As a single retired Man w/Dog I was able to accumulate 500 oz of silver and only 1/2 oz of gold. Because of two floods I went through I have learned to be really frugal and I can live on very little. I want to buy more gold, I am lucky to have anything. I think I will do alright in an emergency. Good video.
I finally reached my goal several months ago... I have been a Silver & Gold stacker since 1998 when Silver was $3.50 per ounce... My Goal was originally 10 monster boxes of ASE and I reached that by 2008 and I upped my goal to 20 but have been struggling to get there for the last 12 years as the Monster Box price increased from $3,200. to $18,000. I am now all in and holding..
Could've put that money to work since the late 90's in tech stocks & real estate. Instead gold and silver was down for much of the last 3 decades. Yeah you got silver for $X dollars, but everything has gone up to $XXX dollars, and silver is struggling at $XX dollars for the last decade? Why do you need so much? It's going to be a problem when you need to move quickly. What was something that you saw or made you think to put lots of money into this way early? I'm trying to understand how someone could think the sky is falling and to hedge inflation when the economy was really good for 30+ years. I'm assuming you're probably older than most stackers & this is more about passing to heirs than for yourself to spend and enjoy?
Agree strongly with diversification. As much as my wife and I love stacking, which is currently 200+ oz silver and 40+ oz gold, it’s a small portion (2%) of our total assets which include real estate, individual stocks, mutual funds and cash. IMHO, each has an important place in our finances.
@@McRuffin Thank you. We’re in our 60’s and retired… we’ve truly been blessed, but we also found the harder we worked and the more we saved, the more blessings we received. Wish you the best too.
Interesting watching from Britain. Over here the 20% tax on silver vs 0% on gold really changes the equation. We're also fortunate to have easy access to sovereigns which are affordable and desirable all over the world. The last coins with the Queen on I think will develop a nice premium over time.
Go for second hand silver with no VAT. Bullion by Post have some. There is a premium over new but it's way less than the VAT, and it's good to think the government is not getting it to waste.
Believe you guys are supposed to be able to buy the royal mint coins of .995+ purity without having to pay that tax. That might be something for you to look into further. Can’t say for certain, but have seen many comments about no taxes on royal mint silver coins. So maybe limited to buying silver Britannia coins, but may open up more options without taxes.
@@UserError7861 There’s no capital gains tax on any Royal Mint coin because they’re legal tender but you have to pay VAT at 20% on any new silver coin. If it’s a second hand coin then you pay VAT on the seller’s premium only. Bars are taxed like any other asset so lower premium but much less desirable tax treatment.
I doubt the queen will develop collectors status any time soon. She is currently the monarch on more money then ANYONE else in the world. She is, after all, the longest living monarch in modern history.
Depends on your age, assets and goals in life. Personally at 60 I hold silver to gold 800oz to ever 1oz at present but will sell down once the gold to silver ratio drops. With no debt, debt free secure property with a RV, truck and some fiat in my hand. God Bless thank you brother 🙏👍
When I got married in 82 one of the best things, we learned to do was keep our pantry and freezer full. Countless times we didn't have enough money to handle an emergency and buy food. Just keep the stock rotated out so it's always good. Buying in bulk does pay off in the long run. We had a Sam's club card and we put it to good use.
Hey George - I absolutely agree. When Russia invaded Ukraine I immediately stocked up on flour and am happy that I did. Speaking about marriage though - it's always a tradition of mine to give a silver coin on top of a cash gift. All the best!
About 30% of my wealth is in physical silver 45% is in real-estate 15% is in cash (US currency) and 10% is in dividend paying stock I also have no debt since 2009
Wise and prudent advise.....I've been purchasing gold since it's price was $280 per ounce.....I knew this was coming....the only surprise is how long it has taken.
The most balanced video as regards to accumulating precious metals. I am accumulating it as insurance rather than a vehicle for financial windfall. I agree with your estimates, they are spot on.
