<p>[QUOTE="Mendozaco, post: 1788168, member: 57152"]Buy the metal not the name (logo). The first thing you need to ask yourself is what is the time commitment and the quantity you want to accumulate for each month, quarter or year. You be surprise how much you will accumulate once you setup a quantity goal and period. My advice is use calendar quarter (eg 200 oz for the 4th quarter 2013). Try to use a reasonable amount at first and than increase it once you develop a buying habit. Time is important. How long will you hold the metal for? In my case is 16 yrs. I have a 2 year old son and at 18 he will be needing college money. Quantity is my preference and not the name. Will I care what the premium is 16 years from know on an Englehard bar or I be more concern with my quantity? Do your math. When you buy 100 oz (10 oz bars) Englehard you lost 2 to 3oz of silver on the premium. If your investment is for short term then by the name.</p><p><br /></p><p>My second advice is buy small bar increments. 10oz or 5oz bars should be your goal. In the future you do not want to liquidate a 100oz bar when you could sell 30oz to cover your expenses. The worst thing you can do is not to buy or wait until the price is lower. How knows next month it could be in the 30s or maybe not. What it would be in 16 yrs?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
