<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SCFY, post: 1774699, member: 55116&quot;]I have to admit I am fairly new to the silver stacking comunity, I started back in March and have accumulated about 140 ozs of silver to date. When I was in the military back in 1995-1999 I had a chance to be in the UAE (United Arab Emirates) and what was really cool about being out there is the though process of gold and silver out there compared to the United States.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In the UAE, you will not find gold lower then 18K because they think anything less is really not considered quality. The US thought process is about how much it costs, when speaking to jewellers in the US, most jewellers only sell 10K or 14K with a few 18K sprinkled in.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When I was over there, gold was about <b>$200 a oz</b> and silver was about <b>$6 a oz</b>. How does the old saying go, if I could go back in time and speak to myself, what would I say... Hey Dummy, go buy gold and silver! Hind sight is 20-20.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So the question is when did you realize that you should jump in and start buying silver and gold? Were you one of the smart ones back then who saw the potential in buying bullion as investment/hedge for your future?</p><p>Did you like most catch on after the recession happened after 2008? Or a fun thought, were you watching Pawn stars and saw the silver episode, and said I need to buy some bullion?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Either way I figured this would be a good way to hear other people&#039;s experiences about getting involved with gold and silver. I personally realized that I wanted another way to save money, and that physical bullion would be a great way to invest/hedge for my wife and my future.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>I am adding a vote section to see what time frame you started to collect for others to see.</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
