Message:: [QUOTE="kaparthy, post: 94562, member: 57463"]Certainly!  At the same time, I would not pass up an opportunity just because someone recommended it.  In other words, suppose you read an article about "The Leaping Lizard Liards of Louis XIX (Littleberries)."  Would you say, "I'll never collect them because someone else wrote about them?"  No.  You would look at the pictures, read the history, and if it resonates with you, you will act on your interest. Silver was at $8 per ounce last year at this time.  Silver is a commodity more like cocoa than it is like gold.  That said, we can grow more cocoa.  While gold is money and silver is something else -- and cacao beans have been money, as well -- the fact remains that there is a strong historic understanding of silver as money.  I keep a couple of common Morgans and a couple of silver art bars in my travel kit.  You get out of the City, out into the country, down South, out West, and a big silver coin will get you more respect and cooperation than a credit card or a $100 bill.[/QUOTE]
