What Other Silver Stackers Won't Talk About

In this video I talk about some of the things that other silver stackers won't talk about or don't like talking about. I AM A SILVER STACKER AND ENJOY BUYING SILVER. This video I am just highlighting some things that you might not be aware of because other silver stacking youtube channels rarely talk about these things. Some of the things that other silver stackers don't like to talk about is the fact that when you buy silver you are usually losing money if you have to sell right away. Another thing that Silver Stackers don't like to talk about is their cost average for their silver stack especially if it is over $20 per ounce. My personal cost average is lower than that, but it is common for stackers who have been stacking over the last 10 years to have a high cost average per ounce. My hope for this video is not to offend any silver stackers or silver stacking youtube channels, but to offer up information that some stackers might not be aware of.

[@deehorrex9292]

There are a number of ways you can benefit while stacking, here is one I like. I walked into my local coin stores wanting to buy constitutional silver. After finding the dealer that sells closest to spot I took out my money and made my purchase. In our conversation I made mention I was a stacker planting my intentions. Upon my completion I made sure to let the dealer know I'd be back next week for more. The following week, the same day of the week, I entered the store and said hi, remember me? We started talking and I made my purchase, always constitutional silver. Just like the first time while saying good bye I said, thank you..see you next week. Again just like the times in the past I walked into the shop, the same day of the week and said hi and started a conversation. This went on for a number of months when I asked when it came time to pay if I could have a discount. To my delight I got one. This indicated my supplier was pleased with me and had interest in my returning to buy more. What most stackers fail to realize is, having a relation with a seller is important to your bottom line. My supplier now knows that on this day of the week between this hour I will walk into his shop with the same amount of money to spend. I am now an anchor client, on he can depend on and based on my habit can make projected purchases.

[@DimeDigger]

I really don't like this mindset. Sure, an ounce of gold is way up there but who said you had to buy your gold an ounce at a time? 1/2 gram gold bars are an option...albeit with quite the premium.

You're very right about people being underwater on Silver. I sadly bought when silver was spiking in 2010-11. I've managed to get my average per ounce price down over the years, but I'm still a shade over 20. Silver is the worst investment vehicle around....until, you get a crisis. then Silver kicks in as an insurance policy. But if you want a return on investment...I'd say, invest in dividend-paying stocks and some real estate...save cash in gold. Stack some silver, but pray you never need to use it.

You have some great points about loosing money.

I'm a fairly new stacker, but I noticed one thing right away. Patience and the ability to resist buying is as important as any other factor. Just in the past month, there has been a lot of price activity, but I wanted to see if there would be a trend, and even though I've spent on some spot/close to spot deals, I'm buying small amounts to test the waters. Just this past week silver has dropped quite a bit, and right on Black Friday, It appears as we may get closer to 20 dollar-an-ounce silver on Cyber Monday! I'm glad I didn't buy a large amount 2 weeks ago, when I did buy a couple of small pieces. I wanted to see how the service was with a couple online dealers. They passed the test and if silver drops below 20, I'll buy some more. I want to have enough silver to live on for a few months - just in case, and I do plan on supplementing my IRA and 401k with gold and silver. I like the fact that I can hold it in my hands. Who doesn't love the feel of silver and gold in the bare hands? Again, my thanks to Silver Dragons, who's been my online guru these past months.

A spot price is the fluctuating market price for an asset bought or sold on commodity exchanges contracted for immediate payment and delivery. The spot price of silver is determined by the forward month’s futures contract with the most volume. At times this contract can be the current month or it might be two or more months out in time.”

[@SilverDragons47]

Blackcrow I think that it’s slightly more complicated than that, but I will say that futures do seem to have an effect for sure 🔥🐉

[@depthbrewedrollers.8793]

Awesome information. I would like add about the 1000. You suggested to have in cash. The real amount to have in cash, aside from your regular income is “your brake even number” times 6. Here’s the quick math to find your brake even number: add all your basic needs for a month to total a dollar amount, plus rent, car note, phone bill, insurance etc. and multiply by 6. This is the amount you need to keep securely stashed somewhere in case shtf. This amount should follow you for the rest of your life. Only until amassing this amount you should consider investing or playing with your cash.

[@Ziegen-Sauger]

Great video Mr. Dragon, thnx for bringing the topic to the table. My own personal case: I am a small professional investor, so investing to profit is my work. Gold (a monetary precious metal) is a small part of it, Platinum (a commodity) is also a small part of it. Silver (a commodity that almost behaves like a precious metal) is not part of it. Silver is passion, addiction and opportunity. Silver/Gold ratio is a reference. It is interesting how much stackers take it as dogma. It is not an index, it is not a driver, it is just something to help you when you will take a decision. I have a small database of each one of my rounds, bars, coins. I know exactly how much my stack is worth,what is my net profit or loss, etc. I have exchanged silver for gold and is one of my things. However this is where my investor mindset probably helps: those numismatic, high premium, or high valuation items like the Perth Swans, whenever I have a subset f my stack where I can see clear profit/valuation, if I can get what I want in gold I do not think twice. The challenge is the amount of emotion stackers put into their plans. Possibly related to the expectation of a FIAT collapse, zombie apocalypse or other preper related catastrophe. For me holing an Eagle in my hands is a feeling second to none. This is why I collect them. For sure it will be something I will gift to grandkids or similar when time comes, but finding that 1890 Spanish Bullion as large as a 2 Oz Perth Lunar, grabbing Queen Beasts and Britannias, this new Germania series, it is a lot more than the cash value. I dare to say for whomever wants to hear: do not expect to see Silver a $100 per Oz, not today, not ever. We will have sudden but temporary spikes. Those are the times we should not think and sell. For the example mentioned with the Philharmonics, that was a sellers market ,NEVER one should buy Silver at $30 per Oz. Actually, I think a lot when buying an Oz for any over $19, this is why I go for the collectibles mostly. My personal interpretation is that us stackers are expecting too much from Silver, something won't happen certainly in the next 10 years

