I am buying silver. Also looking to see what I can sell that I no longer value in order to buy more silver. Should it drop further, then I can buy even more silver. As I'm over 60, now might be a good time to cash in some super and buy silver. Expecting a windfall from overseas in the next few weeks, I'll use it to buy silver.
I believe silver is the most undervalued PM at the moment. My worst case scenario is that gold drops to $720 and silver drops to $18. I would then swap my silver for gold at a GSR of 40. Totally hypothetical of course but at a current GSR of about 64 silver could not drop at a larger rate than gold at these current levels.
Adding to the wisdom of not putting all your eggs in one basket, if gold drops to $720, silver will easily be below $9, not at $18. If you want proof, look at 2008 charts. Someone who is 60 should not be gambling by putting a significant portion of their wealth in silver. I myself have too much in silver, but it is now hedged. And due to selective buying of mostly semi numismatic coins, I should be able to average a nice profit on the sales.
The GSR is probably going to go to around 80 or 100 to 1. And silver will and always has gone up or down more than gold. If you really believe the things you wrote in that last paragraph, you do not understand silver. And what you don't understand, you shouldn't own.
