      Cause the shiny 40K car will net you only half the second you started it even once, whereas 10K silver will remain 10K silver no matter what you do with it. Thats why ....
      The times when car theft was a great way to make cash are all but gone. Even the premiums are insanly hard to get rid of except for when selling them in parts.
      Which of course will magnifold your risks of being caught indefinatly.
      Silver and gold you just remelt into neat bars/coins or skulls and sell them for 1,5x or more of spot price on ebay with zero risks.

      Terrible comparison. People buy cars for practical transportation/social status purposes. They don't expect the car to be a storer of wealth the way they would stocks/bonds/PMs/savings accounts. Only one of those things takes up physical space, the precious metals, and gold takes up 80x less space than silver. If you are storing wealth and desire compactness, portability, and the ability to grab it with your free hand as you escape a house fire, you get two 10oz gold bars, not the treasure chest full of silver in the video.

    Ammo cans. Military surplus ammo tins hold the weight of silver very well (since they were designed to hold lead ammunition) and they stack great in a large safe.
    You can easily get 500oz in a 50cal ammo can. And with that you could carry 1000oz to the car at a time, if you are worried about bug-out and portability.
    Not to mention ammo cans are air-tight, so add a silica pack and less moisture means reduced tarnishing.

      One of the big complaints about silver stacking is its storage and difficultly to move/transport. I’ve found that surplus ammo boxes are a real convenient low-cost solution which scales well.
      You can get 80K of silver into 10 ammo tins and they all fit perfectly in a medium sized safe..

    A man named William Cooper who wrote the book Behold a Pale Horse who was only wrong one time in his entire life said these words. "JP Morgan & Company who have the most above-ground physical silver in the world will crash the metals market and people will panic and they will sell all of their silver whether it be physical or on the market, and then they will buy it all back for pennies on the dollar". Hold on to your physical silver because you are hedging against the dollar and the dollar will collapse just like Venezuela and every other civilization that had paper currency, they all collapsed, all you have to do is look at history and learn from it. Keep buying silver in fractional increments and 1 oz to 2 oz coins or bars maximum, there's not much you can do with a kilo bar. Silver is for one thing and one thing only, to barter and trade goods when you can't buy anything with Monopoly money. In the meantime just admire its beauty

    I stacked 300 oz of silver in my first year, and quickly realized that stacking beyond a monsterbox, 500oz was not so practical, because I have a nomadic lifestyle in the present (outside shtf scenarios), and therefore it is wiser to move from place to place with compact gold. I relocated my home this year, and the safety of my silver during transport was something notable.

    The Silver /Gold Ratio is about 84-85 to one. That means you can buy 85 oz of silver for one oz of gold. Then you can sit back and wait for the ratio to fall. In 2008, the Ratio went to about 40. At that point, take your silver back to the coin shop and buy 2 oz of gold. Granted, you have to pay premiums, but even then, you are ahead and you took zero risk

    I heard this argument to many times, so what if you have 1,200 ounces of gold what do you do. Open your mind, whether, you have 12 thousand ounces of silver or Gold, you should not be worried about how you could hide it in your house or having a huge safe because you should not have that much inside you house period. Bury it somewhere on your property in air tight and water proof containers, and be creative when doing so. I live in the U.S and whether Im investing 5,000 or 50,000 I believe Silver has the bigger upside than gold. If your Silver went up to 200 an ounce and you had 10 thousand ounces , that you bought on average of 18 dollars an once would you care about storage? Not me.!!!! I think if you stack Gold to diversify that's great, but if your doing it because it takes up less space, well then you know how I feel about that.

      +Markus Patients My point was based on what was said in the video about owning gold because its easier to hide or store. I wasnt speaking about economic collapse, but in the event of a economic collapse it will be nice to have gold and silver for after the reset, in my opinion. Why would I be worried about traveling with my gold or silver, I have no plans of going anywhere. If there was a complete collapse, my family and some close friends will have more than enough food and water for at least a year, and the means to protect ourselves god willing. What will a pocket full of gold get you in that time. If you think $20,000 in silver is hard to travel with, try hundreds of cases of water and at least a year worth of food. That's why I stack mostly silver in my opinion its the better investment. Im not worried about how Im going to travel with it, an unless you plan on eating your gold and silver during an economic collapse you should be preparing and staying put, thats just my opinion, to each there own. I hope you understand now why I think the logic behind stacking gold because its easy to store or travel with bothers me, especially when most people agree silver is the better buy right now. If your buying gold to diversify, I could see the logic in that. Peace.

