To me, a large part of the choice is how one expects to hold them. If one intends to never sell, come hell or high prices, then I think gold is the better choice. However, if one believes that if the market offers you a gift you should take it, then silver offers more opportunity, in my view. Twice in the past 50 years, silver prices have gone on runs that easily outpaced gold. However, those who didn't accept the gift and sell their silver saw all the gains go away. Personally, I think silver has another run coming - don't know when or how high, but I do think some time within the next five years or so silver will dramatically outpace gold. If and when it does, though, I will sell every ounce and buy gold, or stocks or put a down payment on a little cabin on a lake. To me, gold is for saving, silver is for trading.

[@2is1gold]

I can see that strategy for sure. Silver could make a run at some point. I just don't think of it as being relative to gold. Cheers!

[@dont.ripfuller6587]

It's not talked about the whole lot, but the industrial side for silver and the next 20 or 30 years or less, looks to show for a higher demand than what can be mined, which would see private stackers turned to by industry for what they have, which might see supply and demand actually play out as supply and demand (as opposed to what we've seen through paper market games). Realize that's a long game to play, but something to think about for the grandchildren maybe.

[@edb3877]

Agreed, QS. I also stacked heavily from 2014 through 2019 and fondly remember buying ASEs and Maples for less than $16 each with a premium of $2-3 per coin. That was only a few years ago but seems to be a completely different world than we have today. Silver premiums are coming down now and have been for a while but a year or two ago, they were completely nutty, IMO. I never bought into that 50-100% premium nonsense. All I could think of then was, "How long will it take to break even on these coins?". IMO, that could take years, which means that the cash spent on those coins was "dead money" until they got above water again. I do like gold quite a lot and have a nice stack of it. I still have a goal to meet with gold, so will continue to buy when prices seem reasonable. Until prices become reasonable, however, buying some 1/4 oz. Britannias seems a good idea. My next buy will be 10 of those little hummers, which will bring my gold stack to within 30 ozs. of my gold stacking goal. 🙂

[@michaelbagnall5288]

I like the "keep the change" aspect of Silver. I have a budget. If I can't get what I want in gold for that budget, I go fractional to a point and then use the leftover for silver... sometimes. I've cooled on silver a lot since I started paying attention primarily due to the premium aspect of it. In fact, if it goes to a certain amount, I may sell to make up for some early mistakes I made with Silver.

[@2is1gold]

I used to do that all the time. What I had left when I was at the shop got me some silver. Cheers!

Depends on your location as silver is taxed heavily in the UK. According to the charts gold out performs silver on almost every time scale over the last 50 years it's also easier to keep secure and move .

[@anthonys239]

My stack ratio is about 80 to 1. But if for some reason the gold to silver ratio gap closed to about 50 to 1 I’d offload a good deal of silver for gold. 🤠

[@auntiefiat9769]

We are on the same page! I am starting to bias more toward gold now, as my Ag stack is approaching 600 pounds. Getting a little bulky!

[@edb3877]

I'm at 81:1 ATM and will be reducing this via adding more gold and perhaps selling some silver and using that cash to buy more gold. Agree on the off-loading at a particular G:S ratio. For me, that will be around 40:1 but I could see doing that at a somewhat higher G:S ratio if the prices worked out for a decent deal... such as during a time of falling gold prices and / or rising silver prices. I'm in no rush either way and consider PMs to be assets worth holding for the long run.

[@petrpalecka5932]

Great video, thank you 2is1. I made a performance analysis on investing vs buying physical metals in the past 18 years. Silver was underwhelming which was due to the high premiums. Had I bought only silver, I would get 82% of the yield of the regular bank investment, principal plus interests, which means I would also get a lower value than the principal to begin with. On the other hand, gold in various coin sizes yielded from 120 (1/10 oz) to 125% (1 oz), depending on the coin sizes. If your objective is to accumulate more metal weight while targeting the highest value, the half ounce and quarter ounce coins are the best bet. I took into account the average premiums per product as well as the market spot/melt price at for selling the metals for each individual purchase.

[@The_Argent]

I just think of gold like large bills and silver like small bills and change. I take a stack of hundreds to buy a car but only need a $20 to buy lunch

[@2is1gold]

[@linnspencer2210]

I started with silver an ounce at a time as that was all I could afford. These days I am buying gas and groceries. No metals. 😢

[@edb3877]

One can still stack in your situation, only in this case it will be an extra can of food here and there. A food stack works well. Been doing that since 2008 and am basically my own grocer. This comes in real handy during the occasional snow and ice storm when roads are incredibly slick. It's best to wait it out at home but that's much easier to do when you have the food you need in-house. Beans, rice, flour, sugar, and pasta also work well for long-term storage and discount stores like Costco and Walmart often have really good prices on such staples.

[@ewinmac3561]

I have been stacking silver (primarily) since 2009. The first 10 years were a painful learning experience. The last 4 have been rewarding. Why? Because I have learned that you can't just keep buying silver all the time. To stay profitable, you must buy silver near the bottom of a low trend. Usually these occur about once, maybe twice a year. With this being said, this is why so many stackers are underwater with their silver stack. It's simply not as fun to only buy once or twice a year. But...if you do, you will be rewarded with a profit bearing stack that will endure almost any financial situation. I also like silver because (Hahaha...) when it's "fresh" and new and shiny...I think it's prettier than gold! 🙂

[@sandmanslim4637]

I buy both personally. Gold is my long investment. Silver I buy with the hope of selling at some point if there is a run to silver, to buy more Gold. Owning both, I believe, is better than having neither. Thank you for another great video.

