I had the exact same strategy when I first started stacking. I was so motivated to start stacking, but had very little money. I was awakened to precious metals, which led to an awakening to personal finance in general. To date my stack has grown tremendously, as has my financial life in general.

New to stacking myself. Started when I turned 55 back in October of this year. Currently at 34oz and counting.

To the newbies, keep in mind S&H costs if ordering online. SD Bullion is free for orders over $200 so it's best to buy at least 10 rounds. Also, watch out for high premiums. When I started in 2015, premiums were pennies over spot. Now you're looking at $4+ which is crazy high. Buy the best deal for the buck and just keep stackin.

It’s a bit daunting to dip your toes into a whole new market. 😳 Decades ago, the “financial advice” was to hold 10% of your investment portfolio in PM simply as a “hedge”. Well, times have changed!

Btw, I believe our first investments right now should be shelf-stable foods and drinking water, followed by alternate heat & cooking sources in case the lights go out. Looking forward to continued stacking!

Great video. I just started stacking recently and have been going through and watching your videos and they're extremely informative! Thanks

Just bought 48 buffalo today, and 120 last week. Another 144 to go to finish my goal of 500 1oz rounds. Finished my goals of $500 face in dollars, halves, quarters, and dimes (1x .30 cal ammo can each). Next comes barstock of 1K each in 10 and 100 oz bars.

I've advised several friends when starting out to get a roll of pre-65 dimes and a tube of ASEs. I like this solid base to build upon because each is widely recognized and would be the first silver items mainstream America would feel comfortable dealing with. However, with the crazy high premiums of ASEs, I'd change out the buffalo rounds for the ASEs nowadays. Whatever the initial goal is, it is very important to have one! Just make it something able to be achieved with some effort and not overwhelming.

Hopefully they catch the silver stacking bug!

I think 40 oz is a very reasonable target to achieve initially. It doesn’t put too much pressure on someone, and forces you to save up for it (assuming you have a source of income already). I think aiming too high can cause all sorts or problems, especially for the middle and lower income persons, and you don’t want to be cash poor, even if inflation is on the rise. Cash is still relevant and necessary. But having a little bit of precious metal can at least offset some of that weakening dollar in the future. Great video!

Started off with 10 oz in 2019. After listening to hundreds of vids just like this one, my understanding is that you need to be able to cover what you need, if cash simply disappears. Use today's spot prices and equate that to how much you need to cover 1 months expenses. Then try and reach 3 months. Then 6 months. Then 9 months. Ultimately, for someone who wants to 'be their own bank', after it all comes crashing down and we are burning our old fiat currency for warmth *Weimar v2.0* I'd recommend 1000oz silver, per person in your home, for long-term SHTF scenario.

I think a good start is one coin because it puts a real and tangible piece of silver into the hands of the person who's getting started. Perhaps it can be called the trial purchase with a purchase one or four somewhere around $100 worth maybe. But getting that first chunk is what I did and I slowly been building it since.

I don't have a goal but I very much enjoy adding to my stack every couple weeks or so. I like spending money and saving it, when I spend it on silver I get to keep it too. I also am quite fond of 90% but premiums are high.

One. One oz. because that’s your first step. And once you take that first set on the stacking journey, you just keep going.

I would think it depends upon one's expendable income. After setting aside that 3-6 months salary for savings/emergencies, and making sure all normal monthly expenses are covered, whatever is left gets divided up with a certain percentage going into each of my various investment funds. I also split my precious metal purchases up to set aside a bit to pick up the larger amounts of gold each quarter (those premiums are still a pain). As one's income grows, so does one's ability to acquire more.

First of all, I really respect your grind! Collecting cans to get silver is a honorable and honest grind. Exchanging one metal for another just seems right. I salute you. Secondly, I believe in partime goals. 40oz is a great first step. I started with the goal of 100oz/year. In retrospective, I think that was a bit of a stretch when living paycheck to paycheck. Now I go for consistant buying, a little bit every month adds up. Some months more, some months less, as long as you get it you’re good. Thanks Dragon. Keep on keeping on!

Its amazing how many videos you can make about something so extremely simple in concept.

