24 Hour spot price charts at right for reference ONLY.

SILVER
Currently the gold/silver ratio is approx. 51:1 which according to historical pricing makes silver a great buy.

I'm looking for a ratio of approximately 20:1-25:1 before I CONSIDER trading SOME of my silver position into gold AND/OR another under-valued asset IF I find something worth trading into.

The 'Historical' ratio is approximately 15-16:1 & some believe we will see the ratio go to 10:1 or lower.

BUY SILVER IN BAR OR COIN FORM WHILE PRODUCT IS STILL AVAILABLE AT THESE LOW PRICES.

One of the best buys on silver is bags of 1964 & earlier US coinage (Sometimes referred to as 90% or 'Junk' silver):

90% Silver US Coinage can be found in 1964 & earlier Mercury(Winged Liberty), & Roosevelt Dimes, Standing Liberty & Washington Quarters, & Walking Liberty, Franklin, & Kennedy Half Dollars.

After 1964 the only circulated US Coins that contain silver are 1965-1969 Kennedy Half Dollars and these have a total silver content of 40% fine silver.

The term "Junk Silver" came about to signify that the silver coinage does not have any numismatic (Collectible) value. There is nothing "Junk" about owning silver in this form as it is one of the most cost effective ways to own silver.

Minimum order on 90% silver coinage is $500 face or 357.5 ounces. Minimum order on 1965-1969 silver halves is $1,000 face or 295 ounces.

A BALANCED PRECIOUS METALS POSITION:

I like the following mix of precious metals primarily as a WEALTH PROTECTOR and also with the potential to increase one's wealth:

Gold: 50%, Silver: 35%, Palladium: 10%, Platinum: 5%

The above allocation has produced a gain (Unrealized if the metals are still held), of approx. $72,035 (72%) with an initial purchase of $100,000. A $10,000 purchase of the above mix of metals produces a gain of $7,200.

Gain based upon 1/1/10 closing spot prices to most recent closing spot prices quoted in my 'Precious Metals Market Update' at top of page.

MINIMUM BUY FOR GOLD IS 10 OUNCES OF SAME ITEM.


MINIMUM BUY FOR SILVER IS 150 OUNCES OF SAME ITEM.
