I would buy a property, and rent it out. That's what I am looking in at the moment. It will give you a steady revenue, which silver won't give you. So even if the price of the property drops, you can still pay off the mortgage with the rent. Once the mortgage is repaid, you have that steady income for life. I think historically, properties have performed better than pm, though of course there are high and low periods, when one is much much better than the other. Nevertheless, over the long term, properties are better (unless the shtf of course).
