Investors: Is the silver train worth jumping on?

[Earth_First]

I've been watching silver for about a year now come June when silver could be had for $9-10/ounce.

Should we jump on?

1. retail

retail tends to buy the highs, sell the low

silver was an awesome buy in the 7-9 range

now?

um. no

could get higher but the risk/reward is not compelling

gold, likewise was compelling 300-400 and offered some nice entries in the 500's and 700's

2. wouldn't hurt to do it in a small way, at least

1 oz medallions could come in handy because of their intrinsic value. They will trade for food when paper dollars won't.

3. when you don't want to give up gold

The gold is for when it's time to leave

4. My husband bought some gold and silver on Monday

and the price of both have risen enough to pay the shipping costs.

5. You're going to need something beyond US dollars.

What that is I don't know.
