"A stock can go to zero...silver, gold or any commodity for that matter will ALWAYS have value... "

True, but anyone who would put all of their money into one or a few companies (or even countries IMO) is gambling, not investing. I have stock in 100's of companies (via ETFs Mutual Funds and ADRs), my largest single holding makes up only .78% of all my assets.

So basically unless the world fails, it's not going to go to 0 and if the world does fail, I would have been better invested in ammunition.
