Silver cannot fall too much because it is used by some industries. So if the economy goes down, it is more secure than cash, and if the economy goes up, the industrial demand goes up. But I still buy gold instead, because in Germany, physical silver is sold with consumer tax while gold coins are tax free.
Why not buy both
Tax is 19% for silver here. I would have to found an investment company to get it back when selling. Or buy paper instead of physical. These problems don't exist with "investment" gold (coins, bars - not jewelry).
Scheisser! That's expensive