    • @TemplarsCreed
      @TemplarsCreed 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @bduncan9724 For us in the UK, that is still a loss for most silver investors. You see, we pay 20% VAT on silver, not to mention increased premiums and when you sell back to the dealers (which most people end up doing) they always give below the spot price. So you can see that even with a 25% increase, I have made no profits on my silver stack. Now gold on the other hand is different. As mentioned above, my first ounce was £380. Gold spot price is now £2,200 an ounce. (More than the £1500 I posted just a few years ago). This illustrates the awesome power of gold even more. Silver is a waste of time. Trade in your silver and invest in gold. Always keep a bit of silver because you never know with a wild card, but personally my recommendation should be 90% Gold 10% silver (10% covering the possibility of silver exploding). That's how my precious metals portfolio looks anyways and it has served me very well. Again, silver I am breaking even but gold is more than making up for that.

    Complete agree. I'm fairly new to staking but had quite a bit of money to put into PMs and quickly got up to 500oz (mix of bars and brit tubes). I'm stopping there and have moved onto gold, have 5oz and looking to increase over the next few years.

Calling the Sheriff will always be the "after I deal with the intruder" option. If you can...grab your gun, not your phone. And I wish the U.K. had that luxury.
    But buying silver shouldn't necessarily be looking to turn a big short-term profit. 2 reasons to buy:
    1. To make the long-term (decades if you have) investment.
    2. Because (regarding America), a future involving the democratic party looks very grim on the dollar's value. Things keep going down the same path, silver will skyrocket as the dollar nosedives. People with paper and digital bank accounts will really struggle. And silver value will only go up. If you have enough silver...and guns to defend it...you'll have enough money to provide for your family for years. Better than joining the millions who'll hunt for food. Better to let them do the dirty work, risk their lives against other hunters, and hand them pieces of silver for game, right?

    how much above ground silver and gold is there ?
    How much below ground ?

    I’m a very new stacker but I studied on it for at least two years before I started buying in a significant way. I don’t really worry too much about an apocalyptic scenario in the United States and I’m not trying to get rich quick. I’m also NOT trying to prepare for the complete collapse of the dollar.
    My goal is to freeze the buying power of todays dollar the best I can and hand it down to my 15 year old son and allow him to exit my holdings the best he can.
    I like hearing opinions like yours and I certainly appreciate the time everyone spends explaining their goals and why they stack the way they do. I would never criticize anyone for explaining their strategy.
    I do worry about the strength of the US dollar as it can be fairly volatile depending on so many variables such as
    The sitting Presidents values on spending.
    Social and economic values and the agendas they will FORCE FEED THE US population at any cost. Right now the most popular agendas are Gay and Green I think but it could change to anything at anytime. The US Gov has increased our national deficit enormously while propping up solar panel and electric car companies that will never see an honest return. There’s a lot of pay offs to still be done and more to come. It will be a long time before we crawl out of Obamanomics.
    The Unknown
    It’s just FUN to stack and learn.
    And of course War (but not in a apocalyptic way).
    There’s also another reason I am stacking. Now that I have a “little” confidence in buying I am just addicted to it. Lol I joke but it’s true! Do not confuse this with greed because I’m not a greedy person at all. I have been accused of hoarding because I tend to keep everything I can but with stacking at least I’m hoarding something valuable and for a good reason or reasons. Lol
    I just love silver and gold although I don’t have much gold to speak of yet! Maybe that will change as I flip my silver into gold someday when the time is right.

    some point to agree, but it depends on our strategy. if you are investing in ratio, you will definitely hoarding silver and hoarding bigger block such as 1kg above.but, if you are diversifying in metal, you would do some percentage of what you are holding.in metal, i do 2:6:2 portfolio.20% in gold, 60% in ratio and 20% in silver.as of current ratio, you can say that my strategy is 20% gold, 80% silver.as of total diversification of wealth, you might want to consider 2:3:3:2 portfolio ratio that will be 20% metal, 30% cash, 30% land and 20% others.just sharing my strategy. cheers mate.

But, with impending serial market crashes combined with a threatening currency collapse, then probable deflation followed by hyperinflation (or vice versa) for several years thereafter, probably soon oncoming ...

      PART TIME PREPPERS silver as a good store of value? Are you out of your mind - it went from 8 to 16 in 37 years. The dow in that time went up 10 times, so silver lost 80 % of its value.
      On the bright side, fiat currency collapses every 250 years, and for a few brief week before that collapse silver will be a great investment. The problem with stacking is the difficulty of selling silver, not the ease of buying it. You need to be able to sell very fast to take advantage of periodic spikes that last a week or two.

