Cause the shiny 40K car will net you only half the second you started it even once, whereas 10K silver will remain 10K silver no matter what you do with it. Thats why .... The times when car theft was a great way to make cash are all but gone. Even the premiums are insanly hard to get rid of except for when selling them in parts. Which of course will magnifold your risks of being caught indefinatly. Silver and gold you just remelt into neat bars/coins or skulls and sell them for 1,5x or more of spot price on ebay with zero risks.
Terrible comparison. People buy cars for practical transportation/social status purposes. They don't expect the car to be a storer of wealth the way they would stocks/bonds/PMs/savings accounts. Only one of those things takes up physical space, the precious metals, and gold takes up 80x less space than silver. If you are storing wealth and desire compactness, portability, and the ability to grab it with your free hand as you escape a house fire, you get two 10oz gold bars, not the treasure chest full of silver in the video.
@@richardbrout2242 I also love to cherry pick timeframes to justify my biases. DIVERSIFY YOUR INVESTMENTS. you cannot go back in time, so sacrifice some potential gain for reassurance you aren't going to get completely wiped out because you're all in on any one thing.
Actually it is very easy to get a gun in the UK - but it is only a shotgun that you can have. You just need to apply for a licence and the burden is on the police to say why you should not have it. So if you have no criminal record or mental health problems then you are good to go, very easy indeed.
I stack gold and silver , i am barely middle class and can afford to buy 10% worth of my annual income precious metals , i dont buy bigger than 1/4 oz gold rounds , or silver 10oz bars , i wont sell unless its life or death, and will be prepared for an economic collapse or whatever.
Markus Patients if its life or death for my family , i will get those potatoes or anything else any way i can , try to barter , or just take them if thats the way it has to be. Anyone trying to upcharge that much for a sack of patotoes deserves to taken down a peg or two.
when i was a kid back in early 70s we had a oil shortage and i never forgot hundreds of cars in line for each pump .... except for 1 line which had a sign but no line. The sign said "Silver Dimes ONLY 1 gallon of gas." Never forgot that.
Ammo cans. Military surplus ammo tins hold the weight of silver very well (since they were designed to hold lead ammunition) and they stack great in a large safe. You can easily get 500oz in a 50cal ammo can. And with that you could carry 1000oz to the car at a time, if you are worried about bug-out and portability. Not to mention ammo cans are air-tight, so add a silica pack and less moisture means reduced tarnishing.
Yeah, agreed, have ammo for the SHFT. But also consider surplus ammo cans for your silver storage because they are strong, portable, durable, and airtight. In my opinion much better than a monster box or other difficult to handle storage solution.
Markus Patients , I’m a Libertarian and NOT a Trump supporter, but all I’m doing is pointing out how ammo boxes are convenient to store and transport silver bullion. One of the big complaints about silver stacking is its storage and difficultly to move/transport. I’ve found that surplus ammo boxes are a real convenient low-cost solution which scales well. You can get 80K of silver into 10 ammo tins and they all fit perfectly in a medium sized safe.. It’s cool if you don’t want to be prepared for a financial crisis and depression, because I need people like you to do my hard labor while I pay you in silver dimes from my ammo can ;)
If you are little tired of silver s upression take some time off of stacking....and enjoy yourself but don't sell your silver....thats what the elites are hoping for...they are trying to shake out PM investors
I stacked 300 oz of silver in my first year, and quickly realized that stacking beyond a monsterbox, 500oz was not so practical, because I have a nomadic lifestyle in the present (outside shtf scenarios), and therefore it is wiser to move from place to place with compact gold. I relocated my home this year, and the safety of my silver during transport was something notable.
The Silver /Gold Ratio is about 84-85 to one. That means you can buy 85 oz of silver for one oz of gold. Then you can sit back and wait for the ratio to fall. In 2008, the Ratio went to about 40. At that point, take your silver back to the coin shop and buy 2 oz of gold. Granted, you have to pay premiums, but even then, you are ahead and you took zero risk
A man named William Cooper who wrote the book Behold a Pale Horse who was only wrong one time in his entire life said these words. "JP Morgan & Company who have the most above-ground physical silver in the world will crash the metals market and people will panic and they will sell all of their silver whether it be physical or on the market, and then they will buy it all back for pennies on the dollar". Hold on to your physical silver because you are hedging against the dollar and the dollar will collapse just like Venezuela and every other civilization that had paper currency, they all collapsed, all you have to do is look at history and learn from it. Keep buying silver in fractional increments and 1 oz to 2 oz coins or bars maximum, there's not much you can do with a kilo bar. Silver is for one thing and one thing only, to barter and trade goods when you can't buy anything with Monopoly money. In the meantime just admire its beauty
" and one thing only, to barter and trade goods" Yes, which is the very moment you will lose it ALL for a bottle of water. Whereas the guy selling you the water will own ALL you precious silver and just can sit back and relax till things have calmed down again and then swap it all for cash, whores and houses and happily live ever after. Whereas you guys will be left with an empty chocolate bar wrapper to remember the times when you lost it all in a minutes time ....
I worry stackers will attack those that try to 'profiteer' . 1oz of silver for a loaf of bread is a rip off but I don't intend to prepare and bake a loaf for my stacker neighbour so he can hold onto more of his metal. Stackers will need to accept that silver price may jump but water and bread will skyrocket if SHTF, and it's all equally fair/unfair
@@ginger8383 If SHTF then silver is no way of possible payment. Ask the guys living in warzones .... but people that believe in silver as a SHTF currency never will accept facts. Ever. Dont get me wrong: you WILL get food for your silver. But you will NEVER get an even remotely fair trade ratio. Ever. You will give all you have for that one bottle of clean drinking water. Trust me. Its just a matter of time.
Conversely, whilst silver isn't as portable in an emergency, you couldn't easily barter for low value goods with gold without seriously overpaying (assuming people would actually barter for precious metals).
Correction the Dollar will never collapse its stamped on your 1oz American Eagles and other Countries Coins. The Federal Reserve NOTES with Dollar on their paper will.
Complete agree. I'm fairly new to staking but had quite a bit of money to put into PMs and quickly got up to 500oz (mix of bars and brit tubes). I'm stopping there and have moved onto gold, have 5oz and looking to increase over the next few years. From my short time in the game I'd say silver stacking is way more enjoyable due to the amazing pieces and frequency you can purchase but gold is way more economical in size, investment and as a store of value.
You are 100% spot on about silver. Carrying that pile of silver when the music stops is not gonna be mission impossible. That's why I choose gold over silver.
I heard this argument to many times, so what if you have 1,200 ounces of gold what do you do. Open your mind, whether, you have 12 thousand ounces of silver or Gold, you should not be worried about how you could hide it in your house or having a huge safe because you should not have that much inside you house period. Bury it somewhere on your property in air tight and water proof containers, and be creative when doing so. I live in the U.S and whether Im investing 5,000 or 50,000 I believe Silver has the bigger upside than gold. If your Silver went up to 200 an ounce and you had 10 thousand ounces , that you bought on average of 18 dollars an once would you care about storage? Not me.!!!! I think if you stack Gold to diversify that's great, but if your doing it because it takes up less space, well then you know how I feel about that.
+Markus Patients My point was based on what was said in the video about owning gold because its easier to hide or store. I wasnt speaking about economic collapse, but in the event of a economic collapse it will be nice to have gold and silver for after the reset, in my opinion. Why would I be worried about traveling with my gold or silver, I have no plans of going anywhere. If there was a complete collapse, my family and some close friends will have more than enough food and water for at least a year, and the means to protect ourselves god willing. What will a pocket full of gold get you in that time. If you think $20,000 in silver is hard to travel with, try hundreds of cases of water and at least a year worth of food. That's why I stack mostly silver in my opinion its the better investment. Im not worried about how Im going to travel with it, an unless you plan on eating your gold and silver during an economic collapse you should be preparing and staying put, thats just my opinion, to each there own. I hope you understand now why I think the logic behind stacking gold because its easy to store or travel with bothers me, especially when most people agree silver is the better buy right now. If your buying gold to diversify, I could see the logic in that. Peace.
Do you know how to REPAIR dry-wall? Can you do finish-work carpentry? Can you do simple masonry repair? .... guess where your PMs can go? .. all over the place and NOT in one single location !!!!!!!
1,000 a ounce silver is very likely. Especially when you look at the world currency system. We have a debt based economy that will completely bust. That’s a economic and mathematical certainty
Whether its stacking PMs or investing in the stock market or playing poker, knowing WHEN to leave the game: .... its better to leave too early than to be 24 hours too late.
So wrong... I honestly believe that a lot of people read and listen videos from " intelligent people" and then just form their opinions off that.. when they don't actually take the time to think for themselves.... there's never going to be an economic crash that's going to affect the world globally it just simply can't happen if it's bad business no one profits from it
Ive probably stacked about 350 oz so far this yr and have been stacking for a number of yrs now . Recently i have started to diversify a little towards gold either way i my personal OPINION stacking is the way to go .
10% my savings in precious metals. Half in physical gold, since the creeps can outlaw it again and half in silver, since it holds it's value and won't be outlawed because of all the industrial applications it's needed for.
I'v been buying Gold & Silver for 18 years and people talking about "how well silver is doing" are out of their minds. I've hardly seen a great increase in my silver stack. Gold on the other hand is a different matter entirely. £380 an ounce coin now £1500... Silver won't ever compete with that even if scientists declared it as a cure to Coronavirus. Stack in the shinny yellow stuff people. Silver is ok. Gold is incredible. That's the difference.
Yeah, it is a long old game and one that requires careful timing in the markets to actually get a result. Gold is where the true value is. Thanks for stopping by!
