<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Peter T Davis, post: 1994219, member: 1&quot;]Liquidity is also a question.&nbsp; Or, I should say, under what conditions is it liquid.&nbsp; With stocks, you have very high liquidity as long as you have an account at a brokerage firm that trades on the exchange where the stocks are listed.&nbsp; For the bigger brokerages you can now trade via your computer, your smartphone, etc, and trades are pretty much instant.&nbsp; On the other hand, in a financial meltdown, you may not be able to get much value for your stocks when you need the money.&nbsp; If you have a bag of silver coins in the safe in your bedroom closet, on the other hand, there&#039;s a good chance you&#039;d be able to use them to trade locally for necessities like food if our economy ever did reach the point of meltdown.&nbsp; During normal times, you can also take your silver locally to places like pawn shops, coin shops, etc, and get cash in hand.&nbsp; You can&#039;t do that with stocks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
