Welcome to our channel where we delve into the fascinating world of investments. In this video, we discuss why silver may not be the ideal investment option when compared to gold. While silver has its own merits, we aim to shed light on the practical challenges associated with its storage, shipping, and cumbersome weight.
Investing in precious metals is a popular strategy for diversifying portfolios and protecting wealth. Gold has long been considered a reliable and highly valued asset, often dubbed the “king of metals.” However, some investors are drawn to silver due to its lower price point. While affordability can be appealing, it’s essential to understand the potential drawbacks before making a decision.
One of the primary concerns with silver as an investment is the issue of storage. Silver’s lower value means you need a significantly larger volume to hold the same value as gold. This bulkier nature poses practical challenges, as storing large quantities of silver can become cumbersome and require additional space. Moreover, ensuring the security and safety of a large silver collection may incur additional costs and logistical difficulties.
Another drawback is the shipping aspect. If you decide to relocate or sell your silver holdings, the weight of silver can become a significant hurdle. Transporting large quantities of silver can be logistically complex, especially if you aim to move it across long distances or internationally. The costs and risks associated with shipping can eat into potential gains, making it less convenient compared to gold.
Furthermore, the cumbersome weight of silver can also make it less liquid compared to gold. Liquid assets are easily tradable and have high market demand, allowing investors to quickly convert them into cash. Due to the sheer volume and weight of silver, it may be more challenging to find buyers and execute transactions promptly, potentially impacting your ability to capitalize on market opportunities efficiently.
While silver has its place in certain investment strategies, it’s important to consider the practical challenges it presents. This video aims to provide valuable insights into the issues of storage, shipping, and cumbersome weight associated with silver as an investment. Make informed decisions based on your investment goals and risk tolerance, keeping in mind the practical considerations discussed here.

What if the real value of silver is one to one with gold?
I mean silver and gold don't have risk or reward so they aren't an investment yet gold is certainly insurance as silver is certainly savings
What's your thoughts about platinum 🤔 I have been hitting the gold for awhile now and some silver when I get it a good price
If you are in the UK – DO NOT BUY SILVER. Got it?!
Many ounces of home goods like furniture or books to you have to move. As for "running away in the moment with silver bars". Train with weight belts and strap the silver bars to your body. Lol. Of course if you had to flee in the moment you'd take the bag of gold. Your lovely high premium proofs would be screwed though, if you wanted to keep the fancy boxes and COAs.
Argument for the younger viewers to start organising thier lives so they can stack children, whom by the time they've grown their stack, they can rely on trusted hands to move that stack. Well so long as they haven't been brain washed by the school system into antagonists within the family unit. Good luck with the move.
I's just send it to you, and leave my contact details 😁
