    Love this title , Makes me chuckle when people claim " I cant afford gold" and yet they have cupboard fulls of silver worth far more . Buying silver in UK in ridiculous not an investment at all, buying silver in other places is not the best investment gold outperforms silver many many times more than the other way round .

    Hamburger vs steak. Both are beef. But would you pay 300% profit margin on a steak? Most people would bulk at a $60 strip steak. But very few would bulk at a $15 hamburger. So they can get a higher profit on a cheaper product and have greater margin. If silver was more expensive the premiums would be lower because people wouldn’t pay it. So if a dealer wants to move gold in volume, they have to charge less or there would be no market for it. And since they need money, they make the profit on the cheaper product because it would appear cheaper. This is why when silver prices go high, you see premiums drop on silver per ounce. I think the part we often forget is the dealer can get away with higher premiums. It’s not all that, but it’s why peer to peer silver tends to be cheaper and more profitable than dealer to peer sales for the buyer.

      It will be nice if you are correct. I bought some silver for the first time not long ago, and I expect to never make any money on it. I just had an itch to scratch, so I bought some 2023 Golden Eagle's by Germania mint. I don't want to sell them anyway, so it does not matter what happens to the price of silver. I mostly buy gold and don't regret it.

    I've been buying joblots of costume jewellery recently, and scrap silver is my base calulation of whether it was worth it. In the last 10 lots, I've found close to twice the purchase price in scrap silver, plus occasional bits of gold, a nice diamond, some star saphires, a few opals and a lot of resalable jewellery that I give away to my brother to sell. I'm at the very beginning of an investment journey, and may well buy gold with some of whatever I get for the silver. I do like silver, but I don't like the premiums.

    • @DeeCee-nb6ev
      @DeeCee-nb6ev Місяць тому

      General advice given on investments is usually to only have 10% of your portfolio in any one investment, so if you have £10,000 to invest thats £1,000 in gold. It’s not saying there are only 10 investment products just dont tie up more than 10% in any one product.
      The strategy appears to be that should one product fail your maximum loss is 10% which should be recoverable eventually assuming the other 90% performs okay.
      Long term gold will outperform cash under the bed, logically. A couple of weeks ago i saw mint condition old £5 notes for sale at £250 so if you had a few of them under the bed you would be in for a good return. Would anyone have thought that a white fiver would be worth that when they initially saved it?

    well.... I think you need to decide what you will use your silver or gold for before you make a value judgment. If you want a denser store of value or pay less premium on spot, than gold is great. This is simply logical because the lower the price per weight/purity, the higher the premium. Example, look at the premium on copper bars. I think conflating expensive and affordability is the flaw to this conversation. Silver is very affordable and much lower vs gold when considering all time highs, has potential monetary and industrial utility, and is easier when considering divisibility. It is also very affordable as a smaller denomination barter/currency instrument in extreme economic crisis times.

    The most important variable is melt value/ premium %. Silver premiums often range from 10-15% sometimes higher. Meaning you’d need the equivalent raise in spot price just to break even on your investment. Gold is clearly the superior option, it’s no wonder the rich choose it over silver.