I agree with your minimum and split. Liquidity is crucial, but not at the expense of bloated premiums. I used to stack SAE's but I switched to Britannias and Krugerands. For Gold - Sovereigns and 1/4th ounce coins are still of good value/low premium and tend to be very liquid. 10 ozt. RCM bars are excellent quality. I wait for a sale and a dip and buy 5 to save on tax.
Fantastic video, accurate and rational. Thank you. I have reached my goal in 4 years of stacking, 10 Oz of gold, 160 Oz of silver. As a double citizen (European Union and British) living in the UK, I store my precious metals across two different countries, in different locations, giving me edge against political instability. Although the goal has been achieved, I will never really stop adding metal. Trying to add at least a quarter ounce gold coin every one or two months.
So nerdy, analytical and I LOVED IT! LOL! I appreciate the thoughtfulness...I like this as a base amount, the world would be better if we could follow this.
It is always interesting to hear people discuss what the minimum amount of precious metal a person should hold. Regardless of what path they take to get there, most folks offering an opinion end up in the same ball park. About the premium: While there is no point in paying more than you have to, I wouldn't get hung up on it. Remember that the 'real' price of silver is spot + premium, and if the spot price is being manipulated downward, it would be natural to expect the premium to increase to fill the gap to the real price. Lynette Zang was discussing the role of gold and silver in a currency collapse, and she mentioned that during a currency collapse in Latin America you could have bought a city block of real estate -- and everything in it - in the capital city for 25 ounces of gold. I forgot which country she was talking about, but you might consider that a bench mark for worst case scenarios.
Right. Agreed. And if you live in a rural small community factor in that prices are not like in the metro areas. So maybe you don't even need that much. But if you can accumulate good for you all;)
@@rsknickelbein8012 I've heard it suggested that a middle class household ought to have 5 ounces of physical gold, so that during the recovery after a dollar collapse, they will have the resources to still be middle class. This isn't money to spend during the collapse, but what to have when you come out the other side.I have also heard that if the gold/silver ration returns to historical averages, that 75 ounces of silver is the equivalent. My thinking is that it would be good to have both. Silver for during the collapse and gold for afterwards.
Thank you! More content coming on different wealth building topics. The more educated we are - and the more we support each other - the better chances we have of succeeding.
History shows you are your best asset, especially when everything in the market is manipulated. Not saying don’t invest and diversify but your knowledge skills and abilities determine your success in life not necessarily manipulated assets.
I shared this vid with 10 precious metal fb groups. I like that it’s YOUR option but it’s good to hear from people like you that could be a simple framework of stacking. Thanks.
Thank you so much for sharing! I am aware that many people are gold & silver maximalists - they may not fully agree with what I am saying, and that's ok. I invite discussion and dialogue. Cheers and thanks again!
Im a contrarian, I think gold is the most undervalued asset, As much silver as you can carry on your back, the rest gold. I am convinced that central banks are so far behind the curve with block chain currency technology, governments have little room to choose an alternative asset other than gold to regain the confidence of their populations As most economies are run on the debt based keynsian system, most people have debt, NOT GOLD. The price of gold? It doesn't matter, if few people have any.
@@jdb2722its great if you already own. Trying to acquire right now is insane with +$12 premiums. You’re looking at $40/ozt right now. Great if you already have, not so great if you are trying to acquire. Same can be said for bitcoin, and so many other assets. It’s all pointing to the same thing: the weakening (US) dollar
For me, your recommendation of 5 oz of gold and 200 oz of silver, would be able to cover my expenses for close to 9 months. I feel fortunate to live somewhere cheap enough to not worry too much about outrageous costs
As a hedge against currency collapse, one has to have enough gold/silver in hand to be able to start over without living under a tarp on the sidewalk. My standards for that are high... but for the average person 500 ounces of silver and 10 ounces of gold have to be the bare minimum. If one considers the amount of crap they purchased over the last 10 years, you will quickly see how this could have been achieved even by a regular working stiff. Did you buy a new TV screen or phone with your tax refund? Should have bought an ounce of gold and some silver to boot. Have you been making payments on a nice car, rather than drive a paid-for older vehicle? That $600 a month would have purchased 4 or 5 ounces of gold in a single year back then. To make this happen, one has to prioritize it.... or else you are sitting on a small handful of junk silver and somehow satisfied you at least did something. Not nearly enough.
