<p>[QUOTE=&quot;susannyny, post: 1219606, member: 31977&quot;]It&#039;s just getting better and better for me with this eBay seller. Because he made an error in date availability on the walking liberty halves, he&#039;s sending me a 1 gram scorpion bar and not charging me shipping on the coins (that brings the cost down to $21.99 for the two walking liberties). He&#039;s also going to make me a deal on his remaining liberties.&nbsp; If I can pick those up for $11/ea., I&#039;m going to gobble up what he has.</p><p><br /></p><p>@Cloudsweeper, I appreciate your input, but I&#039;m going to disagree with silver being a risky investment (and hope that I&#039;m not jinxing myself by doing so!).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Volatile, yes.&nbsp; Risky I believe is only an issue if you&#039;re looking at it as a shorter term investment.&nbsp; I&#039;m basing this on the trend of silver pricing over the past 10 years (<a href="http://www.infomine.com/chartsanddata/chartbuilder.aspx?g=127681" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.infomine.com/chartsanddata/chartbuilder.aspx?g=127681" rel="nofollow">http://www.infomine.com/chartsanddata/chartbuilder.aspx?g=127681</a>).&nbsp; The dips we&#039;re realizing now are not close to the 50% dips that were realized in 2008 (when silver plummeted by 50%).&nbsp; And, even if we do have a 50% fallback, I view it as a buying opportunity.&nbsp; Ultimately, I feel silver will exceed $50 oz at some point in my lifetime.</p><p><br /></p><p>With that said, I&#039;m a firm believe in not putting all your eggs in to any one basket and my total silver investment will likely only amount to ~ 5% of my total portfolio.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
