I hold about 4% of my net worth in silver and gold that are accessible to me at any time (not in some depository). Some people say it's the equivalent of a pet rock...hopefully those people have plenty of food, water, and ammunition if things ever do go south in a serious way.
And yes that is a beautiful thing that you're holding there. I never bought a 100 oz bar but I did pick up a kilogram (~32 oz) one time and it made me pretty happy. I used to wait anxiously when I had shipment of gold or silver coming to me and I'd get excited every time I opened the package the day it came.
It makes more financial sense to buy larger quantities but at the time I only had so much extra money to put into it. I haven't bought as much silver or gold as I was a year or two ago but I've been thinking about buying another good chunk of silver dips down into the 15's again. I haven't really followed the price as closely lately as I've been focused on cryptos. Maybe I need start following more closely.
Now is the time to buy silver and gold. Thanks for the visit and comment.
