Silver: What Makes It The Perfect Investment Opportunity?
A lot of people have been asking me why I prefer silver over gold and other precious metals. It’s easy to understand why they would be asking something like that. After all, silver is only at about $18.78/oz right now. On the other hand, gold is at a whopping $1139.86/oz today. So if you look at it without taking anything into consideration, gold might be the better investment due to its higher prices.
Try to look beyond silver’s current low prices and try to find out why the price is so low compared to gold. Historically, you can buy an ounce of gold with 10 ounces of silver. But right now, you would need 61 ounces of silver to buy an ounce of gold. So what’s happening?
We have an issue of paper silver selling. I’m going to tell you straight out. Paper silver selling is fraud. Like I always say, if you didn’t lift it, you don’t own it. If you think your bank or brokerage house is storing the silver for you, you’re likely mistaken. The true value of silver is its honest weight and measures and it’s not some paper with some numbers on it. Paper silver selling is hyperinflation and it helps suppress the true value of real silver. Once people realizes the deception and stop “investing” in paper silver, price will go up to its historical value.
There’s also the issue of misinformation by the media. The news coverage is manipulated to make it look like that silver isn’t performing. Price is also widely manipulated. Should you be concerned? Let people like me do the investigation on what’s happening. Take advantage of the situation by buying silver while the price is still low. But do some research to arm yourself with the knowledge. Once the manipulation is exposed, prices will go up to its rightful place. That will be very bad if you don’t own any silver.
There is also the deception called the dollar. The paper money’s intrinsic value is a big fat zero! In all history of the world, every paper currency ever printed has eventually gone down to its value of zero. The Fed sure isn’t helping because they just keep on printing these pieces of paper. Its intrinsic value is nothing and it’s only a matter of time before inflation catches up and brings it down back where it belongs. When that happens, we will rely on the stored value of silver and gold.
Every day, more and more people are waking up from the deception. People will start buying silver because it’s cheaper than gold. As the paper money continues to devalue even further, more and more people will continue to buy silver. Once the currency crashes to zero, silver and gold will be the rightful money. There will be more demand than there already is. Remember, silver is also widely used in electronics and photography. It will be scarce and the prices will go up. You do the simple math. Buy silver now while the ratio is 61:1. Then compute how much your investment is going to earn once it goes back to its historical values of 10:1. It shouldn’t be that hard to compute.

I agree, Bill. It would be harder to get silver and gold if paper money devalues even further.

It is great to be able to leave a comment on your website. I listen to king news and like ted butler, I’ve only been investing for a year. I’ve read a lot of articles and follow certain people. Jason Hummel puts them to shame. You know your on the right side of the issue with a guy like Jason Hummel on your side.

Hi.
I was wondering why, if you are against paper, do you advocate owning mining stocks? It would be better to put that capital into the physical metal itself instead of some paper representation of the company’s ownership of it. What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Cyrus,
Thanks for the question. I don’t advocate owning mining stocks. Everyone will tell you that I’m all for physical silver. But I can never stop everyone from investing in stocks so I help them out as much as I can. Invest in physical gold and silver but if you personally want to invest in stocks, at least invest in mining stocks.

Hi Tyler,
Thanks for the kind words. Don’t worry about investing for only a year. As long as you’re on the right track, you’re on the right road. Oh, and it’s Hommel, not Hummel.