I was in a quandary concerning which was (overall) better for stacking . . . Gold or Silver. Then I hit upon the idea - and age-old method - for making tough decisions; I flipped a coin. Gold won!

Not only that, his calm, cool, and collective tone of voice undermines the outperformance of Silver during a precious metals bull market, especially by ignoring a 15:1 Silver to Gold ratio that is typically achieved and can be used to buy more Gold with your Silver. This guy is okay, but not that impressive!

[@jonathanarmstrong1490]

I'm new to stacking, but based on what I've seen my opinion is it's not a bad idea to accumulate both metals, silver is cheaper so it's easier to accumulate but you end up with a lot space being taken up by one metal when you could have the same value and lot less space being taken up by a few coins. Gold is more expensive but you have way more value in smaller increments. Personally I'm buying both, and if anyone has any pointers or unbiased advice I would appreciate it

Being in that 200-500 budget range a month, it is hard to pick a winner. You pay less premium for a larger silver bar, but you lose that smaller denomination you were looking for. With that same range in gold, your looking at 1/10 to 1/4 and honestly they are not hard hitting for someone starting a stack. I balance both but lean more towards gold for a stable asset. 1/10th is all I could do for gold a month.

There's nothing at all wrong with doing your best. If 1/10 oz. of gold is it, then so be it. In time, it will add up to a nice stack and is a good way to hold wealth outside the financial system. But you do need to secure it such that it is much less likely to be stolen.

Silver is simply a vehicle for trading, as a means to acquire more gold when gold-silver ratios get extreme. The history is pretty clear - silver has sucked as a buy and hold investment.

[@mahichowdhury1974]

Well I thought about the low unit cost thing that is why I'm also deciding to buy some silvers also Thanks for firming my decision ❤

Is Kitco a good source of gold price? I use it as a reference for all prices. For example, I look up the price of an ounce of gold on Kitco, then divide it by 2 or 4 or 10, whatever it is that I'm interested in, in order to figure out the real price of the piece and calculate how much the premium is. Am I doing this wrong? Any advice will be helpful. Also, using the above-mentioned method gives me a difference of about 120+€ here in Europe. That's a very high premium. I think your Gold Eagles in the US right now come at around 60-70$ Premium. Should I ask for a similar price in Euro as well? How much do the import costs matter? Sorry for so many questions, I'm new... Great videos btw!

I can certainly see a good case for at least 1000 oz of silver after that, it just gets too dang heavy. I started with silver, then I changed to gold. I'm happy with my course of action

[@BrownStain_Silver]

That song at the end of the video makes you want to invest in a gold tooth.

[@nickbolognaesq]

With those numbers in mind, and the fact that gold is up near its ATH, and silver is about at 50% of its ATH, wouldn’t silver be the smart move now as it is essentially undervalued and underperformed in the past?

Keep it up! The other channels get me whipped up to sell everything and buy more metal! I watch your channel and think….! That’s the point to think! Not react! Thanks

Gold is best for me but I just love playing around with my silver😂 I’ll stop stacking silver when I reach 400 ounces though, think that’s enough.

History is clear - Silver had 2 events when Ag spot was parabolic . . I'm waiting for the next move up & I will dump every oz of silver and apply the silver sale proceeds to my debt . . I'm keeping my gold

[@longgamestacker2122]

Totally Team Gold. I started out with silver, but it got too big, too fast. Do you think it's a good time to sell silver for gold? Maybe a video on that on the horizon? Great stuff, as always. Stay gold! 👊💥😎

[@2is1gold]

That's a tough one. I only know what I (did). Cheers!

[@JasonEyermann]

I don’t understand why someone would buy silver instead of gold. Gold performs so much better and in England there is no tax on gold as long as you buy it in coin form. I’m not sure if that’s the same rule in every country

[@jt9451]

I like the history whether or not the SP did better than paper currency in the 1920's in addition just because gold was confiscated people still had gold because it was stacked or stored in their walls.

[@MrTiger0002]

I think you are referring to only the bulk bullion gold and silver products. Not graded 'collectible' products like proofs, graded, US Mint products, etc.

[@garybiggs9010]

Silver is a better buy right now. Gold would need to drop to $1,500.00 or less before I'd start buying it.

[@shadowork_]

I like them both equally so I keep the same face value in each. 🇺🇸 🦅🇺🇲

My gold to silver stacking ratio is 100 gold to 0 silver. Maybe an oz of platinum once in a blue moon. Silver premiums even on generic are mathematically not wise hence making the silver stacking community manically depressed when a trend up gets hammered down by the CME group because of the small market size. Like a good woman, gold will always have your six. Trailer park debutants “silver” have your check book and kids. STAY GOLD PONY BOY!

I loved your video. No bias. I do silver when I can spare cash. Gold for when I come on large amounts in cash. To me, it’s a just get some of whatever. The future of the dollar vs China and Russia, very uncertain.

[@georgec5769]

I buy silver because it's more affordable and can be used for barter if the dollar collapses. Its also a safe way to preserve your wealth than keeping money in the banks. The average american cant afford gold and it wouldn't go far in bartering. If someone can afford it id either buy both, or just buy silver but id never choose gold in a either or situation unless i had over half a million

[@dont.ripfuller6587]

'better" is a loaded term. Which is better- air or water? Kind speech or back massages? Bow and arrow or blade? Car or truck? Oil or gasoline? Circles or squares? Paper or ...err, nvrmd, scratch that. You get the idea. Use case is not the same, both are better. We only use gold and scratched silver off, you'll be spread so thinly it'd be absurd. Only used silver, your stacks would be the size of rooms for some of you. Now to watch the video and see how dumb I sound for commenting before hand🤣
