I like the idea you're disciplined, and if buying silver keeps you that way, than drive on. You have enough money to buy gold, you just won't be buying that much. You put $100 into silver and a $100 into gold, you still have a $100 in each. Don't get me wrong. Not a gold fan at all. I love silver. I think you're wise in buying it versus gold.

Yes, but when silver spot was down the premiums more than covered the difference. When silver was at its low this year,, nobody could buy it below the most recent high because of the inflated premiums.

For many of the reasons you mentioned is why I have focused a lot more on gold since 2017. Premiums have certainly increased this year and it makes it difficult to see any return if you need to sell. However, I am bullish on silver in 2021 because of green technologies and the ever increased versatility silver adds in the industrial/tech sector. I think in many ways, it's irreplaceable in those uses (at least until graphene is widely adopted). Though there is plentiful supply, it is much more rare than copper and demand I think will increase which could lead to the narrowing of the GSR. How that will translate in premiums to buy is my guess not much less. They will continue to be high making it a very long term proposition for the strong stomached of silver stackers. My tummy is weak, hence why I focus more on gold. But, I am still optimistic for silver. Thanks for the discussion and for sharing your reasons so well! Happy New Year

@@JohnThompson-hc8bd Other goods or labor. I can agree in some situations gold and silver might be useful after an shtf situation. But honestly I feel like in some situations it's going to take a while before precious metals regain their value for a few reasons. 1. You can't eat silver, silver dosn't give you light, or heat your home. Silver provides no intrinsic value. It derives it's value from being rare and pretty. 2. How are you/other parties going to verify that silver is real? If it is truly a really bad situation there's no way to verify that silver/gold isn't just some other metal plated in silver/gold. Now to play the other side of the fence, I can definitely see how in some situations gold/silver would be a great idea. In a hyper-inflation/deflation it is possible that precious metals will retain alot of their value compared to your countries currency. Also in say lesser disasters where the power grid is still up and many businesses are still functioning it will still retain value. I also believe that in the years following a disaster (provided we can recover) I believe it will regain it's value. Honestly I don't think it's a bad investment so long as you diversify and don't put all your eggs in one basket. I believe the scenarios where precious metals retain their value are actually alot more likely to happen as well. I believe that the most likely shtf event is going to be another great depression. That's just my thoughts on the matter though.

Okay, yeah. You're a great example of someone who would have the platform to buy and move and profit from hot coins. Most of us don't. So, if a person's justification for paying wild premium is that they could get that back (i.e., it's not wasted premium) hopefully they have your kind of platform. Very few do.

Why I collect gold? It is unique. No other precious metal on the periodic table has the colour of gold. It's does not tarnish and has low reactivity. Only highly concentrated nitric acid, hydrochloric acid and aqua regia, a mixture of the two acids I mentioned dissolve gold. Gold is very valuable. There is more profit to be made from gold and it is the number one metal investors flock to in times of uncertainty. I love gold but as I mentioned I always feel I am being shortchanged when I buy 1 ounce of gold because a 1 ounce coin is very small. I feel I should have a 5 or 10 Oz coin for the price I pay for that 1 ounce.

Happy new year to you too!! Always good to hear some counter arguments to stacking silver. Silver is indeed more of hassle than gold. Personally, I do hold some silver but I only buy up until the average price I pay including premiums (!) is at most 75% of fair value as a margin of safety. Then the question arises what fair value is. For that I use the conservative fair value metric of Lyn Alden for gold and divide that by the 20-year average GSR. According to that metric silver right now is just a little over fair value, not grossly undervalued as many claim. There is considerable upside potential though. As I value silver indirectly from the amount of M2 per capita, a similar overvaluation of silver as in 2011 would take it to around $90-100. If it will reach that, I don't know and even if it does, such a spike is usually very short lived. But still, my aim is for silver only to be about 12,5% of my precious metals holding, divided over physical and ETF. The ETF-part is to be able to make use of a short lived spike in the price IF that occurs (a sort of right tail risk hedge, if you will). Concerning the nature of silver as a commodity, I would like to point towards an article by Jan Nieuwenhuijs: seekingalpha.com/article/4373933-warning-misleading-silver-supply-and-demand-data In this article he explains that silver isn't trading like a commodity, i.e. that there is no correlation between price and demand/supply, as it has a high stock-to-flow ratio. There is several decades of demand for silver in above ground stock, and at the right price that stock turns into supply. Due to this high stock-to-flow ratio, estimates vary from 20 to 45, silver trades more like a currency, albeit due to its small market cap a small currency (hence the volatility).

