The Silver Trap

The Hunt Brothers fell into the “easy money trap” around 1980. They attempted to
remonetarise silver, hoping that, by buying up the metal, they could push the price up
far enough for it to once again be used as a monetary commodity. Initially, this plan
worked out, and speculators significantly reinforced the upward price movement.
However, production then adjusted to the new price, and the distinctly higher level of
supply caused silver quotations to plunge again.

>I again urge a revision in our silver policy to reflect the status of silver as a metal for which there is an expanding industrial demand. Except for its use in coins, silver serves no useful monetary function.

In 1961, at my direction, sales of silver were suspended by the Secretary of the Treasury. As further steps, I recommend repeal of those Acts that oblige the Treasury to support the price of silver; and repeal of the special 50-percent tax on transfers of interest in silver and authorization for the Federal Reserve System to issue notes in denominations of $1, so as to make possible the gradual withdrawal of silver certificates from circulation and the use of the silver thus released for coinage purposes. I urge the Congress to take prompt action on these recommended changes.

there is no industrial demand for silver you mongoloid. Anything can be made with silver can be made almost with any material except jwelleries.
Immagine also if science finds out a new atomic reaction made with other materials for example copper that let Quantum entanglement to happen.

Another thing silvertards don't even realize is that the US government started minting silver coins was to dump their massive supply of silver and get rid of it, not because they were getting off some sort of standard but because it was worthless and needed to dump their bags

I started buying silver earlier this year and have 150oz so far. I originally planned to buy gold once the gold:silver ratio tightened but I must ask if it's worth saving some money from buying silver in order to buy so much as a single ounce of gold for the year.

Silver is undervalued and fucked over. Gold isn't as much. Silver is a better long term buy.

Silver and Goldfags are the ultimate cringe I swear.

Unless you want to diversify and put some money into an undervalued mining company, turning to an asset that is already way over it's ATH both in terms of usage and actual worth is the cringiest, uncreative, most authistic pull that /biz actually farted out from itself in the last few years.

Why not straight out shill some pension funds, bonds, or you know what, some real, creative and tangible stuff, like funeral insurance, that would really suit you faggots.

hold some gold and some silver (preferably physical)
silver is nice, but its price is more constrained by production than gold.
Meaning, (as OP points out, with a historical example), silver cannot moon as hard as gold can because there are more proven deposits that can be mined cheaply (for prices in the $16-20/oz range).

hold some of both.
BUT, as always, owning revenue streams is the best. That can mean gold or silver miners, or other equities. Buying high quality stocks has always been the best investment, then you own a portion of the production.