I agree with you. However for me, i like the psychological feeling of having a large amouny of silver. Plus if its in silver, I cant be tempted to spend it. Thats why I buy a 1/4 ounce gold britainia and 5 x silver britannias.
some point to agree, but it depends on our strategy. if you are investing in ratio, you will definitely hoarding silver and hoarding bigger block such as 1kg above.but, if you are diversifying in metal, you would do some percentage of what you are holding.in metal, i do 2:6:2 portfolio.20% in gold, 60% in ratio and 20% in silver.as of current ratio, you can say that my strategy is 20% gold, 80% silver.as of total diversification of wealth, you might want to consider 2:3:3:2 portfolio ratio that will be 20% metal, 30% cash, 30% land and 20% others.just sharing my strategy. cheers mate.
Damn Good Advice !!!!!! In 'normal' times, those that only have occasional severe stock/equity market crashes, 10% PMs, 20% cash, etc. is the usual. But, with impending serial market crashes combined with a threatening currency collapse, then probable deflation followed by hyperinflation (or vice versa) for several years thereafter, probably soon oncoming ... I agree with you @ 2:3:3:2. Also if you have significant liquid wealth, its probably best to store your PMs in bulk in several 'out of country' private vaults ... out of the reach of your 'home' government.
I am stacking silver, but only because I like to play with it at times. I am not stacking for investment. I will likely pass this to my kids or grandkids.
I'm a stacker and agree that over time, one could wind up with several drawers full of heavy Silver. Had I approximately $27k to invest in precious metals, I'd likely invest a good $20k of it in Gold as it'll take up less space and despite the fact that Gold is heavy, my "stack" would weigh considerably less if most of it were in Gold.
I think Gold and Silver as a Good store of Wealth and time has proved it! The stack is our insurance Policy in retirement...along with some other items...would love to pass it down...but if things get hard will part with some or most of it to live fairly well...store in at least 5 Different places. Good topic my friend.:)))
PART TIME PREPPERS silver as a good store of value? Are you out of your mind - it went from 8 to 16 in 37 years. The dow in that time went up 10 times, so silver lost 80 % of its value. On the bright side, fiat currency collapses every 250 years, and for a few brief week before that collapse silver will be a great investment. The problem with stacking is the difficulty of selling silver, not the ease of buying it. You need to be able to sell very fast to take advantage of periodic spikes that last a week or two.
iron age is over buy bitcoin litecoin digibyte and vertcoin ,pivx thats the future of money. look at the new generation we are 100% digital fuck gold and silver we youth dont buy jewels anymore ....we buy digital assets so dont listen to this guru .i can buy fake silver and gold easy on any chinese website i cant buy fake crypto ever think about that. Wake up people these old generation is getting really old
Gold and silver prices are sharply down and near their daily lows in early-afternoon U.S. trading Monday. Gold notched a nearly 1.5-year low and fell below key technical support at $1,200.00, while silver scored a two-year low. A surging U.S. dollar index and solidly lower crude oil prices were pressuring the precious metals. December gold futures were last down $17.10 an ounce at $1,202.00. September Comex silver was last down $0.24 at $15.055 an ounce.
But if you are a poor person it makes all the sense in the world as an Investment AND a store of wealth...... Silver is the Poor man's Gold you know, no you don't know.
put them in .50 cal ammo cans! It will be heavy but not that bad, you can easily carry two at a time. The ammo cans also stack nicely and are very secure and durable.
I have just started buying silver and I’m leaning toward buying in fractional amounts. I’m interested specifically Valcambi silver and gold. I understand I’m paying a premium for the amounts I’m buying but I’m stacking for a SHTF scenario. Also good point on talking about the transport of your silver.
The 20% VAT rate on silver (and platinum) in the UK is a real killer to any potential profits and then you have to pay dealer's commissions on top otherwise they would be an excellent investment. Also, as you pointed out a big stack of silver presents problems in home security whereas as you say gold is much easier to hide but then silver is much more barterable so that's the trade off. Still these precious metals are a good hedge against a potential economic collapse but that also brings into the question that governments have confiscated gold in the past in such times of hardship and uncertainty.
VAT is a killer - fortunately we can still buy from European dealers and use the VAT reduction scheme to get them basically VAT free. That still does not take away the issue of weight and home security! Thanks for the comment my friend!
I just bought my first 10oz bar at spot value when silver was priced at $20.80CAN/oz.. unfortunately I had to pay $19.90CAN for shipping so in my eyes an oz of silver is an oz of silver. I essentially paid for 11oz and got 10oz, with the CAN currency factored in well that's a whole other variable to consider. I feel I bought at a good time. I will continue to stack but I will be focusing more on the fact of an oz of silver is just an oz of silver, I will not focus on expensive over priced coins that have a higher premium, plain Jane bars all day..
@@BackyardBullion Right I was very annoyed by that. It is also a country where students cant make more than 5k a year(to get housing checks). Wouldn't want people to pay down their debt now would we.
14.85 an oz right now... No tax in the US and on top of that I work for a coin and bullion company so I get it at or just below spot sometimes for physical silver. Can't go wrong right now. In 10 years I can see it hovering steady around 23-25 or maybe 25-28 (just like it hovers between mid $14 to mid $18 now) with a big jump like the time it hit $48 an ounce in there somewhere but it won't last so sell and re purchase when it bottoms out again. Silver usually jumps when countries make large purchases. China stocking up on silver made it jump to an all time high, the speculation on why they bought and if it was because of a possible switch to the gold standard made their currency shoot up in value too. So when a big jump happens look around for the causes and see all the places you can make money because if a country switches to the gold standard like was speculated to be happening, their currency is just as good. If it ends up they don't switch, which is usually the case, it still went up because you buy low sell high. So in the end you make more money to put back into PM's until you're ready to cash out or the time comes when you're going to need them.
Around 4:20 I noticed he mentioned fleeing home in an apocalyptic scenario with a heavy load of silver. Fortunately in the U.S. some people can stay home because we can stock any number of firearms we want. Anyone tries to loot my house, they will absolutely be shot. Calling the Sheriff will always be the "after I deal with the intruder" option. If you can...grab your gun, not your phone. And I wish the U.K. had that luxury. But buying silver shouldn't necessarily be looking to turn a big short-term profit. 2 reasons to buy: 1. To make the long-term (decades if you have) investment. 2. Because (regarding America), a future involving the democratic party looks very grim on the dollar's value. Things keep going down the same path, silver will skyrocket as the dollar nosedives. People with paper and digital bank accounts will really struggle. And silver value will only go up. If you have enough silver...and guns to defend it...you'll have enough money to provide for your family for years. Better than joining the millions who'll hunt for food. Better to let them do the dirty work, risk their lives against other hunters, and hand them pieces of silver for game, right?
I got 2 monster boxes of Maple Leaf for just US$20000 when the spot price was around $18. Hard to imagine you spent $7000 more for just 200 oz. when the spot price was significant lower then.
Most severe financial crisis events typically have INFLATIONARY and DEFLATIONARY phases. In an INFLATIONARY or hyper-INFLATION (most common) situation both Gold and Silver perform very well. Historically, In a severe DEFLATIONARY situation, gold 'can' decrease in value (~as during the three severe financial crisis of the 20th century), Gold decreased by ~40% from the pre-crisis value) while Silver went VERY 'negative' vs. its pre-crisis value. Gold is vastly superior to hold during a DEFLATIONARY event, versus Silver. Too much RISK to hold too much silver during a DEFLATIONARY event - IMO. Dont limit yourself by holding only Gold OR only holding Silver. Have both to cover your 'possibilities'. More Gold than Silver is the better bet - IMO.
You are right, in a worst case scenario it's better to have gold instead of a lot of silver if you have to carry it. I live in the EU so tax are a also a problem. I have my foundation of cheap bullion and constitutional silver so I try to switch more to gold and buy only silver coins that I like for my collection.
Buying silver isn't a very bad idea, it's all about how much you own. Depending on how much you have, you may wish to earn passive income in the equity markets, but if you never owned any, and you have the money, buying AG in the $16.00-$17 price range is a fabulous idea here in 2018. Each ounce of physical is hypothecated by a factor of well over 50oz in the flagrantly illegal futures market whereby derivative instruments allow bullion banks to sell invisible, nonexistent virtual ounces in a naked short fashion and keep the price on AG ridiculously suppressed. The Gold: Silver ratio should have AG should be priced at 1:10 or arguably 1:8.9 as each ounce of gold now only equates to roughly 8.9oz of silver pulled from the ground, and the current GSR is well over 75! This makes silver undervalued by a factor of at least 8, and if silver prices correlated with fiat goverment paper expansion over the last 10 years, its price would be well over $150/oz, and based on Aggregate US Debt over $570/oz (see www.usdebtclock.org/, which USED to have Silver: US Debt over $850/oz)! Why do you think JP Morgan is hoarding AG and not AU? All about the inane GSR! Premiums in the US are far, far less.
