      Agreed, QS. I also stacked heavily from 2014 through 2019 and fondly remember buying ASEs and Maples for less than $16 each with a premium of $2-3 per coin.
      That was only a few years ago but seems to be a completely different world than we have today. Silver premiums are coming down now and have been for a while
      but a year or two ago, they were completely nutty, IMO. I never bought into that 50-100% premium nonsense. All I could think of then was, "How long will it take to
      break even on these coins?". IMO, that could take years, which means that the cash spent on those coins was "dead money" until they got above water again. I do
      like gold quite a lot and have a nice stack of it. I still have a goal to meet with gold, so will continue to buy when prices seem reasonable. Until prices become
      reasonable, however, buying some 1/4 oz. Britannias seems a good idea. My next buy will be 10 of those little hummers, which will bring my gold stack to within
      30 ozs. of my gold stacking goal. 🙂

    I like the "keep the change" aspect of Silver. I have a budget. If I can't get what I want in gold for that budget, I go fractional to a point and then use the leftover for silver... sometimes. I've cooled on silver a lot since I started paying attention primarily due to the premium aspect of it. In fact, if it goes to a certain amount, I may sell to make up for some early mistakes I made with Silver.

    Great video, thank you 2is1. I made a performance analysis on investing vs buying physical metals in the past 18 years. Silver was underwhelming which was due to the high premiums. Had I bought only silver, I would get 82% of the yield of the regular bank investment, principal plus interests, which means I would also get a lower value than the principal to begin with. On the other hand, gold in various coin sizes yielded from 120 (1/10 oz) to 125% (1 oz), depending on the coin sizes. If your objective is to accumulate more metal weight while targeting the highest value, the half ounce and quarter ounce coins are the best bet. I took into account the average premiums per product as well as the market spot/melt price at for selling the metals for each individual purchase.

    To me, a large part of the choice is how one expects to hold them. If one intends to never sell, come hell or high prices, then I think gold is the better choice. However, if one believes that if the market offers you a gift you should take it, then silver offers more opportunity, in my view. Twice in the past 50 years, silver prices have gone on runs that easily outpaced gold. However, those who didn't accept the gift and sell their silver saw all the gains go away. Personally, I think silver has another run coming - don't know when or how high, but I do think some time within the next five years or so silver will dramatically outpace gold. If and when it does, though, I will sell every ounce and buy gold, or stocks or put a down payment on a little cabin on a lake. To me, gold is for saving, silver is for trading.

      It's not talked about the whole lot, but the industrial side for silver and the next 20 or 30 years or less, looks to show for a higher demand than what can be mined, which would see private stackers turned to by industry for what they have, which might see supply and demand actually play out as supply and demand (as opposed to what we've seen through paper market games). Realize that's a long game to play, but something to think about for the grandchildren maybe.

      I'm at 81:1 ATM and will be reducing this via adding more gold and perhaps selling some silver and using that cash to buy more gold.
      Agree on the off-loading at a particular G:S ratio. For me, that will be around 40:1 but I could see doing that at a somewhat higher
      G:S ratio if the prices worked out for a decent deal... such as during a time of falling gold prices and / or rising silver prices. I'm in
      no rush either way and consider PMs to be assets worth holding for the long run.

      One can still stack in your situation, only in this case it will be an extra can of food here and there. A food stack works well. Been doing that since 2008 and am basically
      my own grocer. This comes in real handy during the occasional snow and ice storm when roads are incredibly slick. It's best to wait it out at home but that's much easier
      to do when you have the food you need in-house. Beans, rice, flour, sugar, and pasta also work well for long-term storage and discount stores like Costco and Walmart
      often have really good prices on such staples.

When it is time to sell, it is usually an emergency. You want ease of liquidity when it is time to sell. He recommends well known bullion.

      with the more popular coins if one does not have other liquid assets to use in an emergency, so perhaps in his situation, it could be more a matter of convenience and
      a desire to make life a little easier for his heirs at a difficult to handle time.

    I have been stacking silver (primarily) since 2009. The first 10 years were a painful learning experience. The last 4 have been rewarding. Why? Because I have learned that you can't just keep buying silver all the time. To stay profitable, you must buy silver near the bottom of a low trend. Usually these occur about once, maybe twice a year. With this being said, this is why so many stackers are underwater with their silver stack. It's simply not as fun to only buy once or twice a year. But...if you do, you will be rewarded with a profit bearing stack that will endure almost any financial situation. I also like silver because (Hahaha...) when it's "fresh" and new and shiny...I think it's prettier than gold! 🙂

    Is Kitco a good source of gold price? I use it as a reference for all prices.
    For example, I look up the price of an ounce of gold on Kitco, then divide it by 2 or 4 or 10, whatever it is that I'm interested in, in order to figure out the real price of the piece and calculate how much the premium is. Am I doing this wrong? Any advice will be helpful.
    Also, using the above-mentioned method gives me a difference of about 120+€ here in Europe. That's a very high premium. I think your Gold Eagles in the US right now come at around 60-70$ Premium. Should I ask for a similar price in Euro as well? How much do the import costs matter?

Not only that, his calm, cool, and collective tone of voice undermines the outperformance of Silver during a precious metals bull market, especially by ignoring a 15:1 Silver to Gold ratio that is typically achieved and can be used to buy more Gold with your Silver.

    I can certainly see a good case for at least 1000 oz of silver after that, it just gets too dang heavy. I started with silver, then I changed to gold. I'm happy with my course of action

    I'm new to stacking, but based on what I've seen my opinion is it's not a bad idea to accumulate both metals, silver is cheaper so it's easier to accumulate but you end up with a lot space being taken up by one metal when you could have the same value and lot less space being taken up by a few coins. Gold is more expensive but you have way more value in smaller increments. Personally I'm buying both, and if anyone has any pointers or unbiased advice I would appreciate it

    Going with 1/10th ozt cuz I just want more gold. Prolly will keep the diversity at the same(equal values in silver, gold, & plat).

Everything else from my budget goes into gold.

  • @matthewbilello2520
    @matthewbilello2520 Год назад +3

    Being in that 200-500 budget range a month, it is hard to pick a winner. You pay less premium for a larger silver bar, but you lose that smaller denomination you were looking for. With that same range in gold, your looking at 1/10 to 1/4 and honestly they are not hard hitting for someone starting a stack. I balance both but lean more towards gold for a stable asset. 1/10th is all I could do for gold a month.

      There's nothing at all wrong with doing your best. If 1/10 oz. of gold is it, then so be it. In time, it will add up to a nice stack and is
      a good way to hold wealth outside the financial system. But you do need to secure it such that it is much less likely to be stolen.

      Historically, selling bars have been harder. Now with dealers getting proper precious metals scanners, it's less of an issue... as long as you're selling to a dealer. To me, it's simply about coins being a bit more liquid. Cheers!

    Even if its clear that gold performs better than silver, let me say a word if you are reading this comment and you are a newbie like me: at the beggining of your stacking journey you will find the gold kind of unreachable and maybe you will feel that its a lot of money for such a tiny fractional coin,... specially if you are in a budget (again, like me). Then go grab a couple of 25€/30€ silver ounces and start learning and feeling the value of it. Sooner than you think you will be ready for some gold.
    This is me: a half year journey and quite proud about my 25 ounces of beautiful silver and my 11 grams of gold. Still learning where, when and how,... but for me this is my little pirates chest!
