10 Reasons Why Now Is The Time To Buy Silver

1. Silver Is Money

Silver has been used as money longer than anything else in the history of the world.  

Silver has served as a long term store of value for over 3,000 years making it the longest store of value ever. In the long term silver has out performed all currencies. Since 1900 physical silver and precious metals have been the best store of value. This is why the wealthy have always held onto and stored silver. The price of silver might change, but the value is always there.

Over time, paper currencies always decrease in value. This is a fact of nature. That is why physical silver and other precious metals are the best way to preserve wealth.

2. Silver Hedges The Stock Market 

Do you ever worry that the stock market might crash? 

You are not alone. investing in the stock market is not a bad thing. And in no way am I telling you to invest everything you own into silver. I myself have many real-estate investments and have money in stocks and indexed funds. What I am saying is that precious metals is the best way to hedge the other investments you might have. In fact, some of the wealthiest people in the world and billionaire hedge fund owners have been recorded as saying that they hedge their investments with silver. 

Silver is negatively correlated with the stock market and has historically done the opposite of the market. Even when the market has crashed silver have done the opposite. With silver, during a good market year you have a tangible asset that holds value. During bad market years and economic crisis you have something that protects you.

The more you invest in the stock market the more you need to be storing precious metals as security.

3. Silver Is A Tangible Asset 

Physical silver is something that you can hold in your hands. 

Precious metals withstand time, fire and water. They are real tangible assets. There is a limited amount of silver and so it has value that things like livestock, farms and other assets can't offer. Not to mention the fact that silver takes no effort to store and maintain.

Remember that silver is an asset unlike any other. Its purpose is not to get used up. It isn't like oil or livestock. Therefore, silver stores value as opposed to being another commodity.

You can't hack into silver, feed it a virus or erase it. Banks, brokerages, and cards are always at risk. Silver is never at risk of these things. 

If you are ever in a situation where the internet isn't available or the digital world goes crashing down the silver you have stored could save yours and your family's lives . 

4. Silver Has No Counterparty Risk 

With precious metals there is no middleman, no contract to uphold the value, nothing. 

The value just is. You aren't at the risk of a paper contract not being made whole. Precious metals are the only financial asset that isn't someone else's liability. 

It is super important to understand this concept. Why? Because it is silver that will be left every time a bubble bursts or a crisis hits the global economy. silver is a powerful weapon in your arsenal during economic downturn.

Never in the history of the world has silver been worth nothing. Bullion will never break its contract and leave you out to dry.

5. Silver Protects Against Crisis

Are you nervous at all about the world economy and political state? 

The uncertainty around both politics and the conflict around the global are definitely sparking the demand for silver. Why do you think that is? People want silver right now because it is protection for your lifestyle. Precious metals allow you to maintain your standard of living because it can protect as well and create a massive fortune. 

Historically, during times of systematic risk silver has increased in value as much as 25-35 percent. This happens because during crisis fear is what drives all markets. So naturally during crisis people leave stocks and other investments in droves and seek security. This then drives the price through the roof. 

As a result of the growing number of fiat currencies and global debt the negative effects of crisis are going to be much worse. This only means that silver will grow in value like never before. Keep in mind that from 1976 to 1980 silver increased 721% due to the Cold War crisis. 

6. Silver Demand At Record Highs

Governments and banks around the world are building up silver reserves. 

The Russian and Chinese central banks have increased their buying this year. China and India alone account for 50% of global silver demand. Countries are taking their silver from the U.S at an increased rate in order to have it safely within their own borders.

In the Islam culture, because of Shariah law the purchase of silver was only allowed for jewelry. However, the silver exchange council has approved investment silver to comply with the law. With a quarter of the world’s population being Muslim, this will absolutely effect the silver market. 

7. Silver Can Be Private and Confidential

Are you sick of all the intrusion? 

You almost can't do anything these days with someone knowing about it especially when it comes to your money and investing. Silver give you as an investor a lot of privacy. 

In fact, if you want to be completely anonymous about whether or not you even invest in silver you can. Know one has to know about your precious metals investments.

8. Silver Is Liquid And Portable

Silver is a pure asset that is easy to sell, trade and barter with that can fit right in your pocket.

Silver is super liquid because it holds its value. You can go to a dealer, pawn shop, collector, and they will recognize its value. Other assets like real estate, stocks, bonds, and collectibles takes days, weeks, or even months because of paperwork and other issues. Precious metals trading, bartering, and selling can be done right there on the spot. Silver is extremely convertible and portable.

9. Silver Requires No Specialized Knowledge

You don't need to be an expert to know you are holding real precious metals. 

Investing in bullion takes no skill or training. Some people buy rare precious metal coins. If you are looking for protection you aren't buying numismatic coins but instead silver bullion that you know will protect you and your other investments. You don't need rare coins to give you safety in crises and unstable markets. You simply need bullion.

Basically precious metals are “on sale.” Eventually the price will have to increase to – or surpass – the production cost. This only means great things for the investor who doesn't wait for the herd.