I’m a very new stacker but I studied on it for at least two years before I started buying in a significant way. I don’t really worry too much about an apocalyptic scenario in the United States and I’m not trying to get rich quick. I’m also NOT trying to prepare for the complete collapse of the dollar. My goal is to freeze the buying power of todays dollar the best I can and hand it down to my 15 year old son and allow him to exit my holdings the best he can. I like hearing opinions like yours and I certainly appreciate the time everyone spends explaining their goals and why they stack the way they do. I would never criticize anyone for explaining their strategy. I do worry about the strength of the US dollar as it can be fairly volatile depending on so many variables such as The sitting Presidents values on spending. Social and economic values and the agendas they will FORCE FEED THE US population at any cost. Right now the most popular agendas are Gay and Green I think but it could change to anything at anytime. The US Gov has increased our national deficit enormously while propping up solar panel and electric car companies that will never see an honest return. There’s a lot of pay offs to still be done and more to come. It will be a long time before we crawl out of Obamanomics. The Unknown It’s just FUN to stack and learn. And of course War (but not in a apocalyptic way). There’s also another reason I am stacking. Now that I have a “little” confidence in buying I am just addicted to it. Lol I joke but it’s true! Do not confuse this with greed because I’m not a greedy person at all. I have been accused of hoarding because I tend to keep everything I can but with stacking at least I’m hoarding something valuable and for a good reason or reasons. Lol I just love silver and gold although I don’t have much gold to speak of yet! Maybe that will change as I flip my silver into gold someday when the time is right.
The problem with outdoor storage of silver is the corrosion building up. Gold doesn´t corrode so you can bury it. I will also run into the same problem, but i will sell (trade in gold) some stuff when i am at about 50 kg of silver. Silver is for saving and maybe making some money, and Gold is an absolute wealth storage for long time. In case of a crisis it is not good to have only gold. Buying a bread with an ounce of gold is a bad idea. An ounce of silver sounds better and the people don´t rob you when you have 3 or 4 silver coins in your pocket.
In the US, for BARTERING purposes, one should have 'junk' silver (90% silver pre-1964) coins: dimes, quarters, 50¢ pieces. Use 'junk' silver for bartering, save the .9999 grade for your storage of wealth. Many of the PM dealers offer 'bags' of 'junk' silver coins. 'Junk' silver in the US presently is in the range of ~$12-13/troy oz. ... 0.9 X 'ask' + (if) premium. When the SHTF, do you really want to be flashing $10-13000+ gold 1 oz. coins or $700 silver 1 oz. coins in front of terrified & starving mobs of the 'new' proletariat, especially when buying a quart of milk and a loaf of bread or a ham & cheese sandwich on rye bread? Although if you do the estimate 'future' calculations, that milk will probably be $35/qt., the loaf @ $25 and that ham sandwich will be about $45.00 in 'new' (still and yet, 'semi-fiat') dollars. If you bury, know that all silver corrodes; 0.9999 gold does not corrode; but less than 24 kt. WILL eventually corrode.
You hit it exactly..... place the equivalent cost in gold next to the silver... thats all you have to do. Then answer the questions how much above ground silver and gold is there ? How much below ground ? The ratio above is 1-1 Below 1 - 10 So 1-80 ratio is reasonable ?
I value your opinion, it is important to have gold for bug out purposes but when the reset happens silver will increase at least 40 times and it will pass your wealth onto the next financial realm and you’ll increase your wealth by 40 times at least. Silver is good if things get bad as long as you don’t have to bug out. So it’s good to have both as long as you have a safe place to store it.
Great video my friend. That is A LOT of silver indeed and you make some great points about why it might not be a good idea to buy that much. The weight is one I used in my vid asking the question about when do you have TOO much silver. Well thought about. Always good to reevaluate why we stack and how we stack. Thanks for sharing.
When you have 1200 ounces of silver, think that due to industrial demand, silver will definitely go up, maybe even 1 ounce of gold = 4-20 ounces of silver at least permanently, for every 100 people who buy gold 1 buys silver as a speculative investment, there are 85,000 applications in industry for silver (the price is raised by the people, but like gold) I hope to collect 1200 ounces soon, thank you
I have possibly half of that amount of silver, and it is heavy, but I don't carry this all day around with me. Stacking this in a save vault somewhere, is the way to go. Keep maybe a few coins on hand to run with, if need be. No, that pile is a sight for sore eyes. Acquire the metal first, and worry about how to store it later.
I agree that you should have a bug out plan and some pocket silver. But I think it is very unlikely that the SHTF where you need to bug out in less than few minutes is likely.
@@faithsrvtrip8768 Great Idea if you can reinforce your closet against malicious parties. even better if you can hide it in a cavity somewhere and just bust through the wall and gtfo if the time comes.
I can imagine that your premiums for that much silver and of the type you've show, would probably run you over $2000 dollars. AND, that is just the "Buy" premium. Now, add your "Sell" premium and that will cost you almost 16% of the value of your hoard. Yep that is a bad investment, unless you plan to hold on to it for more than a few years until the price goes up at least 16% or so, to cover your loss from the premiums. Unless there is a financial collapse the price will continue to be manipulated such that you will not realize their true value for some time to come.
Precious metals are for storing wealth not getting rich. When a SHTF moment arrives you're not going to exchange it for fiat currency. You're going to want to exchange it for other real assets like real estate. You'll also need it to barter should monetary systems tank. As for storing 1200 oz of silver try using an ammo can. You can find them at most sporting goods stores for around $15 and they're fireproof. They're also easy to fit with a locking mechanism.
After reading all of the replys that you received, I think you got the response that you were after! Getting people to think about there buying strategy 😁
Hi Zac, yeah we do have some mistakes. First off not to binge buy Silver, especially because you are anxious because of COVID. Don’t over spend on your balance. Second, Silver is not an investment to get rich quick, it’s an insurance against irresponsible QE, an anchor to your portfolio Third Silver’s been pressed for a long time and if you think silver is gonna spike in coming out 2,3,4,5........10....20 yrs we are wrong. We can’t predict the future, we can only prepare ourselves, Lastly, listen to all sides Metals will not, metals will, no it’s gonna be dollar first, Harry s dent, Brent Johnson, Mike Maloney, Jim Rickards, on and on. Let’s prepare for the worst case scenario, the best case and there’s always a middle. Take care brother. ✌️
It's not unreasonable if you had like a half a million in networth in my opinion. I stack every once and a while for fun and in case the dollar crashes or a depression hits. It's just the S&P just provides much better returns over the long term with dividends.
When you need to bug out to another country and you have to claim your $ coming with you. If it's in all the same US dollar then if you have 1000 coins (1oz x 1000 x 20$/ =value $20,000) but because it's currency value is 1$/ coin all you have to claim is 1000$.
FYI, Those in the US should consider that bullion is property and subject to state, county and local property taxes, which is a yearly expenditure. Since US government mint coins are not subject to property taxation, for instance, ASE's & AGE's are legal tender at the price listed on the coins. Even platinum mint coins which have a dollar value stamped on them are fiat valued. This makes the premium on these coins more reasonable & sensible when considering the property tax issue.

Look at silver as a work of art. My passion old poured bars. I do stack but it is all different and rare. Don't pay much over spot and I truly can't part with them. My gold stacking is the same sovereigns and colonial. Until death do we part. Good time to buy.
Bars will probably have to be assayed for purity, unless you have specific serialized (and notarized) documentation of the purity. Minted coins are easier to sell, etc. - IMO.
Where do i buy silver /gold in the uk?? And where do i sell it? i notice the buy back prices on the websites cancell out any market increases unless im missing something. ? Thanks
I still love the Perth mint dragon bars. I will have to pick some more up. I am still going to be buying silver just because if is fun to stack. Even if the market isn’t the best.
It's interesting to note people's thinking on survival in apocalyptic scenario, cultivating bushcraft techniques alongside off grid everything will reduce holding excessive metals.
I prefer an ETF that is based on actual physical reserves (not paper like comex). I find the premium for bars and coins is just too much! Just looked it up.... for me to buy a 10 oz coin, I would have to pay a premium of 20%!!!
Oh for the use of a Crystal ball for 5 seconds. Who is right who is wrong!! Very confusing crash no crash this year next year 10 years. The common thread I have taken is that the change is coming. I'm buying the ratio on Gold an Silver and hope that the price of both are manipulated down until the change to allow me to buy all the gold and silver my Fiat budget allows me. I only wish I started sooner. P.S. BYB I really enjoy your videos👍
Sure it will collapse, then a new currency will arise. The key is to continuously be aware of each type of commodities value. When something drops real low, buy it, when something sells for alot, sell it.
I turned a pantry into a secret room and I installed a 200 gallon fish tank in front of it good luck emptying the tank in time for the police to be at the location, and if they smash the tank they will be swimming... 😂
Nice, thankfully we’ll have currency to do business with you!!! Sadly for everyone else they’ll be desperate to try to get some kind of items with value.
I like big bars but can be more difficult to sell but it’s easy to melt it down and buy cheap molds I have just under 200 ozs of Silver all different kinds and 2 oz gold that’s my stash every once in a while I buy a 1 oz silver coin to add to it
Once you melt down, you destroy all previous 'certification'; and, will need to expend considerable cost for certified ASSAY in order to sell. Keep it SIMPLE.
But do you have the correct traceable serial numbers and exact stamping equipment to duplicate exactly the embossed coding & serial numbers that was stamped-in by the refiner ? probably not.
Richard Love : I have duffel bags in the closet for monster box and mini monster box. My 100 oz. bars are in a fancy wooden box in my entry. My pirate box!
People get too worked up about it all...just hide it so people can't trip over it, and it's safe. Heard hiding it in old paint cans then topping the paint back up is a good place.
Right now, the gold/silver ratio is about 80/1. This means it takes 80 oz of silver to buy one Oz of gold.So now is the time to buy silver. Then you wait for the ratio to drop to around 40 and then sell them for 2 Oz of gold.
An 1 ounce silver coin will be much easier to barter with then a 1 ounce gold coin. Besides that. Look at the gold silver ratio. During an economic crash you will be able to exchange maybe 20 silver coins for 1 gold coin. While at this moment it more like 78 or 79 for 1 gold coin.
