Buying Silver as Oil Rises

Thursday 12 June 2008 @ 10:19 pm

Some may think that buying gold and silver right now is crazy. You may think that the markets are possibly on a turnaround and the dollar isn’t doing so bad. Buying precious metals at a high point would be crazy.

But what about the rest of commodities around the world? And better yet, the worlds use of those commodities.

It’s increasing, and increasing at a huge rate. China and India, named way too many times to count in this blog and similar financial blogs, are all about buying the commodities that China and India are buying and need to survive. Some of those commodities are gold and silver, which you may want to consider buying.

Buying silver now may not be the worst idea. Oil is on the rise, stocks are chaotic at best, and the dollar, although rebounding on news that the fed is done lowering rates, is still not as nearly as strong as it’s closest rivals. You need to consider the rest of the market, not just those historical indicators of the price of silver.

There are a ton more investors in the game now and with Silver ETFs gaining popularity along with all the other sector ETFs out there, you may want to think about getting into silver right now.
