A Case For & Against Silver - Paper, page-5

Silver is a wonderful form of saving for a rainy day.  Money in the banks tend to get eaten away as its just so easy to draw down.  Shares and the market are good and I do well out of trading.  But silver is that solid part of the portfolio that you don't have to worry about or trade.

I began accumulating five kilo bars in 2002 for my super fund and in later years silver coins as a separate collection as its just there if you get crook or want to help someone in the family etc.  And the chart just clearly shows how good it is as a saving that goes up nicely over the years.
