Simple answer: YES. In addition to being sound MONEY, which is universally recognized, silver (in contrast to gold) is an industrial commodity with many uses, especially electronics and related fields. As a result, although it exists in much greater quantities than gold, it is also consumed, whereas most of the gold mining since the dawn of time is still with us. We will always need more silver, and that results in market forces quite different from gold. Bottom line, gold & silver will hold their value relative to phony government money, and when the phone money collapses, the silver & gold will still be around. That's what we're really talking about when we predict the metals prices will soar eventually.