[@charliedee9276]

I like the look and history of constitutional silver, it's cool holding in my hand something that has been around for 80-100 years. I buy it when I can just to stash, I do buy gold and palladium also. All strictly for long term, I don't trust banks. The gold has done good for me, I started buying it in 2000 when it was around $260 an oz, I bought quite a bit then on the advice of my dad. Good move considering it's at $1481 as I type this.

[@SilverDragons47]

charlie dee wow you have done very well on gold! I like the junk as well 👍🏽🔥🐉

[@jay-rus4437]

When I first started stacking I bought and sold numismatics to help reduce my cost basis. I have my tubes of silver marked with the cost average for each tube, but once I figure in my profits from numismatics my cost basis is around $13 per oz or so. Only have about 350oz right now. Im now stacking with a set purchase on Monday of each week. Every monday evening I get to place my order, and every week I get to open up a nice package of shiny silver 😁

16.00 an ounce? True but now at 26.00 and change. There is risk in all investments but physical silver will always be worth something as opposed to fiat paper or silver paper in a government bank somewhere. Good video.

My first silver Eagles cost $9.00, I kept buying up to $42.00. I was still working so was thinking long term. As the silver cost dropped, I thought it wouldnt go as far as it has or stay this low for so long. The gain or loss comes at the time of sale, so still not selling just yet, but someday.

[@mnesbitt100]

11:50--The G/S Ratio was briefly at 31 in April 2011. That was a crazy week. Silver was up to $49+ and then it crashed.

You’re absolutely correct! 🤘🤑🤘

[@FinnishArmy]

Currently, I'm at 41oz and I'm up by a little over $100 if I were to sell it all right now. But I'm planning to keep buying. Silver for me is a hobby more than an investment, once I need the money 10-15-20 years from now, then I'll be selling. I sold 3 oz a couple days ago just to test out how easy it would actually be to sell my stack.

As I write this silver is $26.92 I buy when it's high when it's low in the middle I bought a lot when it was like 12.90 an ounce last year still buying when it's 26.92 just not as much it'll all even out I'm sure it'll be more than $27 in 20 or 30 years when I sell. I enjoy your videos

[@Aj-ng6vm]

Im one of the oddball stackers. I still buy at the lowest premium I can for obvious reasons but I dont really care about market value going up or down. Im not buying to sell. Im one of those people that see the record breaking inflation as a sign of a economic collapse of some kind. Like the USD bottoming out. Silver and gold is my hedge against that. If you can no longer buy the things you need in cash people are typically willing to trade goods and services for precious metals. the way I see it if the worse happens and we have a collapse ill be able to provide for my family. if it never happens then my children get some gold and silver when Im gone. so its a win win

[@FloEvans]

lol I started getting into silver coins around 2011 because that's when my first kid was born. Only thing that saved me from being totally upside down was buying a special 25th anniversary set that has doubled in value.

[@tomhensley3947]

Great video! Question: Can you talk about silver cleaning? (or not!) I'm new to silver stacking and I love having the shiny rounds and bars in my collection, but there is a lot of negative talk about any coins that have been cleaned. "ruins their value" I don't see how this is true if we are buying just for the silver ounces in our stack. Thoughts?

It’s kind of like stocks. You buy in believing that it will hold its value if not go up. It’s a gamble but less of one than stocks.

[@luciengraves6452]

Josh Cravens Less than stocks? Since 2009 the stock market has more than doubled. Furthermore, stocks pay very good dividends as well. Silver was 14.67 an ounce in 2009. 1,000 dollars invested in the stock market would be worth well over 2500 dollars today. 1,000 in silver invested in 2009 is worth a mere 1150 dollars. If you invested the stock dividends in silver, you could have doubled your money and still have about 25 ounces of silver.

[@budgetbullionstacker1950]

Less of a gamble than stocks in a sense that stocks value can drop to $0. Silver will never be worth zero in my opinion.

[@budgetbullionstacker1950]

Also I’m not saying not to invest in stock either. There are many good stocks to get involved in. People always misinterpret what I say

[@SilverDragons47]

Josh Cravens I believe the price will fluctuate but the value remains somewhat constant 👍🏽🔥🐉

[@saddle8bag]

The difference is, good businesses make money which makes them more valuable in a stable economy. Metals increase in value as currencies devalue. As what's about to happen here shortly in a big way.

[@histeve1110]

20 is my magic number too. I figure if I can buy at less than 20 an ounce, I’ll eventually do well with that. For new stackers, even with spot over 16, it’s still a good time to buy generic with low premiums and constitutional. And there are still good deals to be found on recent date govt-backed bullion. Good luck 👍

[@raginggamer2109]

I'm new. About two months stacking. Up to 40oz now. Will continue to buy until its hits $20, actually slow down. Will sell half when it hits $50 save that money and buy again when it crashes. Hope that tactic works

I talk about all these things within my circles. You haven’t said anything wrong.

I’m hoping it was just an insurance policy that was never collected on.

That's everything in a nutshell. I still remember drinking with friends and my friends back in 2004 and I had conversations about dropping $1000 on bitcoin.