You will save yourself a lot of money and aggravation if you keep a cash emergency fund. I've been in that spot numerous times and it seemed like I always lost money when I sold out of necessity. I keep a cash fund for that now and it's funny how I don't seem to get in those predicaments any more.

Just did a count on my stack, and between junk, rounds, and bars, I'm at over 300 Ozt, excluding numismatics. I'm also fortunate to have my partner in the US (I'm Canadian), so I have a silver stack in both countries.

Love the story of your first collection

Finally picked up my 1000 OZ! $29k Canadian shipped. Picking up 200 rounds next week. Been a long time waiting, leaving equities at the top in 2021 and riding out this long correction.

This is insane! I literally just started stacking silver, started off by ordering eight 5 oz bars of the exact same 10 oz bar you have because the price per ounce above spot price was cheaper when I bought two 5 oz bars as opposed to 110 oz bar, and then yesterday I went out and purchased 20 1 oz 2023 buffalo silver rounds! I literally just got my 8 5 oz silver bars with the American flag stand final today by UPS! Furthermore, I plan on investing in another 40 oz in the next couple of weeks. It's almost like there is something in our DNA that gravitates us towards precious metals when we know our Fiat is in trouble. If you look back throughout all Fiat currencies that have gone dead, precious metals were the only bartering chip afterwards.

I'm 56 and I just started last week. Now gathering up my funds to make my first purchase. I'm planning to purchase some silver eagles. All these are new and exciting stuff to me...

Buffalos are the best if you are going for quantity.Eagles are only good if you are buying collectibles. Silver Dragons just said that. Don't buy the hype on Eagles.Quantity over so called "quality" of Eagles. You can buy 6 Buffalos for every 5 eagles.If silver goes to $100 an ounce, you will be $100 ahead with Buffalos.The extra you'd get back for your Eagles will be the same as you paid for them, if you are lucky.

That's a good goal slow and steady is key!

Started buying silver in 2018 and sitting on around 400oz Lately added Some gold cause diversification is key. All amounts are Good, Never feel "late to the party" . 1oz in 1oz more than 98% of citizen's holdings

Hi dragons, I think that you should have at least 500 ounces of silver to be secure. That's only my opinion. Great video. Stay strong 💪

I got into bullion 6 months before the pandemic 2020 March. I started with 20 oz and spot went up! Sold my stack for $11 more than I paid. I got terminated from my job but was able to pay my rent. I'd say a monthy goal should be 20 oz for investing. I'm now over 600 oz but I buy and sell all the time for trading. Great video

Love the can story, very inspirational.

I have really started stacking this year after I’ve learned how much inflation was going to be a problem my goal is to have at least 100oz of silver and 1 - 2oz of gold I have started a silver Britannia monster box because I love how they look and they have had the lowest premium basically all year and I’m well on track with my goal keep stacking💪💪

I just recently started stacking. My goal is to have 100 oz by the end of this year. I am about a third of the way there now.

Pretty cool to hear you started by collecting cans…..that’s exactly what I’ve been doing!

Good man! Keep it up.

Ive been pushing it pretty good as a newbie i think! :)

From the movie Far and Away. People were paid 4 dollars for a minimum pay job for a month in the late 19th Century. Since the dollar was about .77 oz. of silver back then, that means that they were paid around 3 ounces of silver a month. Now, to be safe, just assume 10 oz. of silver a month as a minimum to be safe. This means that 40 oz. of silver would get you by for 4 months. It is recommended that you have at least one year reserve; thus, it is best to have a minimum of 120 oz. silver to get you, and yours, by for a year. IMHO. :)

That's a very good analysis. I have read stories where in Venezuela, people could buy a month worth of groceries for a month with one ounce of silver. We have got to stop comparing metals to debt based currencies.

I've been watching for while now and came across this older video and had to comment because when I originally saw this video I literally just started stacking and had a couple 1 oz rounds and some random pre 1964 coins and that's it. I then set this exact goal of getting 40 1 oz coins and now, about a 5-6 months later I'm approaching the 50-60 mark and I did it by going to my local coin shop and buying 2-3 rounds a week and also ingot a change jar that when it gets full I take it to my bank to cash it in and then I spend it all on silver rounds... Keep stacking ladies and gents...

Funny you bring up Dave! Injust started the baby steps and asked one of his advisors about having my emergency fund as precious metals, their only concern was the liquidity of it.

