Physical silver is a long-term safe haven

It is not a secret that silver is much better long-term investment than gold. This is attributed to the more diversified use of the white metal, its current low price and optimistic future prognosis. Investing in silver futures for the short term has certain risks which could be positive or negative – almost like gambling. If you are a safe-player investor type, than consider the physical silver investment opportunities. Bearing in mind that the long-term takes an extend of more than five years, placing cash assets into physical silver is a step which is positively proven by several factors and has almost no risk. In September 2011, the metal’s price soared to $50 and analysts still speculate with that data. The significant here is that this bullish market then, was not a tendency, but a single day phenomenon and it affected only the contracts for future delivery. On the physical silver market the traders were purchasing silver at about $35 per ounce while selling the commodity at $50 per ounce. It is important to stay calm and think in perspective, because one-day events are called incidents and they mean nothing to the long term period where the physical silver rules. Firm evidence can be found in stable market factors that benefit the silver bullion prices trough the future periods. A growing need of the global industry will always support the physical silver price as securities cannot be used for water purification, solar-power generation, coin emissions, specialized medicine and other important sectors.

Jim Rogers: Silver is a better buy Than Gold

Jim Rogers: On a historic basis, silver is cheaper than gold. Gold is down 10 or 15 percent from its all-time high. Silver is down 30 or 40 percent. So I guess I'd rather buy silver than gold. I'm buying neither at the moment. But if I had to, I'd probably buy silver today rather than gold. But again, I'm not buying or selling either.

Jim Rogers: I own gold and I own silver I'm not selling, by any stretch But I'm not buying now

Jim Rogers: I own gold and I own silver. I own all the precious metals, especially gold and silver. I'm not sure I would buy right now. Gold has gone up 12 years in a row, which is extremely unusual for any asset, at least in my experience. I don't know any asset that's gone up 12 years without a down year except gold. Gold has had only one decline over 30 percent in those 12 years. That, too, is extremely unusual.
Plus, if you look at the open interest from the CFTC, the speculators have been piling into gold. The number of call options is more than twice the put options. All the signs are that there's too much speculation in gold right now.
I'm not selling, by any stretch. I own it. If it goes down, I'll buy more. If America bombs Iran, I'll probably buy more going up. But I own it and, over the longer term, gold is going to go much higher because the world is doing nothing but printing money. And when the world economies get bad again, they're going to print even more money. But I'm not buying now.
