I started purchasing silver in 2004 and paid roughly 5 dollars and ounce for it. I continued to buy 20 stacks of silver eagles until the price hit around 15 an oz. I sat on it through 2011 when we finally seen silver valued decently at around 45 dollars but it was very short lived. I still believe that silver will be an extremely valuable commodity and is one of the easiest hard assets to acquire at this time.
