Silver: The Other Precious Metal

My pennyworth. Cautious people who say buy physical gold and silver, and who don't like paper assets were amongst those saying "buy property: you can't go wrong with bricks and mortar." Well, if they're happy living in their brick pile and not thinking of selling, and can afford any mortgage they've got; that's fine, and enjoy your gold coins and silver ingots, with no hassle from me. I like to trade, and storing gold bars and barrels of oil, taking them down the market when I want to sell, is not really practical! So, I buy paper versions of precious metals, oil et al, that I can sell at any time, and hopefully take a profit on. This keeps markets liquid, making trading that much easier, which benefits all; not just the traders. Each to his own, and good luck to all!