Historically silver stays low in economic hardship while gold climbs in price. Only after a couple years does it suddenly skyrocket in value as it stabilizes with the gold/silver ratio. I dont expect it to be rising in value soon. Probably not even in 2021. But because the low cost and pandemic, mines are closing due to the fact it costs more to mine silver than to sell it. But because it is such an industrial metal, stores will start to run low but the manufacturers have no choice but to buy it at an increasing price. I have a strong feeling silver will spike in value in a year or two.

I’ll still plan to buy silver in 2021, but only if I feel it’s at price that’s too good to pass up, with the premium included. I’ve also shifted to buying silver as a means to “lock up cash” and “hopefully” grow it, to then buy more gold with it. I flipped a lot of my silver into gold this year and it was at a decent profit.

Speaking of locking up cash, something you may or may not have heard of when poking around the crypto sphere (depends on how deep down the rabbit whole you went), is DeFi or decentralized finance. There are crypto protocols/projects that allow you to do more than just buy their digital token and hold it, in anticipation of it appreciating in value, but allow you to earn passive income from them. This is from something they’ve termed as “staking” or “yield farming.” Think of it as sort of savings account on steroids with some having APYs from 40 - 2,000%! I know...seems scammy!

I like how you brought up it’s expected potential this year and how it has not shown dramatic growth even with everything that happened. Also excited and hopeful to see some more 1/10th gold coins in HD. I really recommend the 1/10 Britannia, low premium and excellent features.

Great video! I agree that if contemporary events haven’t pushed silver prices higher than they already are, it’s hard to see them skyrocketing. Whereas gold, crypto and even some index funds should continue to climb. Best wishes and Happy New Year to all! 🎊 🎆 💥

Thanks. I appreciate the alternate viewpoint. It helps add balance to other videos promoting the benefits of silver. I personally have a stack of silver, but am wary of buying more. As you rightly point out, the premiums charged are a major disincentive. I really like coins, but again the premiums charged on them, outweigh the benefits. Bars are the only way to get any real potential return. Coins only good if we expereince a doomsday scenario in politics or economy. At moment, like you my focus tends to be on Gold ....trying to show patience an buying the dips

Interresting video

This is a nice video and I got a bit too caught up in silver. With that said, I think diversification, (along with your slow and steady advice) is the best approach. Starting off in silver is a great way to get into precious metal, and to be honest less risky in the short term. Long term- gold all the way. But diversification, and even adding some platinum in the mix.

Every time I see a good price ... it’s out of stock... so stuck with high premium.

The premiums are ridiculous at the moment but I still buy on confidence it will double. If you get too much trade for some gold. If we go back to. Bartering need smaller trade units thanks for sharing your views

My best purchase just a few years ago was a 1oz Pamp Palladium bar, bought on impulse for something different to have at around £580, being some 25% less than dealer price. I was pleased to later sell it at a almost twice that, thinking "get shut", petrol cars are going out, catalytic converters (it's main usage) soon no longer needed. That dealer is now asking £2330 and that is in a sale! Oh well.....

I appreciate your insights and thanks for making this video. As a newbie, I'm confused as to why palladium, used in petrol vehicles, has been able to rise so substantially over the past several years, but silver will be artificially suppressed by banks, etc. What is the difference? I'm still trying to understand why, historically, silver prices remain so low compared to other metals. Thanks for any insights you can share.

Mostly it has to do with rarity. Silver simply isn’t very rare.

And one is none. After binge watching your videos the last couple weeks, it’s obvious you prefer a federally backed coin (for obvious liquidatable reasons.) What are your thoughts on procuring gold at/under spot price from a mint like Perth? I know it may not turn the same on a local market. But should one strictly adhere to purchasing federally minted metals, in your personal opinion?

