; Ever sat next to some cretin at the blackjack table constantly peeling off $100s and losing his hide?&nbsp; Ever watch someone decide to buy into a restaurant franchise only to go tapped because they weren&#039;t customer service types? </p><p><br /></p><p>Some reasons to stack more silver relative to gold are:</p><p><br /></p><p>Cost.&nbsp; Yeah.&nbsp; Cost.&nbsp; Depending upon your situation in life and age, you may have limited resources for buying bullion.&nbsp; Do you realize how great a percentage of workers with a 401(k) option are unable to max it out. </p><p><br /></p><p>Fungibility.&nbsp; Silver is much more readily disposed.&nbsp;&nbsp; ASE&#039;s and even more so, 90% fractional can be spend most anywhere on the planet.&nbsp; Gold is much hard to flip.</p><p><br /></p><p>Gold/silver ratio riding 56-70 to 1 when historically, it&#039;s been ~17 to 1.</p><p><br /></p><p>And for the kid, it&#039;s leverage.&nbsp; There is much greater leverage in the silver than in gold.&nbsp; This extends beyond physical bullion to the stocks and my favorite place to play - the junior silver miners.&nbsp; The leverage is spectacular when the bull is running.&nbsp;&nbsp; I played in the late 70&#039;s, went nuts from 2002 - 2011, played it last spring and am playing it now.&nbsp; Cha-ching.</p><p><br /></p><p>and so it goes,</p><p><br /></p><p>peace,</p><p><br /></p><p>rono[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