Well, it's a fact that the gold silver ratio gap will narrow during an economic crash / depression. History has shown us that time after time. The crash will definitly be here soon, because of the exponential function. To keep the system going we need exponential debt growth. Which is impossible. Also look at the P/E ratio at the moment. The stockmarket is overheated and in major bubble territory. A must watch is Mike Maloney's visit to the money museum in Germany: ua-cam.com/video/OQWMd_NPSBA/v-deo.html

@Joe Batters I'm now at 280oz almost 3oz of gold it's addictive almost like the damn slot machines at the casino but it's an addiction you can't lose money on or a significant amount of money at least. Lol
Absolutely love reading these comments now with people predicting stock market crashes, inflation, buying low and selling high. Wish I knew the world of buying precious metals a year ago and I would've stocked up. With silver being around £18-£19 at the moment, it's difficult to decide whether to invest still or not. Some people are predicting $35 silver and some are saying $50 or even $100 silver. Do you think it's worth the investment at £18-£19 for my first precious metals investment?
For the longest time, people were not able to purchase precious metals. History repeats, fiat money has always collapsed. From the Roman Empire to what we see today, its always the same result. We're going into a deflation, then hyper inflation very soon.
I prefer gold over silver. Much smaller bid/ask spreads for gold and easier to liquidate. Much more compact and much less storage space required for a given amount of wealth. Then again I only own gold to have a non-correlated asset, but most of my wealth is in commercial real estate and the stock market.
I got only 400 oz and ive stopped buying silver since 2013. Yea im done i had to sell 50 oz for fanancial reasons, but im at 400 and will probably not buy any more, the silver suppression is real and it might be another 5 or 10 years when silver shoots to the moon, but ive stacked enough, no need to keep buying when its not going anywhere right now, I bought majority of it in 2010/11 , and im shocked we regressed so much in prize, im holding on to my silver but dont see a point buying anymore
Even though other countries are really stashing gold and silver by the tons? Why? Even though there's lots of manipulation in the market which must come to an end because the manipulators have run out of ways to keep the metals from rising? Even though silver is much needed in industry etc. and the massive amounts of silver that's used in technology cannot be recovered? There will be a shortage in the very near future which will cause a stampede for silver and there will be none available and the cost of existing silver will soar.
10% of the value of your total 'liquid/paper' assets should be in PMs; perhaps more when you realize a financial/currency catastrophe 'may' soon happen.
Physical Gold & Silver are THE antidote for inflation !!!! ... Gold also good for times of deflation; Silver can go up; and, can go well DOWN in value during a deflationary event. Nzm Ak has a much better ADVICE posting of (best) 'ratios' (for normal times **and bad**) in the following threads below. (expand 'all' comments and then do a find-search (command-F on a Mac) for "Nzm AK" to find his quite PROFOUND recommendation. 10% in PMs is based on gold or silver price expanding by ~7.5X - ie. gold to ~$10000±/oz. and Silver to ~$670±/oz. As such, during a currency reset and/or major market crash that 10% will expand in value to approx. 75% of your 'previous' value of wealth --- you lose 25% of your liq. assets, (while everyone else loses ~80-90%, 'wiped out'), and you have 'something substantial' with which to immediately restart your financials. Nzm Ak's offering is for 20% in precious metals ... the 'yield' could possibly be 150% - you've saved your assets and made a handsome (but untaxed) profit to boot - but perhaps a bit risky if deflation (of gold price, etc.) predominates. A 7.5X $gold increase is based on .... Currently there's approx. $23 Trillion in global currency, 51 million oz. of gold (reported). expect/assume a 40% fractional gold 'backing' of 'new' currency. Present Gold price @ ~$1300/oz.t Calculation: $23,000,000,000,000 (.40) = 51,000,000 oz. gold X $"x" /oz. gold, .... solve for "x". x = ~$10,000/oz.; 10,000/1300 = 7.5X increase of $Gold. All approximate; and a lot of people's best guesstimates so far to date. I can 'see' this all happening by 2021 or 2022 at the latest. Perhaps sooner if the the trend-track or time-line to the 'official reset' becomes 'botched'. Carefully scutinize ANY public pronouncements by the IMF to keep 'close' to the eventual 'reset'. Lastly, if the $price of PMs starts to rapidly and exponentially 'move up' and well and *far above* their current 'resistance' level, it will probably be too late to buy due to supply issues due to previous futures contracts that are (finally) executed.
I personally think it's not a good idea to convert all your wealth into precious metals. I say about a 1/10th to 1/4th of total wealth accumulated. Or convert some over abundance of silver into gold. Maybe a good move to swap silver into gold when the gold silver ratio goes to 50-1 or better yet 30-1.
And some lead & gunpowder.A bit of silver hell yes.When you need food or gas .Not too many will fill your gas tank if all you have is gold, fractional ozs. Will help a bit.Youre correct A good mix is best.
I really don't care if silver is up or down. I just like owning it.
True - a good reason to buy!
I say, "Cash comes and goes. But bullion finds a home."
I agree, hopefully it goes up some as it's a forced way of me saving.
No one says anything about a $40,000 car parked on the street but worry about hiding 10,000 silver
Go figure
Funny old world we live in isn't it!
So true.... and a car is a depreciating asset
Cause the shiny 40K car will net you only half the second you started it even once, whereas 10K silver will remain 10K silver no matter what you do with it. Thats why ....
The times when car theft was a great way to make cash are all but gone. Even the premiums are insanly hard to get rid of except for when selling them in parts.
Which of course will magnifold your risks of being caught indefinatly.
Silver and gold you just remelt into neat bars/coins or skulls and sell them for 1,5x or more of spot price on ebay with zero risks.
you can easily and cheaply insure a car.
Terrible comparison. People buy cars for practical transportation/social status purposes. They don't expect the car to be a storer of wealth the way they would stocks/bonds/PMs/savings accounts. Only one of those things takes up physical space, the precious metals, and gold takes up 80x less space than silver. If you are storing wealth and desire compactness, portability, and the ability to grab it with your free hand as you escape a house fire, you get two 10oz gold bars, not the treasure chest full of silver in the video.
If anyone is worried about heavy your silver is, I'll be happy to store it for you.
It is a concern for most - but not one that they overly worry about!
No one has ever said "Shit... I have a pile of worthless silver"

..no just "oh shit my silver is only 1/5th worth what I bought it 20 years ago... (ie you bought in 1980 and retired in 2000)
@@richardbrout2242 I also love to cherry pick timeframes to justify my biases. DIVERSIFY YOUR INVESTMENTS. you cannot go back in time, so sacrifice some potential gain for reassurance you aren't going to get completely wiped out because you're all in on any one thing.

Having some silver and gold is a good idea, but make sure you are investing in the other two precious metals--guns and ammo!
Difficult to do that in the UK!
bow and arrow??
Knifes, (cross)bow and arrows help aswel.
Bow and arrows are forms of precious wood!
Actually it is very easy to get a gun in the UK - but it is only a shotgun that you can have. You just need to apply for a licence and the burden is on the police to say why you should not have it. So if you have no criminal record or mental health problems then you are good to go, very easy indeed.
I stack gold and silver , i am barely middle class and can afford to buy 10% worth of my annual income precious metals , i dont buy bigger than 1/4 oz gold rounds , or silver 10oz bars , i wont sell unless its life or death, and will be prepared for an economic collapse or whatever.
Sounds like you have a good plan there my friend
Markus Patients if its life or death for my family , i will get those potatoes or anything else any way i can , try to barter , or just take them if thats the way it has to be. Anyone trying to upcharge that much for a sack of patotoes deserves to taken down a peg or two.
so... shouldn't you stack potatoes instead?
ste holmes no seeds, they are light weight and can last a long time under the right conditions.
i find the 10 gm gold bars the best deal under one oz purchases.
when i was a kid back in early 70s we had a oil shortage and i never forgot hundreds of cars in line for each pump .... except for 1 line which had a sign but no line.
The sign said "Silver Dimes ONLY 1 gallon of gas."
Never forgot that.
So is silver good or bad that time
I think he means in crises silver wasnt of value, the gas that was needed had more demand and value
@@tanyongan1876I think it means that it was beyond good? There was no line because people didn't have it!
Your dreaming, 5150 !!
Ammo cans. Military surplus ammo tins hold the weight of silver very well (since they were designed to hold lead ammunition) and they stack great in a large safe.
You can easily get 500oz in a 50cal ammo can. And with that you could carry 1000oz to the car at a time, if you are worried about bug-out and portability.
Not to mention ammo cans are air-tight, so add a silica pack and less moisture means reduced tarnishing.
Thanks for the tip!
The ammo would be worth more than its weight in gold if ever SHTF
Yeah, agreed, have ammo for the SHFT.
But also consider surplus ammo cans for your silver storage because they are strong, portable, durable, and airtight. In my opinion much better than a monster box or other difficult to handle storage solution.
Markus Patients , I’m a Libertarian and NOT a Trump supporter, but all I’m doing is pointing out how ammo boxes are convenient to store and transport silver bullion.
One of the big complaints about silver stacking is its storage and difficultly to move/transport. I’ve found that surplus ammo boxes are a real convenient low-cost solution which scales well.
You can get 80K of silver into 10 ammo tins and they all fit perfectly in a medium sized safe..
It’s cool if you don’t want to be prepared for a financial crisis and depression, because I need people like you to do my hard labor while I pay you in silver dimes from my ammo can ;)
or you could put ammo in them?
Stock market and money crashes are not what will drive up silver prices. Technology demand for this metal and expensive mining cost will.
I think this the most likely scenario btoo
investment demand and industrial demand will like it always has (More investment demand though)
Actually... silver prices are going to drop because of technology...