Iv been down many paths in my stacking journey. The answer is quite simple, as much silver as you can carry on your back, and as much gold as you can carry in your pockets. You need your hands free to carry and operate the tools to stop them being being taken off you. So that's about 20kg silver and 2 to 4kg of gold, Curiously the 10 - 1 ratio.
The quanty amount purchased is IMPORTANT. Currently the US government requires a mandatory reporting by the seller on any amount purchased that is near to the proximity of $10,000. and that is for the total purchase within a month or two. Buy your bullion on a non-structured basis and BELOW $10k lot quantities to avoid disclosing exactly how much you HOLD (outside of the bankiong system, etc.). This way there will be a minimum knowledge of how much government will be able confiscate from you. Also change your bullion dealers on a semi-regular basis - for the same reasons above.
Hi Rich - thanks for your take. Please remember that the reporting of transactions above $10 000 was a counterterrorism measure taken after the 9/11 attack (tragedy) to look into people funneling money to terrorists, or using it for other nefarious reasons. I am not saying the US government doesn't misuse this information - but what I will say is that trading Gold & Silver is such an entrenched part of the financial system these days that I am pessimistic they will confiscate gold/silver as the government acts in the interest of banks and Wall Street (sadly). That narrative has existed since 1933 as the US Government foolishly did that once - but history doesn't always repeat (it just tends to rhyme a bit). There is more likelihood from my point of view that the could come after certain types of crypto - but I am pessimistic about outright confiscation. Thank you though for your point of view - different points of view are welcome here - and I think we agree on more things than disagree. Cheers!
Absolutely. That's why I think securing a 40:1 ratio is better than a 71:1 ratio. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Wishing you all the best.
Alternate answer: If you have a Federal Reserve Note, and you don't want it to lose its purchasing power over a long period of time, buy PMs with it. You can apply this to any FRN you don't need sitting in your bank account to pay bills.
You do a good job of expressing your opinion concerning precious metals. Thanx for that. For the novice stacker I think your initial goals of 5 oz of gold and 200 oz of silver is reasonable. Above that, I think it is a good idea to look into private vaulting. If a person can learn to live within his means and stay out of debt, precious metals is not a bad way to save. You still have to save cash and if you want you might want to buy stocks as well. There is no right way to save. There are many ways.
Thank you for that great comment! Many precious metals stackers / investors sometimes underestimate the importance of having a certain level of cash liquidity (which I personally think is important). Having that liquidity allows you to take advantage when there are crashes or corrections. I am personally keeping a large cash position right now in anticipation of a correction in the housing market. A large portion of my net worth was built in the last crash and I was able to convert some of that investment into income generating real estate. Have a great day and thanks for watching.
My split is very much the same. The majority of my silver is in 90% US circulated coins, but mostly in uncirculated condition: dimes, halves, quarters. The rest are mostly Libertads/Onzas. For gold it's largely the same: formerly circulated 90% coins, both US and Mexican, or their equivalent modern commemoratives.
I was just doing a stack check / spot price at todays price and found two liberty peace dollars mixed in with generic silver rounds....sloppy stacking on my end.🙄
The best time to buy gold is today. The price will only go up, generally. So if you're wanting to buy gold at all, start now. You don't need to buy 1 ounce gold coins or bars. You can buy fractions like 1/4 ounce, 1/10 ounce, etc. But do it if you're gonna do it.
I think it’s truly fascinating to think about the hands that denarius went through and what it might have been used for. Imagine someone back then working their rear off to put food on the table, or someone that used it to pay off a debt. Need to get me one. Great video.
@@baldguymoney5568 Yes that would be interesting to hear your thoughts (at least it would be for me). I’ve made some rough calculations on wheat and work wages but I had trouble with comparing it to goods/services today.
