<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1736740, member: 19065&quot;]You&#039;ll have to define more factors that influence such a transaction&nbsp; as pertains to your personal investment and if changing from one metal to&nbsp; another is worth it.&nbsp; There&#039;s a bit more to such a transaction than what&nbsp; current spot prices are trading at.&nbsp;&nbsp; Namely, how much did the amount of&nbsp; silver you want to change into gold, cost you in the first place?&nbsp;&nbsp; That&nbsp; is, what was the total cost then and what is the total number of ounces of&nbsp; silver you may want to change into gold.&nbsp; Have you &#039;earned&#039; on your investment to date?</p><p><br /></p><p>Do some math on your&nbsp; investment to see where it currently stands.&nbsp;&nbsp; Subtract your initial investment costs, and any fees or&nbsp; storage costs (e.g. you bought a safe, installed a home security system,&nbsp; are paying rent on an safe deposit box, adopted and feed an angry and noisy hound,&nbsp; etc.)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also, think in terms of the amount of gold the current&nbsp; ounces of silver you hold could get you IF you didn&#039;t have that silver to work with.&nbsp; &nbsp; Could the current value of silver you have amount to a cash value you have available and ready to invest in gold at its current prices?&nbsp;&nbsp; If you want to be&nbsp; in gold, would it be more wise to hold the silver and invest more of the&nbsp; cash you have in hand, especially if you would be taking a loss in what the&nbsp; silver cost you, that is, if you&#039;d bought silver at a higher spot price than it is now trading for. </p><p><br /></p><p>Get a calculator, a pencil and some paper and&nbsp; go over the numbers... You may figure out which path to take without&nbsp; enduring an debate on <i>dollar:gold ratios</i> that are currently not&nbsp; answering your question(s).&nbsp; &nbsp; Think in terms of what ease you may or may not have, trading or selling one PM over another should you need to liquidated and return to cash someday.&nbsp;&nbsp; Has the silver investment done what you wanted it to do, and can gold do (continue) that too, or do something else you want it to do for you?&nbsp; If you&#039;re just feeling anxious about it, do the math on paper and do nothing else with your silver for now.&nbsp; Come back in a few weeks or months and see how PMs are doing then.&nbsp; Don&#039;t feel rushed to make a decision as the perspective of time can teach you a lot, too.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s really a personal thing that takes your own unique factors and perspective to determine how, and when, to best proceed. </p><p><br /></p><p>Regards. :thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
