I stack silver because I'm retired and poor. I started stacking silver back in 2017 when I was still working and the premium was super low. I was able to get quite a bit of it at $14 per ounce.

I buy both because silver is a holy metal.

I stacked silver 2017-2019. Then stacked gold 2022-2023. I like silver but switched to gold because of silver's weight. A person can only reasonably be expected to carry a 50 pound suitcase or backpack. That's 730 ounces of silver, about $21,000 worth. The same weight in gold would be about $1.7 million. That's when I plan to stop stacking gold - 730 ounces 😂

I started stacking silver in January. I switched to gold in April. Buying fractional gold each month just makes more sense to me given the high price of silver.

I think of gold as stocks and silver as bonds. Both may perform differently at different times. Silver tends to do well when the ecomony is hot and gold when the ecomony is down although that hasn't been the case in 2023 with both metals performing well. But it's good to own both as you don't know what's going to happen in any given year and there is always the off chance that silver may spike in value.

I have both 500 oz of silver and 6 oz of gold. Both amounts about equal in value as of June 2024 and both give me a reason to keep an eye on their values vs the USD until I retire or die. I'm done with metals though. My next investments will be elsewhere.

They both definitely have their perks, I prefer gold when I can afford it. -DS

"The stock market is a chart of rich people's emotions" I once heard. The PM market is also a chart of rich people's emotions and rich people don't have problem buying gold.
