for those who are doing this, are you buying into a company through stocks or are you purchasing physical gold/silver?
i thought about getting into silver since its cheaper and im on a tighter budget.

I have always bought individual gold and silver coins and bars.

But do you know what metal would have been the absolute best investment of all the last few years?

Lead.

It went up 14X

Yeah silver has been going through the roof!!!

To give you an idea were it could go..the classic ration between gold and silver is 1/16th..meaning silver is 1/16th the price of gold. Obviously....ITS NOW WHERE NEAR THAT NOW! Gold is currently around $1390.00 an once. That would put Silver around $90 an once.

yep buying silver now you could possibly double to triple your investment acording to what you said about $90 but the market has been up and down the whole year so who knows what it will do.