Great video, your numbers are about right,I measured what I got and how long it took, and your chart was near enough spot on, but I'm speeding up now, I'm silver stacking more than gold.🙏🏼❤🏴
Thank you for your feedback. I take my work and image very seriously. Guessing numbers (like many RU-vidrs do) is not good enough for Bald Guy :) Wishing you success and financial freedom!
As an older member of your audience, I try to keep 10% of our net worth, excluding real estate, in precious metals. Currently 9% in gold to 1% in silver for the 10%. My concern is hyper inflation due to our skyrocketing US debt. Great video!
I would also say make sure to have some fractional gold coins as they are more liquid in my experience. I personally like full and half sovereigns as they are readily available where I am.
Thanks for watching. I personally think there is such thing as too much. I know of people who have most of their savings in Gold & Silver and as a result are not able to properly build their wealth in other areas (or enjoy their money) as they're waiting for a collapse of the system. Some of those people have been waiting 20+ years... how long do you want to wait before you realize you also have to live in the here and now? You only get one shot at this life.
@@baldguymoney5568 Great advice. Some people died after decades of collecting. You have to find a balance for investing like metals, stocks, crypto en hold some cash to buy the dips. Also learning to take profit and just enjoy what you do is way more satisfying than look at some "paper profit" With a total collapse even gold, silver will be useless. Ground, food a crossbow etc will be much more worth. Greetings from holland
As people have learned through this pandemic, three months of emergency funding doesn’t cut it. I would much rather see people build a twelve month emergency fund. I have a two year emergency fund that I have built up over the past ten years. Please think people! This is only the first pandemic of many more to come over the next couple decades. Be safe!
@Kids For Drugs most who carry gold and silver also carry many guns be careful you could die trying to get their silver much easier than successfully getting their silver/gold. And if you are buying your 1st gun with silver after a collapse you probably shouldn't try armed robbery it would not be a good move. I must say very disappointed in your comment.
@@josealejandro6602 and that is why you want to be one of the 10% who are not in that position. Saving and investing for the long term takes commitment and sacrifice, just like anything else of value worth having. I started years ago and encourage others to do the same. You will sleep better at night knowing you have prepared for your and your Family’s well being. Good luck to you Ricky.👍
I was thinking about something the other day. Will gold be something to consider buying in the years to come? Think about it... If Bitcoin is going to be the new medium for currency and will replace the dollar, then why would gold hold any value? There would be no reason for it to back the dollar up. Compared to Silver, gold is not used in as many things as silver is. So this to me means silver would be the better overall investment. Can you please give your opinion if you see this as a logical assumption?
Great great question! I often think about this myself and as a solution I simply own both. One is a hedge to the other. I made a video about the inverse correlation between the two - you should check it out. Here is the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-87UZJ7Zz3TI.html
Very interesting. I was pleasantly surprised to see your 8% mark as that is what I do in my own stack, although my parameters are a bit different. I like the "buy the seller" point. That's very good advice!
Thank you very much for watching and commenting. Buying the seller is more important now than ever. There are so many scams these days it's impossible to keep up with them all.
Good video thanks. I disagree with you regarding property being a better investment. In South Africa, the government is trying to confiscate private citizens property. They call it expropriation without compensation. They are also looking at state custodianship of all property. We are not sure if this includes all of our assets. Very stressful times that we are going through
Thank you for watching, and very sorry for your experience. I have many friends from South Africa and Zimbabwe and I am very familiar with the practice. Many of my South African neighbors either have another passport or are in the process of getting another passport. Sadly for people with corrupt governments, getting another passport seems to be a must these days. Wishing you a bright future! Cheers.
Sad to hear mate. I worry about my small troubles and you just gave me a reality check. You know there was a story of a family that left SA, (the son is now a prof at MIT) they were in dentistry. They moved to the US and exported their wealth via diamonds. They shipped the x-ray photographs for processing in the United States and put the diamonds in with those. Then, they had a family member receive them at the other end. Also a dentist. Apparently the density similarity between x-rays and diamonds the machines can’t see them. Best of luck my friend. I hope things settle down for you.
