Silver Stackers
 

Any silver stackers, collectors, or investors around here besides me?

Re: Silver Stackers
 

Yep, absolutely, in all metals.

Re: Silver Stackers
 

What is a silver stacker? If you are investing in metals than yes.

Re: Silver Stackers
 

Haven't gotten into platinum or platinum yet... Have you had much luck?

Re: Silver Stackers
 

I've been thinking about buying some silver. I'm not quite sure where and what to buy. Do you invest in bars or coins?

Silver stacker checking in :)

Re: Silver Stackers
 

I'm a big fan of bars only because I like to make larger purchases. I would recommend starting with coins like American silver eagles and Canadian maple leaves.

Re: Silver Stackers
 

Good to hear brother. What do you like to stack?

Re: Silver Stackers
 

A mixture of 1oz generic silver bars/rounds. I buy Silver Eagles here and there, but hate how you pay a premium on them. Generic stuff works for me. How about you?

Re: Silver Stackers
 

I started with a lot of generic 1ozs, moved to mostly eagles (had a dealer near me that only asked .50 over for them, now stick to mostly 10oz and 100oz name brand bars.

Re: Silver Stackers
 

Do you buy local or online? If online, where?

Re: Silver Stackers
 

Done very well in Palladium, bought in around 240/oz, its tripled since, and I still recommend palladium. Eventually China will need to start putting pollution controls on everything from cars to factories and Palladium will be needed in quantity. And there isn't much of it to start with.

Platinum is at a high point, and the noble metals are pretty interchangeable for pollution controls, so I wouldn't buy in to Platinum now.

Rhodium is historically very, very low at current prices and an excellent investment if you can get into a rhodium pool (rare), get rhodium sponge (rarer) or rhodium bars (rarest). They are harder to sell at their peak, however.

Of course, this is all simply opinion and not intended to be investment advice! :r

The best online place is APMEX.com I also buy from ebay when I find a deal, but mostly from a local coin shop by my house and on the Equipment Exchange on AR15.com

Re: Silver Stackers
 

Another stacker checking in. A mix of junk silver an pure rounds and bars.

Re: Silver Stackers
 

I occasionally sell with no premium, maybe Ill start asking here in case there are any interested parties. Never thought about posting about silver on a cigar forum!

I have purchased from APMEX before, they are recommended.

Re: Silver Stackers
 

Been looking at Apmex for a little bit. It looks like that is where I will start the silver journey. Thanks for the heads up guys!

Just started about a month ago. I have a place by my house that charges Spot + 10%.

Re: Silver Stackers
 

That's not bad depending on what your buying. Is that for 1oz coins?

Re: Silver Stackers
 

I just bought one of these: http://www.silvertowne.com/p-19300-s...ilver-bar.aspx

I had to have it because I like the hand poured look.
