During relatively stable economic times, I would not have a problem storing my metals in a remote vault service such as yours....even one offshore. But most true stackers accumulate metals as an insurance policy against global financial meltdown, in which case having 20, 30, or 100 thousand worth of metals stored in a facility 2,000 miles away wont do me any good at all. If you think a flood may be coming, do you want a boat in your backyard, or do you want a piece of paper saying you own a boat in the Cayman Islands? Just food for thought.

Facts

[@jazzyk4046]

My thoughts too. I'd rather keep with me than in a bank or some vault. There might even be a tiny clause in the agreement somewhere saying they are not liable for losing our stored metals in times of war or etc. However, anything stored at home may risk being stolen or exposed to risk of disasters such as fire etc... Perhaps a good idea is to get them insured. Having them in forms of jewelry so you can wear them is a good way to always have them with you too. It's what people in asia do.

You should of mentioned the Gold Silver Ratio for beginners. Some stackers I watch say go all in on silver because the ratio is so high right now. But you mentioned as I am learning, the shear weight of silver gives it a slight disadvantage to gold. I think I heard Gerald Celante say once that he prefers gold over silver because of the ease of portability.

[@SWPCayman]

Hi Joseph, the gold silver ratio is definitely a relevant point and will be addressed in a future episode, 100%. Thank you for your feedback. Enjoy the rest of the episodes.

[@williamwilson6499]

Should of?

[@dmircea5]

Celente is a multi millionaire so if he bought silver he would need a Walmart to store in. While same monetary amount of gold would take up a bathroom stall in the Walmart. Silver outperforms gold wether up or down. Gold goes up or down 5x silver will follow 10-20x faster. In next recession it is said silver may outperform 30x faster. Unless you plan on investing hundreds of thousands of dollars, silver is there way to go.

Price ratio is something to consider. Right now the ratio is 89/1. It dips below 65/1 every 4-7 years. With that being considered, buy silver when the ratio is high, then trade for gold when the ratio is low. Then back to silver when it goes high again. You can grow your investment over time (in ounces) without putting in more cash, or you can continue to invest, multiplying the effect.

[@techtalks86]

I agree with the OP. Exiting silver before a massive rise will cost you due to the tax in the UK. Gold is cheaper to pop in and out of. Long term gold will do well, but silver will explode post JPMorgan manipulation.

[@westcoaststacker569]

I can walk into the local dealer and pay cash or sell for cash. Only time paperwork is needed I believe is over $ 10,000.00 Easy to find the actual details.

[@2011blueman]

If you can afford gold, then buying gold 1/2 oz. and 1 oz. gold coins are always better than silver. Silver premiums are outrageous. If you want to diversify, palladium is better given the high industrial demand and very constrained supplies.

Funny you say that. In the book "Your Money or Your Life" in the first few sentences it says something along the lines of "If you were offered a billion dollars but had to spend the rest of your life in a silent dark room alone you wouldn't take it. It's not the money you want. It's the life the money can buy. The name of the book (Your money or your Life) comes from if a mugger put a gun to your head and said your money or your life you'd give up your money. You value your life more than money. Yet do we? We consistently are given that same deal throughout our lives and we chose money instead of living our life. Great book!

[@SomervilleBob]

Great presentation. Nice visual with the bars of metal. I always convert my silver and platinum into 24K gold grain. It stores easily and is easy to resell to the jewelers who need it to make karat gold items. Reselling pure silver, I found, is difficult as I've never met anyone in the jewelry industry who alloys their own sterling.

[@SWPCayman]

Glad you like it Bob. Be sure to share the channel with other gold and silver enthusiasts.

_I always convert my silver and platinum into 24K gold grain._ How? And what premium (or discount) do you sell it for over spot?

[@SomervilleBob]

@@RonJohn63 I bring my precious metal scrap to the refiner (you need a business license to get in. Patriot Act) and instead of taking back a check, I take back 24K grain). I just horde it for now. They charge me a few bucks over spot.

Gold/palladium are overpriced in my opinion, silver and platinum are severely undervalued

[@manictiger]

I think gold is fairly priced, given the recent announcements of "infinite QE". Palladium is overpriced. Platinum is underpriced. No opinion on silver. It's too bulky and with that kind of dollar per volume ratio, I'd prefer ammo, which I also am overstocked on and will probably have to rent a truck to sell.