That is a different approach, very interesting. I started in 2017 and I buy 200/oz of silver every year. I buy and sell gold as needed keeping 10oz as an emergency fund.
I had 3 ounces of gold, but the recent gold silver ratio being so ridiculous being over 90, I decided to trade in 2 ounces of gold for silver.I think silver is massively undervalued, and I believe, as do many You Tubers, that silver will rise more than gold. It's a gamble, but I know that silver is manipulated more than gold, so it should go up more than gold.Good luck to all, I think we are all going to need it in the very near future.I also took into consideration the U.S. Debt Clock's value of both gold and silver, and silver blows gold away in this category, with $12,000 gold, and $900 silver, which is a 13.3 gold silver ratio.Thirteen ounces of silver, will cost, maybe $300, one ounce of gold is $1,750, which makes it very obvious, if the Debt Clock is correct, which metal is the best value right now.
Have you seen the debt clock lately? The values on AG and AU are gone…. I think above 1/40 on gold silver ratio always stack silver since that ratio has to decline in the future..
@@YBehri My gut feeling sais that Silver may very well outperform the MSCI world at some point. Silver is just so undervalued right now. Gold is "just" a safehaven, but I view Silver as a decent safehaven and great chance in the same investment.
@@YBehri I am aware that this is speculation. But the chances with silver are objectively higher to have heavy gains. Current market cap is tiny. Also paper-silver ratio is extreme. Also silver is generally more volatile than gold, which means more risk but also more chances.
I understand and respect that. My guide is more of a minimum I think people should strive to get. I also think keeping a rolling 8% of your net worth in precious metals is a good practice (more if you are more risk averse). Thank you so much for watching!
Wow... I find that a very interesting ratio Monkey... I have 350 silver and 12 gold... very different from yours. I like the fact that the gold is easy to transport in case of an emergency... I have only been stacking for a very short time on a very limited income... I wish I had understood about PM's early in my life instead of as a Senior.
I found your video very interesting as: I had a small collection of silver coins; Kennedy 50 cents, 50 quarters and dimes, 3 silver eagles 5 Morgans, and 4 odd ball coin and 1 10 dollar 1909 gold coin. But I never considered myself to be a "stacker" two years Christmas my wife gave me 10 1 oz silver bars and I decided to become a stacker (inflation and all) and I now have "541" oz of NEW silver and another oz of gold. So I was truly surprised that this put me in the top 1% of stackers in the world!!!!!!!! I personally would not consider anyone to be a "STACKER" If they didn't have moor than 20 oz. and looking to have a lot moor like over a 100 oz. ..... some what like calling yourself a car collector with only one car.
Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching. I understand your point of view when it comes to collecting - what I should have been clearer about is ownership vs. stacking. I will be more diligent in the future.
Listen to what this guy has to say, he knows what he is talking about! This is a great target. Don’t let it stress you out though. Regardless of what you can afford, a little is better than none and having a small seat at the table is better than having no seat at all!
IMHO silver is the single best bargain asset on the planet now considering it has 0 third-party risk. with gold being a close 2nd place. If you have the capacity to store the silver I think you will make more, in the long run, considering Silvers dual-use case(Monetary & Industrial). That being said I also believe that the power brokers have a much greater incentive to suppress the prices of silver precisely because of its dual-use case.
I would personally disagree and put Bitcoin in 1st because of how divisible it is, how easy it is to store, and the algorithm that determines the price based on supply on demand which is impossible to tamper. That said Silver is certainly in 2nd place if you ask me and I personally don't think the history of price tampering is sustainable. Thanks for watching and thanks for sharing your point of view.
@@dark_winter8238 it's also far to easy for governments to turn off access to crypto in general for it to be number 1. I'm in the middle on crypto. I think its just as dumb to place it first as it is to not invest anything in crypto.