Palladium and Platinum then. Both have industrial needs.
Both Palladium and platinum have dropped considerably in value lately. Platinum alone lost 6-700 dollars in value in 5 years.
If you are little tired of silver s upression take some time off of stacking....and enjoy yourself but don't sell your silver....thats what the elites are hoping for...they are trying to shake out PM investors
A good idea - thanks for sharing!
Play the miners, take profits to buy silver. NEVER trade your silver.
@@jaddy540 actually, I would trade my silver. when silver went to 40/oz, I sold 2000oz and swapped them to gold. worked quite well.
As we say in my country “When the property is yours it is never too heavy to carry”😉 Thank you for the video👍
I agree . If that's the case will be using it one by one ...not everything then what?
Until they take your property. Need to buy property that was bought from real money. Silver and gold.
I heard this one: What is too heavy for you to carry is not yours.
I stacked 300 oz of silver in my first year, and quickly realized that stacking beyond a monsterbox, 500oz was not so practical, because I have a nomadic lifestyle in the present (outside shtf scenarios), and therefore it is wiser to move from place to place with compact gold. I relocated my home this year, and the safety of my silver during transport was something notable.
@JohnnySilverfoot So you don't like gold? That's a rare strategy but stackers are innovative creatures, no doubt you can work it out.
The Silver /Gold Ratio is about 84-85 to one. That means you can buy 85 oz of silver for one oz of gold. Then you can sit back and wait for the ratio to fall. In 2008, the Ratio went to about 40. At that point, take your silver back to the coin shop and buy 2 oz of gold. Granted, you have to pay premiums, but even then, you are ahead and you took zero risk
A man named William Cooper who wrote the book Behold a Pale Horse who was only wrong one time in his entire life said these words. "JP Morgan & Company who have the most above-ground physical silver in the world will crash the metals market and people will panic and they will sell all of their silver whether it be physical or on the market, and then they will buy it all back for pennies on the dollar". Hold on to your physical silver because you are hedging against the dollar and the dollar will collapse just like Venezuela and every other civilization that had paper currency, they all collapsed, all you have to do is look at history and learn from it. Keep buying silver in fractional increments and 1 oz to 2 oz coins or bars maximum, there's not much you can do with a kilo bar. Silver is for one thing and one thing only, to barter and trade goods when you can't buy anything with Monopoly money. In the meantime just admire its beauty
" and one thing only, to barter and trade goods"
Yes, which is the very moment you will lose it ALL for a bottle of water.
Whereas the guy selling you the water will own ALL you precious silver and just can sit back and relax till things have calmed down again and then swap it all for cash, whores and houses and happily live ever after.
Whereas you guys will be left with an empty chocolate bar wrapper to remember the times when you lost it all in a minutes time ....
I worry stackers will attack those that try to 'profiteer' . 1oz of silver for a loaf of bread is a rip off but I don't intend to prepare and bake a loaf for my stacker neighbour so he can hold onto more of his metal. Stackers will need to accept that silver price may jump but water and bread will skyrocket if SHTF, and it's all equally fair/unfair
@@ginger8383 If SHTF then silver is no way of possible payment. Ask the guys living in warzones .... but people that believe in silver as a SHTF currency never will accept facts. Ever.
Dont get me wrong: you WILL get food for your silver. But you will NEVER get an even remotely fair trade ratio. Ever.
You will give all you have for that one bottle of clean drinking water. Trust me. Its just a matter of time.
On what page of the book did he write that. I ask because I never found it.
Conversely, whilst silver isn't as portable in an emergency, you couldn't easily barter for low value goods with gold without seriously overpaying (assuming people would actually barter for precious metals).
Yes, this is the bbest thing for silver in a SHTF. Gold not so much.
Assuming in an emergency. Why would folks barter goods they need for something they don't?
Correction the Dollar will never collapse its stamped on your 1oz American Eagles and other Countries Coins. The Federal Reserve NOTES with Dollar on their paper will.
Yes, it is interesting this - but not all silver is stamped with a $ denomination
Complete agree. I'm fairly new to staking but had quite a bit of money to put into PMs and quickly got up to 500oz (mix of bars and brit tubes). I'm stopping there and have moved onto gold, have 5oz and looking to increase over the next few years. From my short time in the game I'd say silver stacking is way more enjoyable due to the amazing pieces and frequency you can purchase but gold is way more economical in size, investment and as a store of value.
Just look at it as savings
Yes indeed a dollar spent on silver is a dollar saved!
a dollar spend on silver is a 93cents saved lol
Nzm Ak ouch
have to deduct premium tho
I would say 'hard savings'. It's not as liquid, but it's inflation proof.
You are 100% spot on about silver. Carrying that pile of silver when the music stops is not gonna be mission impossible. That's why I choose gold over silver.
I heard this argument to many times, so what if you have 1,200 ounces of gold what do you do. Open your mind, whether, you have 12 thousand ounces of silver or Gold, you should not be worried about how you could hide it in your house or having a huge safe because you should not have that much inside you house period. Bury it somewhere on your property in air tight and water proof containers, and be creative when doing so. I live in the U.S and whether Im investing 5,000 or 50,000 I believe Silver has the bigger upside than gold. If your Silver went up to 200 an ounce and you had 10 thousand ounces , that you bought on average of 18 dollars an once would you care about storage? Not me.!!!! I think if you stack Gold to diversify that's great, but if your doing it because it takes up less space, well then you know how I feel about that.
Thanks for the interesting comment - I like the idea of having buried treasure on my land!
+Markus Patients My point was based on what was said in the video about owning gold because its easier to hide or store. I wasnt speaking about economic collapse, but in the event of a economic collapse it will be nice to have gold and silver for after the reset, in my opinion. Why would I be worried about traveling with my gold or silver, I have no plans of going anywhere. If there was a complete collapse, my family and some close friends will have more than enough food and water for at least a year, and the means to protect ourselves god willing. What will a pocket full of gold get you in that time. If you think $20,000 in silver is hard to travel with, try hundreds of cases of water and at least a year worth of food. That's why I stack mostly silver in my opinion its the better investment. Im not worried about how Im going to travel with it, an unless you plan on eating your gold and silver during an economic collapse you should be preparing and staying put, thats just my opinion, to each there own. I hope you understand now why I think the logic behind stacking gold because its easy to store or travel with bothers me, especially when most people agree silver is the better buy right now. If your buying gold to diversify, I could see the logic in that. Peace.
Do you know how to REPAIR dry-wall? Can you do finish-work carpentry? Can you do simple masonry repair? .... guess where your PMs can go? .. all over the place and NOT in one single location !!!!!!!
1,000 a ounce silver is very likely. Especially when you look at the world currency system. We have a debt based economy that will completely bust. That’s a economic and mathematical certainty
It will not happen - they will not let it happen. It would mean rioting, death and war.
Whether its stacking PMs or investing in the stock market or playing poker, knowing WHEN to leave the game: .... its better to leave too early than to be 24 hours too late.
mason guritz : If that happens I would be a millionaire. I could pay off my house, buy a farm. That would be amazing!
So wrong... I honestly believe that a lot of people read and listen videos from " intelligent people" and then just form their opinions off that.. when they don't actually take the time to think for themselves.... there's never going to be an economic crash that's going to affect the world globally it just simply can't happen if it's bad business no one profits from it

This will be the first time ever humanity is in death and war.
Ive probably stacked about 350 oz so far this yr and have been stacking for a number of yrs now .
Recently i have started to diversify a little towards gold either way i my personal OPINION stacking is the way to go .
It is a great way to save for the future, no doubt. Big old sized stack you will have in 10 years though!
10% my savings in precious metals. Half in physical gold, since the creeps can outlaw it again and half in silver, since it holds it's value and won't be outlawed because of all the industrial applications it's needed for.
Great video with some interesting points, good job I am far away from 1200oz but I will take this video into consideration 🤙😀
I'v been buying Gold & Silver for 18 years and people talking about "how well silver is doing" are out of their minds. I've hardly seen a great increase in my silver stack. Gold on the other hand is a different matter entirely. £380 an ounce coin now £1500... Silver won't ever compete with that even if scientists declared it as a cure to Coronavirus. Stack in the shinny yellow stuff people.
Silver is ok. Gold is incredible. That's the difference.
Yeah, it is a long old game and one that requires careful timing in the markets to actually get a result. Gold is where the true value is. Thanks for stopping by!
I agree with you.
However for me, i like the psychological feeling of having a large amouny of silver.
Plus if its in silver, I cant be tempted to spend it.
Thats why I buy a 1/4 ounce gold britainia and 5 x silver britannias.
some point to agree, but it depends on our strategy. if you are investing in ratio, you will definitely hoarding silver and hoarding bigger block such as 1kg above.but, if you are diversifying in metal, you would do some percentage of what you are holding.in metal, i do 2:6:2 portfolio.20% in gold, 60% in ratio and 20% in silver.as of current ratio, you can say that my strategy is 20% gold, 80% silver.as of total diversification of wealth, you might want to consider 2:3:3:2 portfolio ratio that will be 20% metal, 30% cash, 30% land and 20% others.just sharing my strategy. cheers mate.
Thanks for the insight. Very interesting
Damn Good Advice !!!!!!
In 'normal' times, those that only have occasional severe stock/equity market crashes, 10% PMs, 20% cash, etc. is the usual. But, with impending serial market crashes combined with a threatening currency collapse, then probable deflation followed by hyperinflation (or vice versa) for several years thereafter, probably soon oncoming ... I agree with you @ 2:3:3:2. Also if you have significant liquid wealth, its probably best to store your PMs in bulk in several 'out of country' private vaults ... out of the reach of your 'home' government.
i said about 2:6:2 for PM, but sadly i cant defeat my lust for gold.. its been 4:4:2 now..
ohhh.. i do really love gold
A very good video putting years of stacking into a practical reality.
