You buy silver you can keep it. You buy gas it's gone in a week. The silver may go down a little but more likly to go up, the gas is just gone. No compareson, what if that hyper-inflation hits. Gas for necessiyies, silver if you want something to do with discresionary money. But are you better off with real coins or troy ozs. I like the coins, because if you buy right you may make more on resale. And it's easier for the little guy. If you watch what your doing and study.
Easier to store than gas too . Or random length lumber... I like coins and bars, and ingots. It always goes down, then it goes back up. When it goes down some more, I plan to buy again.

Also, I'd like to add... [sarcasm] Silver is at an ALL TIME LOW! It is ready to blow up! Seriously, it is an industrial metal, they don't make them anymore, companies need silver, cell phone, computers, medical... This is your last chance to buy silver at this low rate. Silver has been artificially held down. Based on historic ratios, silver should be at $60!! Buy now, don't wait! Oh yeah, if you buy within the next 5 minutes, we'll throw in the slapchock....no not the actual device, but the slapchop guy! [/sarcasm]
LOL. But wait! There's more... Silver contracts have now gone into backwardation... or is it contango? (Darned if I know...). But anyway, if you don't buy now, if you try to wait for prices to go down, there won't be any left to buy at all! Not at any price...
I'm a buyer, but I insist that you keep the dork, preferably chained up and locked away....but seriously, I'm hoping it will drop back under 17 and then I'm going to buy all I can afford...not sure if that is going to happen or not...but we all have our dreams
All joking aside, I'm a buyer too, although I will really be upset if that guy arrives with my order . I think there is a very reasonable chance it will come down, as it has a number of times this year. But everyone is different in how and when they prefer to buy.