Only time will tell. In the meantime there are people making life changing wealth from crypto - and that's a fact I cannot and will not ignore. I agree there is a chance that Bitcoin could go to zero - but I assess that risk to be literally less than 1% (no joke). If you'd like me to make a video explaining why, please let me know. Cheers! Thanks for getting involved in the comments section, and I hope you check out my latest video on Bitcoin.
Been stacking since 2008, fortunate to have added RCM 100 oz bars Flat ,easy to store and conceal. Some Maples too but also "junk silver" , mostly pre 1967 🇨🇦 1/2 dollars. Not only beautiful historical coins but also recognizable currency containing 0.3 oz silver. If it hits the fan and the price of silver skyrockets, I'll go for food with 1 or 2 dollars face value
Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting. I think the poop hitting the fan will be high levels of inflation brought on by massive government spending of easily inflatable National Digital Currencies (also known as CBDCs) comes about in the not so distant future. It means FIAT currencies will remain - but holding that silver will be very important if you decide to trade it for something like real estate in the future. Cheers.
I'm so close to that goal. I'm at just over 200oz silver and 3.5oz gold. I keep most of my gold in different size fractional pieces nothing over 1/4. It give me a little more Premium and a larger amount of buyers versus 1oz pieces
The gouging from the major bullion dealers has made me switch exclusively to gold. Dealers pay $2.35 premium for one silver eagle then sell them for $10 premium each. With 30 million plus sold last year I don't think it was a supply issue at all. Demand surge equates to greed. They did the same thing during the great recession.
Thanks for your comment. You may have a point there. Back during the Great Recession though the spot price jumped up to $50 per ounce. Truly wild times - but it will retrace to that level in my opinion. It's only a matter of time. Have a really great day!
@@baldguymoney5568 it took multiple years to achieve that price. It only lasted weeks. I have enough for the speculation run but I'm not into making dealers richer. I touched on this myself in my own way 👍🏼
I have over 2,300 ounces of silver. I will probably never need to sell it but my kids will really appreciate it. My issue with gold is how would you use it for smaller purchases. I have junk, rounds and bars. I also buy nickels and collect copper penneys, why not, they are worth more than their face value. I'm not a paranoid prepper but it never hurts to have it. Three months of savings is nothing if a big crash hits. Gold has a lower premium but silver is really worth more than spot. Spot refers to the silver paper market which is just paper and a game played by JP Morgan and others. My feeling silver is the most undervalued commodity there is. I realize I can be wrong so feel free to pile on.
I think a good point would be that you would need a lot less of pm's to equal the value of all the fiat money you think you are worth. Maybe 8% of what your net worth is in gold and silver, would be enough to cover perhaps a total loss of wealth in fiat when runaway inflation takes hold.
Can you elaborate on that? Doesn't make sense to me. This might have worked at lower prices but with the current ones? Lets's assume someone has 10.000 $ and buys gold for 1.000$, so like half an ounce or whatever. How would that be enough to give back the equivalent of 10.000 $ after a currency collapse or a new currency?
@@exiledmonastic4650 The definition of inflation is the over printing of fiat currency. The more inflation takes hold, the less the dollar is worth. This makes the value of gold, a stable store of wealth, look like it has gone up in value nominally, especially at a point of runaway inflation, when everyone actually stops having faith in the dollar as a store of value, and turns to gold and silver, and other commodities. Gold has intrinsic value; dollars are IOU nothings, backed by nothing because every time they print more of it, the debt increases. This is why they cannot indefinitely do this, although they want you to believe they can, this is to discourage you from purchasing gold as insurance against the dollar losing value. Hope that helps
@@commodityjane hi, thanks for taking the time! all of this makes sense to me, but how does it explain that you only need 8% of your net worth in gold to 'restore' your full net worth at a later time? sure, when hyper inflation happens, you can restore the same numbers relatively quickly, depending on how quickly the currency loses its value, but then you only restored the number, and not what it was originally worth, since everything around you loses value too, right?