Thank you.
I am stacking silver, but only because I like to play with it at times. I am not stacking for investment. I will likely pass this to my kids or grandkids.
Thanks for sharing, passing things on is a great thing to do for the future generations.
I’m back!
I have a friend that has been stacking for ten years so he has now accumulated over 4400 ounces of silver ! It can be moved in 15 minutes.
how far and to WHERE???????
I'm a stacker and agree that over time, one could wind up with several drawers full of heavy Silver. Had I approximately $27k to invest in precious metals, I'd likely invest a good $20k of it in Gold as it'll take up less space and despite the fact that Gold is heavy, my "stack" would weigh considerably less if most of it were in Gold.
I think Gold and Silver as a Good store of Wealth and time has proved it! The stack is our insurance Policy in retirement...along with some other items...would love to pass it down...but if things get hard will part with some or most of it to live fairly well...store in at least 5 Different places. Good topic my friend.:)))
Thanks for the comment - good idea to split up the storage for sure!
PART TIME PREPPERS silver as a good store of value? Are you out of your mind - it went from 8 to 16 in 37 years. The dow in that time went up 10 times, so silver lost 80 % of its value.
On the bright side, fiat currency collapses every 250 years, and for a few brief week before that collapse silver will be a great investment. The problem with stacking is the difficulty of selling silver, not the ease of buying it. You need to be able to sell very fast to take advantage of periodic spikes that last a week or two.
It is about how valuable the currency was at various times - nothing to do with raw numbers of value.

Gold and silver prices are sharply down and near their daily lows in early-afternoon U.S. trading Monday. Gold notched a nearly 1.5-year low and fell below key technical support at $1,200.00, while silver scored a two-year low. A surging U.S. dollar index and solidly lower crude oil prices were pressuring the precious metals. December gold futures were last down $17.10 an ounce at $1,202.00. September Comex silver was last down $0.24 at $15.055 an ounce.
They have taken a beating today!
Not a good investment; but a great hedge against inflation
This is why I buy silver and gold, so all good!
But if you are a poor person it makes all the sense in the world as an Investment AND a store of wealth...... Silver is the Poor man's Gold you know, no you don't know.
put them in .50 cal ammo cans! It will be heavy but not that bad, you can easily carry two at a time. The ammo cans also stack nicely and are very secure and durable.
Thanks for the tip!
I have just started buying silver and I’m leaning toward buying in fractional amounts. I’m interested specifically Valcambi silver and gold. I understand I’m paying a premium for the amounts I’m buying but I’m stacking for a SHTF scenario. Also good point on talking about the transport of your silver.
The 20% VAT rate on silver (and platinum) in the UK is a real killer to any potential profits and then you have to pay dealer's commissions on top otherwise they would be an excellent investment. Also, as you pointed out a big stack of silver presents problems in home security whereas as you say gold is much easier to hide but then silver is much more barterable so that's the trade off. Still these precious metals are a good hedge against a potential economic collapse but that also brings into the question that governments have confiscated gold in the past in such times of hardship and uncertainty.
VAT is a killer - fortunately we can still buy from European dealers and use the VAT reduction scheme to get them basically VAT free. That still does not take away the issue of weight and home security! Thanks for the comment my friend!
Who gives a shit how heavy it is - if an event happens you pay someone a few ounces to carry it for you.
And what happens when that person walks away from you with your silver?
I just bought my first 10oz bar at spot value when silver was priced at $20.80CAN/oz.. unfortunately I had to pay $19.90CAN for shipping so in my eyes an oz of silver is an oz of silver. I essentially paid for 11oz and got 10oz, with the CAN currency factored in well that's a whole other variable to consider. I feel I bought at a good time. I will continue to stack but I will be focusing more on the fact of an oz of silver is just an oz of silver, I will not focus on expensive over priced coins that have a higher premium, plain Jane bars all day..
The area that I am moving to in Europe has a 40% tax on silver. So gold is what I will have to stack for a while.
Ouch, gold is the answer then!

14.85 an oz right now... No tax in the US and on top of that I work for a coin and bullion company so I get it at or just below spot sometimes for physical silver. Can't go wrong right now. In 10 years I can see it hovering steady around 23-25 or maybe 25-28 (just like it hovers between mid $14 to mid $18 now) with a big jump like the time it hit $48 an ounce in there somewhere but it won't last so sell and re purchase when it bottoms out again. Silver usually jumps when countries make large purchases. China stocking up on silver made it jump to an all time high, the speculation on why they bought and if it was because of a possible switch to the gold standard made their currency shoot up in value too. So when a big jump happens look around for the causes and see all the places you can make money because if a country switches to the gold standard like was speculated to be happening, their currency is just as good. If it ends up they don't switch, which is usually the case, it still went up because you buy low sell high. So in the end you make more money to put back into PM's until you're ready to cash out or the time comes when you're going to need them.
Around 4:20 I noticed he mentioned fleeing home in an apocalyptic scenario with a heavy load of silver. Fortunately in the U.S. some people can stay home because we can stock any number of firearms we want. Anyone tries to loot my house, they will absolutely be shot. Calling the Sheriff will always be the "after I deal with the intruder" option. If you can...grab your gun, not your phone. And I wish the U.K. had that luxury.
But buying silver shouldn't necessarily be looking to turn a big short-term profit. 2 reasons to buy:
1. To make the long-term (decades if you have) investment.
2. Because (regarding America), a future involving the democratic party looks very grim on the dollar's value. Things keep going down the same path, silver will skyrocket as the dollar nosedives. People with paper and digital bank accounts will really struggle. And silver value will only go up. If you have enough silver...and guns to defend it...you'll have enough money to provide for your family for years. Better than joining the millions who'll hunt for food. Better to let them do the dirty work, risk their lives against other hunters, and hand them pieces of silver for game, right?
I got 2 monster boxes of Maple Leaf for just US$20000 when the spot price was around $18. Hard to imagine you spent $7000 more for just 200 oz. when the spot price was significant lower then.
It's not so much the holding of silver that is smart, but the holding of USD that is stupid.
One way to look of it for sure!
Percentage wise, in the past, which metal moved up the fastest? Gold or silver? Which metal has more diversified uses, beyond a monetary unit?
I would have to say silver!
Bingo
Most severe financial crisis events typically have INFLATIONARY and DEFLATIONARY phases.
In an INFLATIONARY or hyper-INFLATION (most common) situation both Gold and Silver perform very well.
Historically, In a severe DEFLATIONARY situation, gold 'can' decrease in value (~as during the three severe financial crisis of the 20th century), Gold decreased by ~40% from the pre-crisis value) while Silver went VERY 'negative' vs. its pre-crisis value.
Gold is vastly superior to hold during a DEFLATIONARY event, versus Silver. Too much RISK to hold too much silver during a DEFLATIONARY event - IMO. Dont limit yourself by holding only Gold OR only holding Silver. Have both to cover your 'possibilities'. More Gold than Silver is the better bet - IMO.
500 oz cap for me, then going gold
Thanks for sharing, sounds about right to me!
I have a similar strategy with converting a Silver cap into Gold except of course with some pieces of sentimental value.
Maple Leaf coins and other CRM coins minted after 2018 are no longer supposed to milk spot. So it depends what year they are.
Never selling silver for fiat currency. I stack in terms of direct tradeability. I have everything from grams to kilos.
Good stuff, a diverse stack.
You are right, in a worst case scenario it's better to have gold instead of a lot of silver if you have to carry it. I live in the EU so tax are a also a problem.
I have my foundation of cheap bullion and constitutional silver so I try to switch more to gold and buy only silver coins that I like for my collection.
It is a horrible situation to pay so much tax on silver. But that is life. Gold is always going to be better for us here.
You’re right, there is a huge difference between euro stackers and American stackers. We don’t run in the USA
It is two separate world's almost
Buying silver isn't a very bad idea, it's all about how much you own. Depending on how much you have, you may wish to earn passive income in the equity markets, but if you never owned any, and you have the money, buying AG in the $16.00-$17 price range is a fabulous idea here in 2018. Each ounce of physical is hypothecated by a factor of well over 50oz in the flagrantly illegal futures market whereby derivative instruments allow bullion banks to sell invisible, nonexistent virtual ounces in a naked short fashion and keep the price on AG ridiculously suppressed. The Gold: Silver ratio should have AG should be priced at 1:10 or arguably 1:8.9 as each ounce of gold now only equates to roughly 8.9oz of silver pulled from the ground, and the current GSR is well over 75! This makes silver undervalued by a factor of at least 8, and if silver prices correlated with fiat goverment paper expansion over the last 10 years, its price would be well over $150/oz, and based on Aggregate US Debt over $570/oz (see www.usdebtclock.org/, which USED to have Silver: US Debt over $850/oz)! Why do you think JP Morgan is hoarding AG and not AU? All about the inane GSR! Premiums in the US are far, far less.
I’m a very new stacker but I studied on it for at least two years before I started buying in a significant way. I don’t really worry too much about an apocalyptic scenario in the United States and I’m not trying to get rich quick. I’m also NOT trying to prepare for the complete collapse of the dollar.
My goal is to freeze the buying power of todays dollar the best I can and hand it down to my 15 year old son and allow him to exit my holdings the best he can.
I like hearing opinions like yours and I certainly appreciate the time everyone spends explaining their goals and why they stack the way they do. I would never criticize anyone for explaining their strategy.
