[QUOTE="Goldpiece, post: 2811895, member: 89131"]Okay, here comes an uppity "newbie" poster with some years of analysis on this very subject. I own some silver (really too much) and had I the BRAINS to dump it when I ..."began" ...to sell at 35-40 sold ALL of it, I'd be a much happier camper. I've always joked that silver has medical uses as it regularly cuts the heart out of people who have it. As you might gather, I'm a GOLDbug. Gold is not only FAR more liquid if you sell, but also more liquid in places other than the US. (Note: my comments don't apply to SMALL physical holdings which I would call less than 50 oz gold and 500-1000 oz silver) Historically, MOST Asians won't even consider silver to buy at coin shops. The REAL bugaboo is the liquidity. During major market swings, GOLD will most closely follow "spot" prices. While silver will change drastically dependent on the reasons for swings. Silver will be purchased very low during a rapid "rise" in price as the liquidity doesn't "trust" the move. Gold, on the other hand...owing to MASSIVE and GLOBAL liquidity will usually keep a nominally steady "spread" rather than swing counter to the move in the spot prices. This info is based on experience. I know that metals get into "emotional" attributes but I've seen that fail too many times to count. I got nothing against buying little dabs of silver or pretty silver things, but if it's REAL money, I'd stick with gold. [B][SIZE=6]MY[/SIZE][/B]..... opinion is that Silver = You can sell a little bit or ....maybe.... swap it for some ammo if you can find the trade. and Gold= INSTANT ....money.....whenever, wherever, and always. Until proven wrong, that's my 'pinion an I'm a-stickin' to it. :)[/QUOTE]
