Kman...while what you say is true....one cannot be afraid to buy something due to the thought that it may be worth less later...I could say the same about knives, guns, ammo and the such...to be afraid to buy something just because it may not be worth as much when you go to sell it...well, that's a bit on the "short side" at least to me it is....from where I'm at, I don't buy silver with the idea of selling it for a profit, so maybe that's why I'm coming at this from a different side...In my world...I'm a buyer to put it up....many here don't believe in that, and that's what makes the world go round, I do...I'm going to keep what I buy, just like I'm going to keep the guns that I buy.....my thoughts are...buy a little each month, and put it up....if others don't believe that way, more power to them, that's cool...we all have our own ideas about how we save for the future....buying a little silver is a part of what I do...a small part, BUT a part none the less....and hay if we get the SHTF...I may, along with some guns & bullets, have something to barter with, who knowsYou make very good points. I never thought about when you go to sell. I figure I’m not involved and don’t want to be at this point. It would be easy to buy and sit on it, but when you need to sell it you may get bent over as some people have mentioned.
