i think.... if you own gold, practically speaking in the worst case, making change at the register will be rather difficult. u buy a 1/2 oz price worth of rice but you have a 1 oz gold coin. so the chick says, ok. she gets out the bolt cutter, but she hasn't received her approved wt scale to make sure she cuts a gold eagle correctly into two wings. you pull out your gun, she pulls out her shot gun, you agree to disagree, she sells no rice, and you don't have anything to eat. i'm sure............in fact i'm certain.............. what i'm saying is utter bullshit. but on the other hand........... some pure silver centavos wold make that exchange soooooooooooooooooooooo much easier. so why not. part deux.................. silver is also an industrial piece of shit as well. i.e. a market that also affects the price. but... fuck... if nobody needs it for product... then it is an investment. get what i mean. buy silver to make change, and worst case.. give it to the kids by melting it down, making works of art, that will sell for millions in a new york gallery in 100 years. exposition theme: Silver From The Second Depression. just be practical dude. but watch the demand side on silver from the economics of it. i think its depressed just like gold. for the right reasons as a metal. i dont' give a shit about the industrial reasons at the moment. but silver is less finite. so it has a two headed market sword to which you must keep in mind. that's all i got.
