    Should be good buying when the low comes. There’s the main reason right there - a return on investment

    There is no other reason other than you like the look of something or you collect things as a hobby

    It has now become painfully obvious to me that most folks here are not serious. They apparently have no reading comprehension. They can't even articulate WHY they buy silver. It isn't a thread about the stock market or if this is a good time to buy silver. That is my cue to leave this thread, this forum, and Silver Stackers altogether.

    Lol. You are the one who is not serious in that case. Take some advice champ from someone who has a stack piled over a decade - the reasons for stacking fundamentally come down to what I just said

    1, ROI
    2, Shiny thing

    If that is too tough and you feel like running off then that’s too bad!

    And if you think a major market crash is not relevant, maybe you are a few crayons short of a pencilcase

    Which looking at your other posts I doubt

    It isn’t that hard to understand why people buy silver - same as RE, DELL in the end.

    Most people here only put a fraction of their net worth into physical silver.

    All of mine is in metals right now. It's my safe space!
    I dont even care about these little price dips when the economy is cratering before our eyes. It's easy to see where it will go.
    I'm too busy laughing at Trump right now. Hes like a kid lost on the playground.

    I don’t think it was about that

    Looking at the poster’s other entries it was more about money to the exclusion of much else, with a flicker of intellectual interest, but an expectation that we would lay it out like a fancy dinner, gratis.

    Look at “Tennessee”’s other posts

    Doesn’t sound like a warm welcoming “Southron”. More a money grubbing perspective looking for a freebie. All the weirder for coming here. Then even more weird for running away.

    To be fair we should take it more serious, personally I buy silver to kill werewolves when they attack at a moment there is weakness in humankind..eg a pandemic type event that keeps us isolated in our own homes and not allowed to congregate in large groups to protect ourselves......hey, what do you know...

    Because the spin doctors tell me to, and I haven't realised how shyte it is in comparison to gold.

    Truth there, gold has been nice.

    Nobody here should falsely influence in terms of silver as an investment.

    It has done well when fiat was injected into the USD, being the surrogate for a metal at various stages in the 20th century.

    I bought some in 2011. I don't regret it even though on paper I've made losses. My philosophy is to never let the banks use my deposited funds for their countless crimes. I still maintain an unbelievably low bank balance daily.