@@exiledmonastic4650 In a hyperinflationary scenario, which is hard to imagine as we've never actually been in one, while currency loses its value, gold holds on to value. It would probably be good as an item of trade, but in very small amounts. This is why silver becomes a more practical mode of every day transaction. The nominal value of metal, or any commodity, would be hard to pin down due to money losing value every hour of every day. It's conceivable that you could buy a house with a few coins, for example, but maybe fewer coins the next day. Percentages are hard to pin down in a case like that. The point being, gold and silver are real money, always have been, and back the currency. Or it should. When they can't spoof the prices anymore, gold and other metals should increase in price very quickly. It won't make you rich, but it is a kind of insurance for your wealth.
Going to post a video about this soon. I have done some analysis of price charts showing manipulation and think I have a time frame of when we can expect a breakout (most likely to the upside). Look out for it soon.
I think your information makes good sense. It allows for people who have little income to achieve something worthwhile. I am not into the wealthy bragging there excessive amounts in these comments because their selfishness sux. Power to all people.😎😎😎
Thanks for watching and thanks for your comment. I simply wish everyone the best. That said, it's not in great taste to boast about wealth. We're all trying to get there, and we may not all take the same path. Just remember, it's within our reach!
I am on disability and lucky to be living in geared to income housing. I have saved 33 oz of silver and about an ounce of gold in the last 15 months. Most of my gold is in jewelery as to avoid confiscation.
Hi Terryann - that's nice that you have built up some savings - congrats. I am not a huge fan of gold jewelry as an investment due to the high premium and fact it is not pure gold. Congrats all the same. Thank you for watching.
Liked and subscribed.... I like your non biased analysis... I also see you are not a dooms day prepper and are simply out to share what you have learned. Thumbs up.
Thanks D - I am an optimist who believes that we as people are able to adapt. I am also a realist, and when I see how many people have expired waiting for the end of times I just have to ask myself "ok, how bad can this really get" - the answer has never been "end of the world".
It seems with the higher price of #silver . It has made silver mines kick in. The silver mines are getting way more output in the last 5 months. Miners are still selling silver easy at $25 ounces.
New subscriber ✊ I love your point of view and enjoy your videos.. After 2mo stacking I’m at 9.1/292 gold to sliver, I would like to get to 10/500 sometime soon.
Silver is the poor man’s gold. I’d rather hold gold than silver but being a poor man I’ve only been able to accumulate 55 oz. My safe is spilling over with silver because as a poor man, it is attainable and affordable
This is my first time here. I have been stacking intermittently since 2011. I am currently sitting at 4/1285 (actual G/S weight ratio). I really need to concentrate on acquiring more gold (especially since gold premiums are much more attractive). I like what you have presented, and I just subscribed. What do you see as the role of constitutional silver in a stack?
Hi there. Thanks for watching and thanks for the sub. Although I have constitutional silver and believe in its value, I see it more as sprinkles on top of my stack if I am in a position to get it. I don’t personally go out of my way to collect it as I see more value in sovereign coins and bars from reputable dealers as they are in demand and easy to liquidate (should I need to or want to one day). All the best!
I think it depends where you're located. I am not based in the USA, and I have witnessed issues with people liquidating constitutional silver. In the 21st century, people move around a lot, so it's something you have to consider if you're located, or may be located outside of the USA. And again, I am not saying it's impossible, just more difficult. I hope you see my point of view.
@@baldguymoney5568 That makes sense. I have lived in various areas within the USA and can say it is very liquid here in different states. Completely understand your situation though and how that may not be the case at all in many other countries
Currently I live in Dubai - the only way to liquidate it would be peer to peer sales platforms, and dealing with the people on there can be frustrating at times :)
That's fantastic! I wish you many more successes to come. As you are a seasoned investor, I am curious what you thought about my Guide to Minimum Ownership of Gold & Silver.
@El Parca - I agree with you. It is risky to hold major real estate positions on borrowed money. It's just as risk as opening large stock or crypto trades on huge amounts of leverage. My motto is: Don't bite off more than you can chew.
