its an apple to orange comparison when u compare investing in silver with stocks!
silver is purely a speculative commodity and taking adv as a poor brother to gold! but the question is till when?:annoyed:
just compare it by urself when you talk of investing!
will silver produce anything? no! it is dead as dodo! but owning stocks is a direct participation in corporate productivity! so more productivity, higher eps & stock prices. in short compounding in its true sense in years to come! ok - did i forget dividends!
2ndly, take an example of 2 investors! investor 1 one who has all the silver in this world which is siting dead as dodo in his house! investor 2 who has equivalent cash to all the silver value of investor 1! so at present they have equal worth of money! now investor 2 with the cash will buy best shares of companies available across economies!
what do you think - who will be richer in next 10-15 years? ok - did i forget dividends again in case of stocks!