I do worry about the strength of the US dollar as it can be fairly volatile depending on so many variables such as
The sitting Presidents values on spending.
Social and economic values and the agendas they will FORCE FEED THE US population at any cost. Right now the most popular agendas are Gay and Green I think but it could change to anything at anytime. The US Gov has increased our national deficit enormously while propping up solar panel and electric car companies that will never see an honest return. There’s a lot of pay offs to still be done and more to come. It will be a long time before we crawl out of Obamanomics.
The Unknown
It’s just FUN to stack and learn.
And of course War (but not in a apocalyptic way).
There’s also another reason I am stacking. Now that I have a “little” confidence in buying I am just addicted to it. Lol I joke but it’s true! Do not confuse this with greed because I’m not a greedy person at all. I have been accused of hoarding because I tend to keep everything I can but with stacking at least I’m hoarding something valuable and for a good reason or reasons. Lol
I just love silver and gold although I don’t have much gold to speak of yet! Maybe that will change as I flip my silver into gold someday when the time is right.
That is the best way to look at things - you did the right things!
The problem with outdoor storage of silver is the corrosion building up. Gold doesn´t corrode so you can bury it. I will also run into the same problem, but i will sell (trade in gold) some stuff when i am at about 50 kg of silver. Silver is for saving and maybe making some money, and Gold is an absolute wealth storage for long time. In case of a crisis it is not good to have only gold. Buying a bread with an ounce of gold is a bad idea. An ounce of silver sounds better and the people don´t rob you when you have 3 or 4 silver coins in your pocket.
This is why you can dig up a 2000 year old pile of gold and it looks so good.
BURY, Ounce......correcting your spelling.
In the US, for BARTERING purposes, one should have 'junk' silver (90% silver pre-1964) coins: dimes, quarters, 50¢ pieces. Use 'junk' silver for bartering, save the .9999 grade for your storage of wealth. Many of the PM dealers offer 'bags' of 'junk' silver coins. 'Junk' silver in the US presently is in the range of ~$12-13/troy oz. ... 0.9 X 'ask' + (if) premium. When the SHTF, do you really want to be flashing $10-13000+ gold 1 oz. coins or $700 silver 1 oz. coins in front of terrified & starving mobs of the 'new' proletariat, especially when buying a quart of milk and a loaf of bread or a ham & cheese sandwich on rye bread?
Although if you do the estimate 'future' calculations, that milk will probably be $35/qt., the loaf @ $25 and that ham sandwich will be about $45.00 in 'new' (still and yet, 'semi-fiat') dollars.
If you bury, know that all silver corrodes; 0.9999 gold does not corrode; but less than 24 kt. WILL eventually corrode.
I am from Germany, and i don´t speak/write perfect english. But you understand what i mean....
I got a easy solution just liquidate you’re silver for gold and now You have a quarter of the weight space and metals same value
Yea was thinking same..easy solution 👍
You hit it exactly..... place the equivalent cost in gold next to the silver... thats all you have to do.
Then answer the questions
how much above ground silver and gold is there ?
How much below ground ?
The ratio above is 1-1
Below 1 - 10
So 1-80 ratio is reasonable ?
Yes, the ratios are all out of whack that is for sure.
The ratio above is not 1-1 lol theres FAR FAR FAR MORE ABOVEGROUND GOLD THAN SILVER.
I value your opinion, it is important to have gold for bug out purposes but when the reset happens silver will increase at least 40 times and it will pass your wealth onto the next financial realm and you’ll increase your wealth by 40 times at least.
Silver is good if things get bad as long as you don’t have to bug out. So it’s good to have both as long as you have a safe place to store it.
I'm not sure we will see the reset in our lifetime - but if it does it would be a good day for us stackers thanks for stopping by!
Spot on by the time the sheeple wake up the price will be at the moon.
Great video my friend. That is A LOT of silver indeed and you make some great points about why it might not be a good idea to buy that much. The weight is one I used in my vid asking the question about when do you have TOO much silver. Well thought about. Always good to reevaluate why we stack and how we stack. Thanks for sharing.
Platinum stacker, here. When fiat currency fails, its better to be safe! Good job!
Yes indeed - platinum is a good bet right now!
When you have 1200 ounces of silver, think that due to industrial demand, silver will definitely go up, maybe even 1 ounce of gold = 4-20 ounces of silver at least permanently, for every 100 people who buy gold 1 buys silver as a speculative investment, there are 85,000 applications in industry for silver (the price is raised by the people, but like gold) I hope to collect 1200 ounces soon, thank you
I have possibly half of that amount of silver, and it is heavy, but I don't carry this all day around with me. Stacking this in a save vault somewhere, is the way to go. Keep maybe a few coins on hand to run with, if need be. No, that pile is a sight for sore eyes.
Acquire the metal first, and worry about how to store it later.
I agree that you should have a bug out plan and some pocket silver. But I think it is very unlikely that the SHTF where you need to bug out in less than few minutes is likely.
Nicolaas Nel : I have my monster boxes in duffel bags in the closet. I also have a hand truck. Not a big deal.
@@faithsrvtrip8768 Great Idea if you can reinforce your closet against malicious parties. even better if you can hide it in a cavity somewhere and just bust through the wall and gtfo if the time comes.
I use silver as a savings account. At my old bank I got 2% a year but with silver I’ll likely get far more than that
I can imagine that your premiums for that much silver and of the type you've show, would probably run you over $2000 dollars. AND, that is just the "Buy" premium. Now, add your "Sell" premium and that will cost you almost 16% of the value of your hoard. Yep that is a bad investment, unless you plan to hold on to it for more than a few years until the price goes up at least 16% or so, to cover your loss from the premiums. Unless there is a financial collapse the price will continue to be manipulated such that you will not realize their true value for some time to come.
Yes indeed, premiums are a bitch
Precious metals are for storing wealth not getting rich. When a SHTF moment arrives you're not going to exchange it for fiat currency. You're going to want to exchange it for other real assets like real estate. You'll also need it to barter should monetary systems tank. As for storing 1200 oz of silver try using an ammo can. You can find them at most sporting goods stores for around $15 and they're fireproof. They're also easy to fit with a locking mechanism.
Where you get the money from to buy all this Silver??
This is not all for me - it is part of a collaborative purchase
I bought 3500 oz silver (1 oz silver eagles) and 64 oz 1 oz gold eagles since end of Aug 2018. Stand pat you will be rewarded.
After reading all of the replys that you received, I think you got the response that you were after! Getting people to think about there buying strategy 😁
Yes indeed!
By far the most honest say from a stacker. Thanks, backyard you made me realize my mistake sooner.
Thanks my friend, I am a real world stacker.
What is that mistake ??
Is There Any mistake of buying silver ??
Hi Zac, yeah we do have some mistakes. First off not to binge buy Silver, especially because you are anxious because of COVID. Don’t over spend on your balance.
Second, Silver is not an investment to get rich quick, it’s an insurance against irresponsible QE, an anchor to your portfolio
Third Silver’s been pressed for a long time and if you think silver is gonna spike in coming out 2,3,4,5........10....20 yrs we are wrong. We can’t predict the future, we can only prepare ourselves,
Lastly, listen to all sides Metals will not, metals will, no it’s gonna be dollar first, Harry s dent, Brent Johnson, Mike Maloney, Jim Rickards, on and on.
Let’s prepare for the worst case scenario, the best case and there’s always a middle.
Take care brother. ✌️
@@PartTimeBallroomDancing yesser my dude thanks ! I will buy my silver tomorrow
30% over spot? Damn!! I'm glad I'm here in America. I pay $1.05 over spot.
Welcome to my world!
It's not unreasonable if you had like a half a million in networth in my opinion. I stack every once and a while for fun and in case the dollar crashes or a depression hits. It's just the S&P just provides much better returns over the long term with dividends.
This is very wise. It is actually the topic for my video this Wednesday
YES ANYONE WHO DOESN'T WANT THEIR SILVER I WILL GLADLY TAKE IT
I don't think many people will take you up on that!
Does anyone have any idea where can I find direct fit capsules for a 1 oz Britannia?
Ebay is probably your best bet.
Thanks!
When you need to bug out to another country and you have to claim your $ coming with you. If it's in all the same US dollar then if you have 1000 coins (1oz x 1000 x 20$/ =value $20,000) but because it's currency value is 1$/ coin all you have to claim is 1000$.
This is one way to look at it - but be prepared for the authorities to counter that and charge you a lot of tax.
If you can lift it.Gold is more manageable. 1000 oz. weighs 62 lb.
FYI, Those in the US should consider that bullion is property and subject to state, county and local property taxes, which is a yearly expenditure.
Since US government mint coins are not subject to property taxation, for instance, ASE's & AGE's are legal tender at the price listed on the coins. Even platinum mint coins which have a dollar value stamped on them are fiat valued. This makes the premium on these coins more reasonable & sensible when considering the property tax issue.
Wise idea, same in the UK with paying a little more for capital gains tax exempt coins
One good way to secure precious metals is to not tell anyone you have precious metals.
Yes, this is very important!
Exactly put!!

Look at silver as a work of art. My passion old poured bars. I do stack but it is all different and rare. Don't pay much over spot and I truly can't part with them. My gold stacking is the same sovereigns and colonial. Until death do we part. Good time to buy.
Yes indeed - I have the same appreciation for artistic coins and bars.
Bars will probably have to be assayed for purity, unless you have specific serialized (and notarized) documentation of the purity. Minted coins are easier to sell, etc. - IMO.
Where do i buy silver /gold in the uk?? And where do i sell it? i notice the buy back prices on the websites cancell out any market increases unless im missing something. ? Thanks
Gold - search Atkinson's bullion.
