New Coin Addition

Owning physical silver, either as coins or bullion, is a psychologically and emotionally satisfying way to invest in silver. You have possession of it and can use it, if necessary. And in some cases, it’s actually relatively easy to access. ​if the price of silver rises, you can make a profit on silver coins and bullion, but that’s the only way you’ll make money here, since the physical commodity does not produce cash flow, unlike a quality business.

​

Silver futures are an easy way to wager on the rising or falling price of silver without any of the hassles of owning physical silver. You could even take physical delivery of the silver, though that’s not the typical motivation of those speculating in the futures markets.

​

Here are some of the most important reasons:

• Returns: Over certain periods of time silver has outperformed highly regarded asset classes such as stocks.

• A store of value: Silver can hold its value and even gain over time, providing a way for investors to generate profits.

• Liquidity: Silver is generally a liquid market, and if you’re buying certain kinds of silver assets, they’re highly liquid.
