g'day all, being a conservative person, I have brushed off any chance of investment all this while including silver when I came across this topic a year ago. After recent saga at work and a poker night with mates, I've decided that I need to get out of the 9-5 cycle slowly and steadily. On top of that, 6.5% of savings interest is never enough and the future of fiat money doesn't look good. I'm a convert now and definitely looking at buying silver ASIP. I've just ordered the book by Mike Maloney but it will take a month to arrive, so I'm also looking for a "quick fix" from alternate sources to start reading the content ASIP hope to learn and share more with y'all btw, a quick question. I've done some research (may not be reliable as I'm very new) and really keen to start stacking before the speculated significant rise in May; I'm supposed to meet up with a mate who's going to explain it inside out but the earliest I can meet him up is next Tuesday. Is it a good idea to buy some (1kg - 100oz?) within this week before I do a crash course in silver stacking? I strongly believe that investing without proper knowledge is gambling but I can't go to sleep in peace with this dilemma in my head cheers all!
Welcome. i am not sure anymore wether its a good idea to buy 1kg-100oz currently if that is your first purchase. what you could do however is buy 20 oz of silver and spend the rest on gold coins ( sovs and the like ) and see what happens.
Welcome! A good place to start reading would be GP's thread here: http://forums.silverstackers.com/topic-880-buying-silver-in-australia.html It tells you the different types of silver and what to aim for as well as what to expect. http://forums.silverstackers.com/topic-963-online-links-resources-for-precious-metals.html Has more online stuff for you. Some other stuff I read but may be biased (but funny): http://dont-tread-on.me http://www.sovereignman.com Check out the site sponsors and trade sub forums for some really good deals as well.
Welcome aboard the silver express. Everyone here is too clever by half. What do me make here? Don't make me laugh, We make money moving silver around. Regards Errol