How much silver you need?
I wil just buy a cpl hundread quids worth every few weeks as and when
Ok, sounds like a good plan 😉 I don't know any good suppler for UK then. Hope you find a fair price 😁
Quasar Code- lots, where are you?
I still love the Perth mint dragon bars. I will have to pick some more up. I am still going to be buying silver just because if is fun to stack. Even if the market isn’t the best.
Those dragon bars are very cool.
It's interesting to note people's thinking on survival in apocalyptic scenario, cultivating bushcraft techniques alongside off grid everything will reduce holding excessive metals.
Yes, you cannot survive on silver alone.
Gold and Silver is amazing to get right now
I prefer an ETF that is based on actual physical reserves (not paper like comex). I find the premium for bars and coins is just too much! Just looked it up.... for me to buy a 10 oz coin, I would have to pay a premium of 20%!!!
Oh for the use of a Crystal ball for 5 seconds. Who is right who is wrong!! Very confusing crash no crash this year next year 10 years. The common thread I have taken is that the change is coming. I'm buying the ratio on Gold an Silver and hope that the price of both are manipulated down until the change to allow me to buy all the gold and silver my Fiat budget allows me. I only wish I started sooner.
P.S. BYB I really enjoy your videos👍
If we had a crystal ball then we would be billionaires! Thanks for dropping by I appreciate you watchingN
Sure it will collapse, then a new currency will arise. The key is to continuously be aware of each type of commodities value. When something drops real low, buy it, when something sells for alot, sell it.
It is unlikely - but one that if happens I am well prepared for.
Also, think about all of this from the eyes of a third world $1 a day kinda perspective. This is Kingly!
I turned a pantry into a secret room and I installed a 200 gallon fish tank in front of it good luck emptying the tank in time for the police to be at the location, and if they smash the tank they will be swimming... 😂
Ok... interesting approach
Genius 👍👍
What’s the best silver coins to buy and what’s the best price to get it for? Thank you in advance.
I own a still, when the economy collapses you'll swap your silver for my booze.. See you then..
But why wait? Id buy your booze now.
Hope Filled Sinner you should get a silver still.
Nice, thankfully we’ll have currency to do business with you!!! Sadly for everyone else they’ll be desperate to try to get some kind of items with value.
smart :) liquid gold, nay, palladium! moonshine is the Palladin's Potion!
I like big bars but can be more difficult to sell but it’s easy to melt it down and buy cheap molds I have just under 200 ozs of Silver all different kinds and 2 oz gold that’s my stash every once in a while I buy a 1 oz silver coin to add to it
Yes indeed - the bars are great and have a great feel to them.
Once you melt down, you destroy all previous 'certification'; and, will need to expend considerable cost for certified ASSAY in order to sell. Keep it SIMPLE.
RichH i have a .99fs stamp you can buy them cheap
But do you have the correct traceable serial numbers and exact stamping equipment to duplicate exactly the embossed coding & serial numbers that was stamped-in by the refiner ? probably not.
Security for 6000 oz cost me less than $10.00 . Two plastic buckets from the hardware shop.
That sounds like a great plan.
Richard Love : I have duffel bags in the closet for monster box and mini monster box. My 100 oz. bars are in a fancy wooden box in my entry. My pirate box!
People get too worked up about it all...just hide it so people can't trip over it, and it's safe.
Heard hiding it in old paint cans then topping the paint back up is a good place.
Right now, the gold/silver ratio is about 80/1. This means it takes 80 oz of silver to buy one Oz of gold.So now is the time to buy silver. Then you wait for the ratio to drop to around 40 and then sell them for 2 Oz of gold.
Yes indeed - this was a good buy, but I was playing devils advocate for a moment!
I personally think that much silver would be a great idea.... we're personally working on it as we speak
Sounds good to me!
An 1 ounce silver coin will be much easier to barter with then a 1 ounce gold coin. Besides that. Look at the gold silver ratio. During an economic crash you will be able to exchange maybe 20 silver coins for 1 gold coin. While at this moment it more like 78 or 79 for 1 gold coin.
You make good points!
That's a lot of speculation right there.
Well, it's a fact that the gold silver ratio gap will narrow during an economic crash / depression. History has shown us that time after time. The crash will definitly be here soon, because of the exponential function. To keep the system going we need exponential debt growth. Which is impossible. Also look at the P/E ratio at the moment. The stockmarket is overheated and in major bubble territory. A must watch is Mike Maloney's visit to the money museum in Germany: ua-cam.com/video/OQWMd_NPSBA/v-deo.html
I'm planning to drop $10,000 on silver pretty soon, I think while it's low.
It is pretty low!
Is it better to invest in silver bars or silver coins? I’m just starting what is the best option?
I buy whenever silver drops below $18 an ounce...Apmex is the best!
Buy buy buy then!

@Joe Batters I'm now at 280oz almost 3oz of gold it's addictive almost like the damn slot machines at the casino but it's an addiction you can't lose money on or a significant amount of money at least. Lol
Absolutely love reading these comments now with people predicting stock market crashes, inflation, buying low and selling high. Wish I knew the world of buying precious metals a year ago and I would've stocked up. With silver being around £18-£19 at the moment, it's difficult to decide whether to invest still or not. Some people are predicting $35 silver and some are saying $50 or even $100 silver. Do you think it's worth the investment at £18-£19 for my first precious metals investment?
For the longest time, people were not able to purchase precious metals. History repeats, fiat money has always collapsed. From the Roman Empire to what we see today, its always the same result. We're going into a deflation, then hyper inflation very soon.
Well, time will tell.
@@BackyardBullion - Time will prove.
I prefer gold over silver. Much smaller bid/ask spreads for gold and easier to liquidate. Much more compact and much less storage space required for a given amount of wealth. Then again I only own gold to have a non-correlated asset, but most of my wealth is in commercial real estate and the stock market.
Thanks - my thoughts
I got only 400 oz and ive stopped buying silver since 2013. Yea im done i had to sell 50 oz for fanancial reasons, but im at 400 and will probably not buy any more, the silver suppression is real and it might be another 5 or 10 years when silver shoots to the moon, but ive stacked enough, no need to keep buying when its not going anywhere right now, I bought majority of it in 2010/11 , and im shocked we regressed so much in prize, im holding on to my silver but dont see a point buying anymore
I personally cannot see silver shooting the moon in our lifetimes. Maybe but who knows.
Even though other countries are really stashing gold and silver by the tons?
Why? Even though there's lots of manipulation in the market which must come to an end because the manipulators have run out of ways to keep the metals from rising? Even though silver is much needed in industry etc. and the massive amounts of silver that's used in technology cannot be recovered? There will be a shortage in the very near future which will cause a stampede for silver and there will be none available and the cost of existing silver will soar.
10% of the value of your total 'liquid/paper' assets should be in PMs; perhaps more when you realize a financial/currency catastrophe 'may' soon happen.
Physical Gold & Silver are THE antidote for inflation !!!! ... Gold also good for times of deflation; Silver can go up; and, can go well DOWN in value during a deflationary event.
Nzm Ak has a much better ADVICE posting of (best) 'ratios' (for normal times **and bad**) in the following threads below. (expand 'all' comments and then do a find-search (command-F on a Mac) for "Nzm AK" to find his quite PROFOUND recommendation.
10% in PMs is based on gold or silver price expanding by ~7.5X - ie. gold to ~$10000±/oz. and Silver to ~$670±/oz. As such, during a currency reset and/or major market crash that 10% will expand in value to approx. 75% of your 'previous' value of wealth --- you lose 25% of your liq. assets, (while everyone else loses ~80-90%, 'wiped out'), and you have 'something substantial' with which to immediately restart your financials.
Nzm Ak's offering is for 20% in precious metals ... the 'yield' could possibly be 150% - you've saved your assets and made a handsome (but untaxed) profit to boot - but perhaps a bit risky if deflation (of gold price, etc.) predominates.
A 7.5X $gold increase is based on ....
Currently there's approx. $23 Trillion in global currency, 51 million oz. of gold (reported). expect/assume a 40% fractional gold 'backing' of 'new' currency. Present Gold price @ ~$1300/oz.t
Calculation: $23,000,000,000,000 (.40) = 51,000,000 oz. gold X $"x" /oz. gold, .... solve for "x". x = ~$10,000/oz.; 10,000/1300 = 7.5X increase of $Gold.
All approximate; and a lot of people's best guesstimates so far to date.
I can 'see' this all happening by 2021 or 2022 at the latest. Perhaps sooner if the the trend-track or time-line to the 'official reset' becomes 'botched'.
Carefully scutinize ANY public pronouncements by the IMF to keep 'close' to the eventual 'reset'.
Lastly, if the $price of PMs starts to rapidly and exponentially 'move up' and well and *far above* their current 'resistance' level, it will probably be too late to buy due to supply issues due to previous futures contracts that are (finally) executed.
if deflation predominates, you still have 30% of cash or liquid to get you afloat.
I personally think it's not a good idea to convert all your wealth into precious metals. I say about a 1/10th to 1/4th of total wealth accumulated. Or convert some over abundance of silver into gold. Maybe a good move to swap silver into gold when the gold silver ratio goes to 50-1 or better yet 30-1.
I agree - it should form a small part of your overall portfolio
Bugout? Bugout where? Melt your silver into your diesel truck chassis and paint over it lol
That is a good idea!
Backyard Bullion that’s a retarded idea!
And some lead & gunpowder.A bit of silver hell yes.When you need food or gas .Not too many will fill your gas tank if all you have is gold, fractional ozs. Will help a bit.Youre correct A good mix is best.
