<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 841913, member: 3011"]If you don't know what you are doing, that's the first thing you have to correct before buying. Silver is very volitile and if you don't completely understand what you are buying, you're going to panic if/when the price drops. You might want to google Ted Butler and read some of his stuff if you are buying for investment, but keep in mind that he is only going to give you the bull market side of the argument. If you are buying in anticipation of a civil war, keep in mind that (1) this is a low probability bet, and (2) silver might not do well in that case since it is an industrial metal as well as a precious metal. Inflation is more likely, but an almost equally good case could be made for deflation.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would recommend American Silver Eagles [uncirculated, not proof] as a first silver investment. You'll pay a couple of dollars more than buying 90% pure coin silver or silver rounds, but you'll get most of it back on the sell side because most dealers will pay something over spot price for them. ASEs are the easiest and most liquid of all silver coins/bars.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