3:50 thats awesome my 18th birthday is in 4 days and I made it my new years resolution to start investing into Silver and Gold (physical) from now on good to know building up a Silver Stash especially is a good idea going forward due to its rising industrial use and the shortages going around i wanted to start buying up all the Silver and Gold i could when I was 16 but my family told me to just save my money when thats kinda what I was doing when I start up my stash thats exactly what its gonna be im gonna keep it all under my other house in the crawl space

[@DarkAngelEU]

Just did a little bit of my own research on investing in gold... it really only matters if you already have a couple of thousands to spare and it's easier to make money on old gold coins than just buying these bars and hope the market is gonna rise. Try and find old coins in good condition, buy them for the current price per gram or as close if possible, and just sell them to collectors for some profit. If no one's interested in their historic value, at least you can still sell them for being gold. It seems like throwing these videos out on KZbin might be a good thing, but on the other hand it feels a bit like a Catch-22, if you aren't already letting it hang, there's no point to invest in precious metals bc you might just as well lose money by having invested too little. I'm gonna stay with buying art books (first edition) and sell them before a second print comes out. Get 300%+ out of those sometimes.

[@buffalo1d]

Where do you buy and re sell them at? What are they? It sounds interesting I like art.

[@DarkAngelEU]

@@buffalo1d I always buy from the publisher, because that's a guarantee the book will be wrapped and transported carefully. The book will be in a mint condition because it is a fresh print. Then, to sell, it really depends on what kind of book it is. I mostly invest in photography books, bc I'm a photographer by education, so that's what I know most about: what artists are popular, which ones will sell, when will they sell, for how much,... The easiest way to make money is by investing in limited editions. These are expensive versions of the original photobook (XL, luxury binding, exclusive print, signed by the artist, etc.), but they are very limited and almost never get a reprint so you have a guarantee these can be sold at a higher price to a collector. These can be risky investments, bc not every photographer that makes luxury editions are marketable. The easiest investment is buying books from popular photographers. For example, I always buy books from Wolfgang Tillmans and they always sell with a profit. The important part is that you have an original book on your hands, not a reprint, and that it as published by the artist himself, so not Cartier-Bressons except the original ones, which of course sell for crazy prices! You're not gonna get rich from this, unless you're willing to put alot of money in it, but it's fun to trade and especially to keep my collection paying itself. I'm a big fan of Japanese photography and these books are expensive bc most of the time they're hard to come by, and sometimes the prices are already raised for Western audiences. Finding them, and being able to buy a duplicate for later selling, is a great relief to my wallet lol Just make sure you know what's up in the art scene, bc not every photo- or art-book is gonna make a profit. It's always safe to invest on established artists, but finding ones that are still developing their work, that are popular with young audiences, that's where you can get alot of money.

[@jimbig3997]

Dissappointed he never mentioned the gold:silver ratio - right now it's at an all time extreme which is bound to change in the coming years.

[@kubevoid3977]

Yes... Missing the entire point. If anyone is interested in free gold educate yourself on the GSR

[@stephenpack2202]

Modern ratio is around 50 to 1 not 16 to 1 when both metals were used as money

[@DanijelTurina973]

It's a compelling argument, true. But I don't think it's "bound" to do anything; the same reasons why this ratio increased thus far might push it even further in the future, and it wouldn't be any less logical. I expect silver to go up significantly, but since its price was mostly suppressed by manipulation thus far, I don't see why manipulation would suddenly cease unless the manipulators were somehow removed from the position of power.

I was always under the impression it was better to have smaller amounts like 1oz bars rather than larger ones so that if you were in need you could sell 1oz bars rather that to have to sell off a whole 5 or 10 oz bar.

[@wyattchiordi5132]

If you want to make larger trades it would be handy to have big bars. Such as for cattle or land

[@gluemuncher1986]

I have a question? How likely is silver to tarnish over the years, and how would it affect the selling value?

[@robertoh.20]

it doesn't if they're paying spot prices.

[@18661873]

Tarnish is likely but it does not affect the value.

[@jec1ny]

Tarnish is hard to prevent. As long as your buying bullion as opposed to numismatics or collectable silver, tarnish won't have much effect. If your buying collectibles you are going to want to store them in capsules or some kind of protective container and avoid handling them with bare hands/fingers. One of the things not mentioned in the video are rounds vs coins. Coins are struck by sovereign mints and have legal tender value. Rounds are are struck by private mints and do not have legal tender value. I tend to prefer rounds over coins due to their premium and I don't have to worry about how pretty they look when its time to sell.

[@jujumontana2171]

Silver is the first stepping stone to me getting to my first oz of gold. So, for those hating on silver and think it's useless/worthless.. Think of it as the first rung on your ladder to a 1oz bar of gold. Will it take a while? Not if you invest in Fine Silver Proof Sets from either UK or Australia. You're welcome. I have only 5 Aussie Fine Silver Proof Sets [purchased for $300AUD each], and have made almost 200% profit from each of them. If I wasn't a coin collector, I would wait for a little while longer and sell them off for a 1oz bar of gold.
