    Well originally started looking into it because of the Alex Jones show. Even if it is paid advertising, it is great how much he emphasises getting real money.

    Alex made me aware of silver too. I made a start not long after I started listening to his show

    I had a dream I killed a horde of zombies by throwing silver bars at them.

    Since I am preparing for the Zombie apocalypse, I bought silver bars.

    Because some guy on YouTube told me to

    Because long term, seems like a smart idea (PMs in general) as a hedge to inflation and if SHTF.

    And because the Silver/Gold ratio makes it seem as if silver is underpriced, but I could be a complete victim of hype. Even if that's the case, they ARE nice and shiny ... (I do have gold too ... well I DID until I took it on the boat)

    Because although i'm in front on the shares i still consider that gambling. At least this way i have something tangible to sell that is based on a international spot price.

    So if I put my silver in the fridge for 10 minutes, it'll be useful for summer?
