|
Silver seems to be performing fairly well. Would a few extra dollars per month made in bullion investment be wise?

1. Not long ago silver rounds were $7.50 each |
|
They are now around $13 each. A person working a crappy job could theoretically have picked up a couple rounds a paycheck and have eleven of them by now.
If you expect the dollar to keep going down and--especially--if you expect oil to continue to get scarcer, buying some bullion whenever you get a chance could be a good thing.

2. Warren Buffet seems to think so |
|
If I recall correctly, Berkshire-Hathaway acquired a major position in silver last year.

3. Silver has been known as the "poor man's gold" for centuries |
|
So it can't hurt to spend a "few extra dollars per month".
I say just keep it in your head that this is a "survival" investment and is not for speculation. Look at it as insurance and yourself as your own country having a gold-silver standard.
