<p>[QUOTE="Zuhara, post: 816723, member: 23099"]I will put in a word for gold, since the current climate of opinion certainly favors silver. Ignoring the $50 an ounce Hunt brothers interlude, gold generally leads silver and is a more stable investment. If you want a contrary opinion on the value of gold over silver, here is a link to an article which describes silver as rather parabolic, and more suited to trading than investing: <a href="http://www.zealllc.com/2007/silvlag.htm.

Junk silver is starting to trade at coin like premiums. If and when the premiums on junk silver get up to 20 or 30%, I would consider trading junk silver for bars or rounds, which allows you to purchase extra silver for free. Premiums on Eagles or Maples are often around 20%. Getting 1% of that back when I sell doesn't pay in my opinion, and I would just as soon buy the bars or rounds. When buying bullion, I think rounds and ingots are the best buy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
