There really is no downside to buying a tangible, that has been overlooked by the market for so very long. Silver used to track with gold when we were on the gold standard, JFK created the silver certificate and the banks killed him for it. Silver should be somewhere around a couple hundred dollars per ounce now, but it still seems to be undervalued. If the dollar crashes, (it will), silver will skyrocket, just like gold. Get you some, it won't just disappear, like paper or fiat bullshit. The value will increase the worse things get.
That may be true overall. But right now the main stream news media is creating an artifical hype for silver. I say wait for the hype to calm down before paying as 12% or more premium.
Yeah, go ahead and wait for manufacturing to catch up right? There is a finite amount of it. They ain't gonna make more of it. But good luck with what ever plan you make. As for myself, I have a small stash of old silver coins, a couple of pounds worth. It wont make me rich, but at least I'll still have currency when the dollar is imploded.
