I don’t think it is a bad idea to have some junk silver on hand.
How much is the issue. I would feel much better if I had more. Maybe 10% of your liquid assets in silver?
I started buying when it was $7 an ounce, and more at $15, but stopped when it shot up to $45.
The guy in the interview had ALL his investments converted to junk silver.
I don’t think I want to live that way - “hunkered down”, so to speak, waiting for the crash.
But, I think 5-10% of your total assets in metals is a good idea. Dirt is another good investment.