      Most severe financial crisis events typically have INFLATIONARY and DEFLATIONARY phases.
      In an INFLATIONARY or hyper-INFLATION (most common) situation both Gold and Silver perform very well.
      Historically, In a severe DEFLATIONARY situation, gold 'can' decrease in value (~as during the three severe financial crisis of the 20th century), Gold decreased by ~40% from the pre-crisis value) while Silver went VERY 'negative' vs. its pre-crisis value.
      Gold is vastly superior to hold during a DEFLATIONARY event, versus Silver. Too much RISK to hold too much silver during a DEFLATIONARY event - IMO. Dont limit yourself by holding only Gold OR only holding Silver. Have both to cover your 'possibilities'. More Gold than Silver is the better bet - IMO.

  • @benth162
    @benth162 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I can imagine that your premiums for that much silver and of the type you've show, would probably run you over $2000 dollars. AND, that is just the "Buy" premium. Now, add your "Sell" premium and that will cost you almost 16% of the value of your hoard. Yep that is a bad investment, unless you plan to hold on to it for more than a few years until the price goes up at least 16% or so, to cover your loss from the premiums. Unless there is a financial collapse the price will continue to be manipulated such that you will not realize their true value for some time to come.

    I value your opinion, it is important to have gold for bug out purposes but when the reset happens silver will increase at least 40 times and it will pass your wealth onto the next financial realm and you’ll increase your wealth by 40 times at least.
    Silver is good if things get bad as long as you don’t have to bug out. So it’s good to have both as long as you have a safe place to store it.

    The 20% VAT rate on silver (and platinum) in the UK is a real killer to any potential profits and then you have to pay dealer's commissions on top otherwise they would be an excellent investment. Also, as you pointed out a big stack of silver presents problems in home security whereas as you say gold is much easier to hide but then silver is much more barterable so that's the trade off. Still these precious metals are a good hedge against a potential economic collapse but that also brings into the question that governments have confiscated gold in the past in such times of hardship and uncertainty.

    • @BackyardBullion
      @BackyardBullion  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

I essentially paid for 11oz and got 10oz, with the CAN currency factored in well that's a whole other variable to consider. I feel I bought at a good time. I will continue to stack but I will be focusing more on the fact of an oz of silver is just an oz of silver, I will not focus on expensive over priced coins that have a higher premium, plain Jane bars all day..

    The problem with outdoor storage of silver is the corrosion building up. Gold doesn´t corrode so you can bury it. I will also run into the same problem, but i will sell (trade in gold) some stuff when i am at about 50 kg of silver. Silver is for saving and maybe making some money, and Gold is an absolute wealth storage for long time. In case of a crisis it is not good to have only gold. Buying a bread with an ounce of gold is a bad idea. An ounce of silver sounds better and the people don´t rob you when you have 3 or 4 silver coins in your pocket.

      In the US, for BARTERING purposes, one should have 'junk' silver (90% silver pre-1964) coins: dimes, quarters, 50¢ pieces. Use 'junk' silver for bartering, save the .9999 grade for your storage of wealth. Many of the PM dealers offer 'bags' of 'junk' silver coins. 'Junk' silver in the US presently is in the range of ~$12-13/troy oz. ... 0.9 X 'ask' + (if) premium. When the SHTF, do you really want to be flashing $10-13000+ gold 1 oz. coins or $700 silver 1 oz. coins in front of terrified & starving mobs of the 'new' proletariat, especially when buying a quart of milk and a loaf of bread or a ham & cheese sandwich on rye bread?
      Although if you do the estimate 'future' calculations, that milk will probably be $35/qt., the loaf @ $25 and that ham sandwich will be about $45.00 in 'new' (still and yet, 'semi-fiat') dollars.
      If you bury, know that all silver corrodes; 0.9999 gold does not corrode; but less than 24 kt. WILL eventually corrode.

Each ounce of physical is hypothecated by a factor of well over 50oz in the flagrantly illegal futures market whereby derivative instruments allow bullion banks to sell invisible, nonexistent virtual ounces in a naked short fashion and keep the price on AG ridiculously suppressed. The Gold: Silver ratio should have AG should be priced at 1:10 or arguably 1:8.9 as each ounce of gold now only equates to roughly 8.9oz of silver pulled from the ground, and the current GSR is well over 75! This makes silver undervalued by a factor of at least 8, and if silver prices correlated with fiat goverment paper expansion over the last 10 years, its price would be well over $150/oz, and based on Aggregate US Debt over $570/oz (see www.usdebtclock.org/, which USED to have Silver: US Debt over $850/oz)! Why do you think JP Morgan is hoarding AG and not AU? All about the inane GSR! Premiums in the US are far, far less.

