It's this fear of losing ounces that could result in holding too long and getting caught out. At the end of this bull market the winners will be the people with the most fiat profit, not the ones
left holding the most ounces because eventually silver will crash bigtime.
I agree that there will come a point in time where PMs will become overvalued, but we're pretty dam far from that point right now.
Your next point is contentious at best and downright wrong at worst. Under the current fiat system which is on a destiny with collapse i seriously doubt that holding fiat will ever be a good idea in the years ahead. if you dont hold something tangible - you aint got shit!
Also, people holding real money - gold and silver - will never LOSE ... simply because it will hold its average value throughout time. it always has and it always will.

I've just been through the same process with property. I loved to be able to drive around and look at my "portfolio". Not that is was huge but I worked hard to build up a few properties and was reluctant to part with any of it. Eventually I convinced myself that if I was going to stick to my strategy then they had to go.
The situation with property is wildly different! Those who followed Steve Keen's advice in 2009 will be seen in years to come as geniuses.
Those still stuck with property a this point - myself included are bluddy fools

At this point in time I'm much better off holding the profit instead of the houses. Sometimes the same will be true of silver.
Profit is first and foremost in my opinion. Silver, like houses, is just another vehicle that you can use to turn a profit.
Again - it's what you do with that profit which is important. Neglect to protect that profit (by leaving it in fiat form) and pretty soon you'll end up being a loser to the thieving bankers and government who thieve from people through their engineered inflation.