Hi - thank you for watching and thanks for the question. I did another video where I go over what I think the price of silver will be in 5 years - please check it out. In it I very briefly touch on the topic. With respect to ownership, I think it's important to own physical gold and silver (whether you store it yourself or in a vault). My opinion of paper silver is that it is not going to be as prevalent moving forward due to some high profile court cases, and the concept of Basel III. That said, we should achieve some level of normalcy (not total) over the next 5 years as demand for physical silver in industry is set to surpass annual physical supply / production.
I don't put a limit on it. It's a tale about good money vs fiat. Other assets are good too but you have to be careful that those don't turn into a liability.
In the 70s if you had $2500 or 2500 silver coins you could buy a brand new car, today $2500 will not buy you a brand new car, but the silver coins would 😉
I was listening to the Rich Dad podcast recently and he had a guy on talking about an index he created to peg commodities to other products. I recommend checking it out, you may find it interesting.
Subscribed. Nice video. My goals monthly is 5grams of gold and 10oz of silver. Im 30 so plan on doing this till 60 so fingers crossed I'll have some extra funds available for retirement
A governmental forensic accountant will want to know the GPS location of your sinking, will want to see the official USCG report of that sinking, can easily demand the transfer records for your silver/gold broker, etc. etc. ... and will during periods of confiscation have the legal power to legally extract your other forms of wealth as a substitute payment for the lost precions metals to make up the difference expected.
How do you know that silver won't end up more in value than gold in the future? Right now silver is a better buy for someone that can't afford gold. Buy it while it is low.
Thank you for watching and commenting. With respect to the price of silver vs. gold, I just look at history. Gold has been more valuable than silver throughout history and my position is that it will continue to be that way. I know there is a narrative in the Silver stacker community that Silver will flip gold, and that silver is rarer than gold, but history doesn't support this narrative. I am just looking at the facts. I do hope you'll sub and stick with the channel. Wishing you successes ahead.
Sure thing - it may take a couple weeks, but I can put one together. Would you like to know how I select Real Estate for investment and what kind of returns I look for? That's what I was thinking about.
@@ThatOneGuy-gb2tv I don't trade, I invest with a professional assigned by a crypto company that trades for us and returns profits weekly for me and you can invest your capital and get weekly Returns of investment (ROI) without any extra fees attached The professional is Mrs. TINA TURNER
Intelligent and well explained. Some may find the vid a pretty bold and generalized statement ,but i get it.silver is barter gold is a physical hedge fund.
If there ever occurred a situation, when fiat money became completely worthless, in that situation the amount of gold and silver specified by the content creator will last much more than three years..........not just 3 months. However, it is also extremely unlikely that such a scenario would play out during the course of our lives.
good video. one thing no one covers ... you should also be storing food and water. every paycheck buy enough canned goods to last you a week or two, and put it in storage. then rotate your stock. with 6 months supply of food and water ... it removes tons of stress about the future. remember ... you cannot eat gold, silver, crypto, stocks and bonds, or real estate. storing food and water is as basic as you can get. and it is the basics that will save you.
At first I read your comment and thought it sounded a bit whacky - then I gave it some though, and it's not actually an awful idea. I'm not a prepper, and I don't believe the end of the world is coming but having a supply of food in case of emergency makes total sense. Thanks for contributing!
@@baldguymoney5568 i mean it makes as much sense as a supply of money for emergency ... right ? i work in a store that sells silver and gold. every paycheck i buy a little silver ... every once in a while a little gold ... and at least enough canned goods to last a week or two. think about it ... one years supply of food and water would go a long way towards making your life more comfortable ... and then the precious metal could be used on more important items. and 1 year of canned goods could fit in a closet.
The silver value is too great to ignore. 1 kilo Ag bar, 7-10 oz bars, 150-1 oz mixed sov coins, $40 face half dollars (90%), $80 face quarters, and $160 face in dimes. And 1 gold maple. Ready for valuation fluctuations and shtf. :)