@2is1gold

Yeah, government backed coins are easier to sell than bars are. And buying from your country's mint if possible will be the best option for resale. If you can get Perth Mint coins for spot, though, that's a great deal. Cheers!

very interesting point in the self regulating qualities of industrial metals, and why that is a reason to go for gold over silver. I really appreciate the channel. After having bitcoin since my freshman year in college when it made its initially rally to 20k, and having the words "get gold" scribed on my whiteboard for the next 4 years, I got my first gold bar and shortly thereafter found your channel. Since then I have heavily dove into researching other means of investing via stocks, bonds, IRA's, etc. and have managed to figure out TDameritrade well enough to start a standard investment portfolio and a Roth IRA. I would think that your keen insight and objectivity/non-snake oil salesman personality had something to do with hurrying my financial literacy growth along, so thank you and please continue to make videos on topics people may not want to hear.

You’re spot on. Gold you can hold for the long term. Silver you have to have your finger on the trigger to sell. Also, why would anyone buy an asset and be in the hole 20% the day you buy it.

I bought an Ag patch and am trying to wean myself off of the metal. I started out with silver and have been switching to gold this year. Unfortunately there are so many temptations out there. Can’t say I disagree with anything you said. I’m not a flipper so it doesn’t make sense to pay those premiums. I totally agree that there has to be manipulation of the price to keep it as low especially this year. Old habits die hard. Excellent video!

I think there's a lot of people making that shift right now from silver to gold, even long time silver buyers are moving to gold. I even notice it on eBay, there's listings for very popular silver pieces that stay up much longer and I'm seeing more and more gold running out faster, I'm noticing the shift myself. Gold is a slower process but It builds up in a short amount of time. Don't underestimate the potential of silver, silver may be frustrating, but it will have its day.

I just buy silver for the collection. For stacking i prefer gold 🙂

Cool bass man. I agree I'm not expecting much from silver. Even though I love it. So I will keep buying here and there as a decades long investment. At worst you will roughly get your money back when you sell.

I bought silver, it is good to hear all sides, as I bought in early 2016 I got good premiums and I'm up roughly 50% in 5 years. Now the premiums are up too high to buy more but I'm hopeful for the 2011 prices as it is due to happen again at some point.

At one point this year, I bought 1k in BTC, 1k in ETH, sold 1k of silver, bought 1k of gold and bought .5k of SLV. I’m afraid to show the updated performance comparisons here! 🤣

I agree, I myself bought a while ago collectors silver coins of 2 ounces a piece and the main reason was that it was a beautiful designed coin manufactured in extremely low number. it’s just a nice coin to look at , no more no less. like you I prefer gold over silver.

I agree with you about most the aspects of silver. I started buy mostly bars back in 2011 . I didn’t spend much time or money on anything that had more than 2.00 over spot when it came to liberty or libertads . I have been able to trade up for gold many times with local dealers . I had a few coin dealers in Ensenada Mexico and in the winery areas of Baja that are reliable but coronavirus has made it difficult to cross the border. Thank you for another informative video

I do get your take on the premiums on premium silver, but if your stacking for weight only and don’t want to pay that high premium, generic silver is always an option.I look at this Au. & Ag. game as the turtle 🐢 and hare 🐇 ...silver is lower than it’s all time high,with a lot of room to grow,to me that sounds like a good investment...I like both metals and being diversified in both metals to me is smart ...But the great thing about this community is that we all stack with a different opinion and strategy and it’s interesting 🤔 hearing other opinions...keep up the good videos and God Bless.

I try to spend about equal on both and always find a way to avoid payin a cent over spot, im curious of opinions in this senario considering how often the argument invoves premiums being the catalist

Nice sir

I too am mostly buying gold. To silvers defense however sometimes it's premiums increase. In 2017 I bought eagles for 2.50 over spot & generics for 40 cents over spot. I sold some this year and got my premiums back plus whatever the base metal gained.

Silver coins as a commodity is the same regarding the premiums as if you buy another commodity like petrol and you spend 20% in the barrel to keep it in your garage....said that I like coins, and I like and enjoy collecting with my kid we have fun together...also Im not selling anytime in life unless is absolutely needed so Im sure is a great thing (savings..not investment) that I enjoy. If you want to make money there are now better options...100% agree. Also Gold is a no brainer, tier 1 asset...is a time capsule to put your fiat value over decades and keep it probably with same gains then...but is not its purpose, its purpose is backing your wealth...as banks do...I have few gold coins..but men..too expensive to do a collection to look at and hold in your hand...if I could I will put 40% of my fiat in Gold all day long..but lots of bills every month😂👍