I got it in my head that 500 oz of silver was the big goal. I reached 541 and switched to gold. I'm only at 9 oz of gold. 20 oz is my goal on the gold. So 500 oz of silver and 20 oz of gold is my minimum.

I enjoy your show. Just started buying some silver.

Most financial advisors say have 3 to 6 months of routine expenses saved (including mortgage or rent, utilities, car payments, etc.) The more I’m studying, and reading about the horrors of this recession, the more I’m thinking, an additional 2-3 months in sliver & gold is not a bad plan either. That’s 5-9 months of resources. I literally just started stacking, and made a rookie mistake in terms of premiums (silver American eagles) but my goal is 2000 oz. over the next four to five years.

It's good advice. I don't know that I would spend a lot of time referencing Dave Ramsey, since he's 100% against purchasing any Gold or Silver, but I get the point you were making. I do think 40 ounces is a good initial goal, especially if you're funds are pretty sparse. Increasingly, I think 3 to 6 months worth of living expenses is a minimum everyone should think about having in Silver, in Gold, and also in physical cash. Increasingly, I'm of the mind that people might want to start thinking about having multiple years worth of living expenses, specifically in Silver & Gold. I say this only because the plans that the elites have for our future are becoming a lot more clear, and it's pretty frightening. It's going to take a lot of cooperation with others and a stout heart to stay ahead of what's coming. Keep up the good work!

You're right. The plans to bankrupt middle class America are pure evil. A box of silver and a shotgun make a lot of sense.

Dude I like the recycling cans to buy silver. Rad idea. I’m gunna have to start doing that

It's not only an investment, but also a fun positive hobby.

I got about 80 oz of silver after 3 years of stacking , I say (about) because I have 5 coins that are 90% . I feel like I'll stop at 150 oz and from there try to stack 40oz of gold buying 4oz per year for 10 years, gonna be hard but that's the goal. I have some gold but I won't say how much, IRS may be watching 😂 I'm also a disabled veteran so thanks for your contribution to the wounded warrior project. 🙏

I just hit 111 troy oz silver.

Got an amazing deal on silver buffalos on SD. Bought two tubes and was blown away by how such a simple design looked far better than some complicated coins with many security features

Very very inspiring I especially liked the fact that you recycled cans, that gives me hope

i have always tried to do a 50 to 1 ratio in a year 50 oz of silver and 1 oz of gold added to my stack i dont always make my goal but its work in progress and iv been stacking for a few years now

I think everyone should own their own body weight in silver.

Dude 😎 that is the same way I been stacking silver!!!!!

I never had a staring point but gradually got to 100 ounces and I thought I was doing good and then I saw all these postings and conversations on the Facebook Precious metal groups, I never thought I’d see 500 ounces but after I got that I had my eyes set for 1000!

40oz is a great starting point. The price to hit this goal is low enough that it shouldn't impact your budget significantly. I love the visceral FEEL of silver rounds, so I try to keep at least a tube or two on hand. I mainly stack in 5-10oz bars depending on how much I can save in a set amount of time. For those new to this I would stick to rounds over bars if your starting at the 1oz levels. Not sure why, but if you do ever have a need to sell, they seem to like the rounds more than the bars for 1oz sizes. It is IMO better to save up to get a larger oz. bar as every size bar you step up the premium per oz. goes down. So if you can be patient, you will end up getting more troy ounces per dollar spent.

My starting goal was to stack as much as my budget would allow, and to not lose sight of that goal. I’ve been at it for about three years now and I have managed to put away ~300 oz of bullion, and ~200$ face in constitutional. Plus 1.25 oz gold. Some months I buy a single round, some months I buy a tube or bar. Slow and steady, buy what you can afford.

Yes, that is the point. Given the current premium on silver coins.... I do not see how investors getting into the market today think they will make any money from it. The people who have made or will make money on silver are those like yourself that purchased it donkey years ago...... or bought a truckload of it 5 to 10 years ago. From what I gather, the history of silver indicates a once every 25 years or more dramatic increase. However, society has changed a lot and the money people have a better understanding of how to manipulate the price..... so I do not see some 'fortuitous' event in the near future....... unless it is artificially created.
