<p>[QUOTE="Tom Maringer, post: 194450, member: 7033"]I tend to think that because of this unusual gold-silver ratio that either silver is undervalued or gold is overvalued. In either case, I put the lion's share of my investment in silver and base metals. I do not count the base metals like copper and nickel out. For an investment of... say... $650 you can lay in one ounce of Gold, or one and a half pounds of Indium, or four pounds of Silver, or thirty five pounds of Nickel, or two hundred pounds of Copper. Gold is easier to carry... if you have to go on a trip for instance and want to have some fall-back money in case the world falls to pieces while you're away. Gold is also much easier to steal. Copper, in (for instance) the form of bags of wheat cents, can be stored quite easily in boxes in a cupboard or under a bench, and generally does not require the expensive security precautions that gold does.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