If you take a look at the charts & internals of /SI (silver futures market), and understand that JPM had to take over Bear Stearns’ books (they were a market maker for the silver market pre-collapse). JPM has been acquiring and taking physical delivery on these contracts for years. The consolidating price for Silver will soon come to an end once JPM takes the lid, so to speak, off of the Silver futures

      Also as far as the Dollar goes, there is always deflation before hyperinflation. Deflation is a perspective, because we are actually in an inflationary environment. The fed can not control inflation and once this comes to a head you will not be able to buy silver, it will be sold out. This is the absolute *BEST* time to buy silver and gold. Russia, China & Iran is acquiring a lot of the world’s Gold. If they were to ever back their currencies with it (Yuan is already pegged to Chinese oil as of recently), the Dollar will see a swift and inevitable demise

    14.85 an oz right now... No tax in the US and on top of that I work for a coin and bullion company so I get it at or just below spot sometimes for physical silver. Can't go wrong right now. In 10 years I can see it hovering steady around 23-25 or maybe 25-28 (just like it hovers between mid $14 to mid $18 now) with a big jump like the time it hit $48 an ounce in there somewhere but it won't last so sell and re purchase when it bottoms out again. Silver usually jumps when countries make large purchases. China stocking up on silver made it jump to an all time high, the speculation on why they bought and if it was because of a possible switch to the gold standard made their currency shoot up in value too. So when a big jump happens look around for the causes and see all the places you can make money because if a country switches to the gold standard like was speculated to be happening, their currency is just as good. If it ends up they don't switch, which is usually the case, it still went up because you buy low sell high. So in the end you make more money to put back into PM's until you're ready to cash out or the time comes when you're going to need them.

  • @garyturnbull6415

    I think its a great idea to buy silver for two reasons. “By no stretch am i an expert” but due to my lifestyle and monetary constraints i find it very hard to save any cash. Buying physical silver/gold allows you to convert your cash into a physical commodity that you cant just pluck from your wallet at the first threat of money problems.
    And secondly whilst being a slightly volatile investment it will always carry value in the future. I intend on reducing my contributions toward state/private pension schemes and buying physical gold/silver instead. As the threat of pensions devaluing and in worst cases disappearing is just far too concerning for me to risk my later years on.
    That and getting double taxed on pensions is just a little bit sickening.
    Id rather take the risks of storing my own physical gold/silver over the next 30 years and taking a few hits on the price fluctuations than out and out losing money to the governments control over my later life pension.

Even though silver is much needed in industry etc. and the massive amounts of silver that's used in technology cannot be recovered? There will be a shortage in the very near future which will cause a stampede for silver and there will be none available and the cost of existing silver will soar.

    • @richh1576
      @richh1576 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Physical Gold & Silver are THE antidote for inflation !!!! ... Gold also good for times of deflation; Silver can go up; and, can go well DOWN in value during a deflationary event.
      Nzm Ak has a much better ADVICE posting of (best) 'ratios' (for normal times **and bad**) in the following threads below. (expand 'all' comments and then do a find-search (command-F on a Mac) for "Nzm AK" to find his quite PROFOUND recommendation.
      10% in PMs is based on gold or silver price expanding by ~7.5X - ie. gold to ~$10000±/oz. and Silver to ~$670±/oz. As such, during a currency reset and/or major market crash that 10% will expand in value to approx. 75% of your 'previous' value of wealth --- you lose 25% of your liq. assets, (while everyone else loses ~80-90%, 'wiped out'), and you have 'something substantial' with which to immediately restart your financials.
      Nzm Ak's offering is for 20% in precious metals ... the 'yield' could possibly be 150% - you've saved your assets and made a handsome (but untaxed) profit to boot - but perhaps a bit risky if deflation (of gold price, etc.) predominates.
      A 7.5X $gold increase is based on ....
      Currently there's approx. $23 Trillion in global currency, 51 million oz. of gold (reported). expect/assume a 40% fractional gold 'backing' of 'new' currency. Present Gold price @ ~$1300/oz.t
      Calculation: $23,000,000,000,000 (.40) = 51,000,000 oz. gold X $"x" /oz. gold, .... solve for "x". x = ~$10,000/oz.; 10,000/1300 = 7.5X increase of $Gold.
      All approximate; and a lot of people's best guesstimates so far to date.
      I can 'see' this all happening by 2021 or 2022 at the latest. Perhaps sooner if the the trend-track or time-line to the 'official reset' becomes 'botched'.
      Carefully scutinize ANY public pronouncements by the IMF to keep 'close' to the eventual 'reset'.
      Lastly, if the $price of PMs starts to rapidly and exponentially 'move up' and well and *far above* their current 'resistance' level, it will probably be too late to buy due to supply issues due to previous futures contracts that are (finally) executed.
