<p>[QUOTE=&quot;masterswimmer, post: 6350834, member: 102022&quot;]This is absolutely correct, as a bona fide investment strategy. The problem with your analogy is that you&#039;re conflating collecting, hoarding and stacking with investing. </p><p><br /></p><p>Accumulating physical silver historically serves as nothing more than a hedge against economic failure and disaster. It hasn&#039;t proven successful in the long term as an investment. It throws off zero dividends, zero interest, and the stacker relies solely on growth to make any gains. </p><p><br /></p><p>Spot silver has reached a plateau of $50/oz only twice in history. And those two times were separated by 30 years. </p><p><br /></p><p>I do not tell people what to do with their investment dollars. When asked I provide pros and cons supported by facts and historical tends always followed by the disclaimer that past success doesn&#039;t guaranty future returns.</p><p><br /></p><p>Additional disclaimer, I do own my fair share of over 50 years of silver stacking. So I do have a stake in the game. None of the bullion purchased above $16/oz. Numismatic and mint issues are another story.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
