Anecdotally, given the wild swings in the market, a brick of .22 ammunition has been a much better investment than silver over the last couple of decades.
Full disclosure - I am NOT a financial advisor
I was on vacation traveling through rural southern Missouri back in 2014. I walked into barber shop in a little town we were passing through. This place was like Floyd’s Barber Shop in Mayberry. On the self behind the barber there were two bricks of beautiful Federal .22LRs for sale at pre-.22LR pandemic prices. I bought both bricks on the spot. Sometimes the ammo gods smile upon you.

Tell exactly that to my brother, a financial advisor for a well-known firm...”invest in previous metals, no, not gold or silver”. I look at boxes on 9mm, 5.56, etc. on the shelf here and then look at today’s online pricing. Unreal. Just yesterday a short wandering around using a searchbot showed cases of certain calibers are more than DOUBLE what they cost last year when no one knew about the incoming CCP19 virus.
