I really don't care if silver is up or down. I just like owning it.

No one says anything about a $40,000 car parked on the street but worry about hiding 10,000 silver Go figure

If anyone is worried about heavy your silver is, I'll be happy to store it for you.

No one has ever said "Shit... I have a pile of worthless silver" XD

when i was a kid back in early 70s we had a oil shortage and i never forgot hundreds of cars in line for each pump .... except for 1 line which had a sign but no line. The sign said "Silver Dimes ONLY 1 gallon of gas." Never forgot that.

Right now in Venezuela, 1 oz of silver buys 6 months worth of food.

Having some silver and gold is a good idea, but make sure you are investing in the other two precious metals--guns and ammo!

As we say in my country “When the property is yours it is never too heavy to carry”😉 Thank you for the video👍

I stack gold and silver , i am barely middle class and can afford to buy 10% worth of my annual income precious metals , i dont buy bigger than 1/4 oz gold rounds , or silver 10oz bars , i wont sell unless its life or death, and will be prepared for an economic collapse or whatever.

I stacked 300 oz of silver in my first year, and quickly realized that stacking beyond a monsterbox, 500oz was not so practical, because I have a nomadic lifestyle in the present (outside shtf scenarios), and therefore it is wiser to move from place to place with compact gold. I relocated my home this year, and the safety of my silver during transport was something notable.

The Silver /Gold Ratio is about 84-85 to one. That means you can buy 85 oz of silver for one oz of gold. Then you can sit back and wait for the ratio to fall. In 2008, the Ratio went to about 40. At that point, take your silver back to the coin shop and buy 2 oz of gold. Granted, you have to pay premiums, but even then, you are ahead and you took zero risk

Just look at it as savings

Ammo cans. Military surplus ammo tins hold the weight of silver very well (since they were designed to hold lead ammunition) and they stack great in a large safe. You can easily get 500oz in a 50cal ammo can. And with that you could carry 1000oz to the car at a time, if you are worried about bug-out and portability. Not to mention ammo cans are air-tight, so add a silica pack and less moisture means reduced tarnishing.

You are 100% spot on about silver. Carrying that pile of silver when the music stops is not gonna be mission impossible. That's why I choose gold over silver.

If you are little tired of silver s upression take some time off of stacking....and enjoy yourself but don't sell your silver....thats what the elites are hoping for...they are trying to shake out PM investors

A man named William Cooper who wrote the book Behold a Pale Horse who was only wrong one time in his entire life said these words. "JP Morgan & Company who have the most above-ground physical silver in the world will crash the metals market and people will panic and they will sell all of their silver whether it be physical or on the market, and then they will buy it all back for pennies on the dollar". Hold on to your physical silver because you are hedging against the dollar and the dollar will collapse just like Venezuela and every other civilization that had paper currency, they all collapsed, all you have to do is look at history and learn from it. Keep buying silver in fractional increments and 1 oz to 2 oz coins or bars maximum, there's not much you can do with a kilo bar. Silver is for one thing and one thing only, to barter and trade goods when you can't buy anything with Monopoly money. In the meantime just admire its beauty

Stock market and money crashes are not what will drive up silver prices. Technology demand for this metal and expensive mining cost will.

A very good video putting years of stacking into a practical reality. Thank you.

Conversely, whilst silver isn't as portable in an emergency, you couldn't easily barter for low value goods with gold without seriously overpaying (assuming people would actually barter for precious metals).

I am stacking silver, but only because I like to play with it at times. I am not stacking for investment. I will likely pass this to my kids or grandkids.

Complete agree. I'm fairly new to staking but had quite a bit of money to put into PMs and quickly got up to 500oz (mix of bars and brit tubes). I'm stopping there and have moved onto gold, have 5oz and looking to increase over the next few years. From my short time in the game I'd say silver stacking is way more enjoyable due to the amazing pieces and frequency you can purchase but gold is way more economical in size, investment and as a store of value.

500 oz cap for me, then going gold

10% my savings in precious metals. Half in physical gold, since the creeps can outlaw it again and half in silver, since it holds it's value and won't be outlawed because of all the industrial applications it's needed for.

Great video my friend. That is A LOT of silver indeed and you make some great points about why it might not be a good idea to buy that much. The weight is one I used in my vid asking the question about when do you have TOO much silver. Well thought about. Always good to reevaluate why we stack and how we stack. Thanks for sharing.

Who gives a shit how heavy it is - if an event happens you pay someone a few ounces to carry it for you.

I have just started buying silver and I’m leaning toward buying in fractional amounts. I’m interested specifically Valcambi silver and gold. I understand I’m paying a premium for the amounts I’m buying but I’m stacking for a SHTF scenario. Also good point on talking about the transport of your silver.

I’m back! I have a friend that has been stacking for ten years so he has now accumulated over 4400 ounces of silver ! It can be moved in 15 minutes.

Correction the Dollar will never collapse its stamped on your 1oz American Eagles and other Countries Coins. The Federal Reserve NOTES with Dollar on their paper will.

I think Gold and Silver as a Good store of Wealth and time has proved it! The stack is our insurance Policy in retirement...along with some other items...would love to pass it down...but if things get hard will part with some or most of it to live fairly well...store in at least 5 Different places. Good topic my friend.:)))

Ive probably stacked about 350 oz so far this yr and have been stacking for a number of yrs now . Recently i have started to diversify a little towards gold either way i my personal OPINION stacking is the way to go .

Spot on on points I intend to move some silver on for gold when the price is right of course but until then it's silver And yet again another great order from the forum 👍

I'v been buying Gold & Silver for 18 years and people talking about "how well silver is doing" are out of their minds. I've hardly seen a great increase in my silver stack. Gold on the other hand is a different matter entirely. £380 an ounce coin now £1500... Silver won't ever compete with that even if scientists declared it as a cure to Coronavirus. Stack in the shinny yellow stuff people. Silver is ok. Gold is incredible. That's the difference.

I got a easy solution just liquidate you’re silver for gold and now You have a quarter of the weight space and metals same value

I got 2 monster boxes of Maple Leaf for just US$20000 when the spot price was around $18. Hard to imagine you spent $7000 more for just 200 oz. when the spot price was significant lower then.

I bought 3500 oz silver (1 oz silver eagles) and 64 oz 1 oz gold eagles since end of Aug 2018. Stand pat you will be rewarded.

After reading all of the replys that you received, I think you got the response that you were after! Getting people to think about there buying strategy 😁

I turned a pantry into a secret room and I installed a 200 gallon fish tank in front of it good luck emptying the tank in time for the police to be at the location, and if they smash the tank they will be swimming... 😂

30% over spot? Damn!! I'm glad I'm here in America. I pay $1.05 over spot.

I use silver as a savings account. At my old bank I got 2% a year but with silver I’ll likely get far more than that

Bugout? Bugout where? Melt your silver into your diesel truck chassis and paint over it lol

Gold and Silver is amazing to get right now

I still love the Perth mint dragon bars. I will have to pick some more up. I am still going to be buying silver just because if is fun to stack. Even if the market isn’t the best.

I'm a stacker and agree that over time, one could wind up with several drawers full of heavy Silver. Had I approximately $27k to invest in precious metals, I'd likely invest a good $20k of it in Gold as it'll take up less space and despite the fact that Gold is heavy, my "stack" would weigh considerably less if most of it were in Gold.

Can not wait to see you give the other side.

One good way to secure precious metals is to not tell anyone you have precious metals.

You’re right, there is a huge difference between euro stackers and American stackers. We don’t run in the USA

Thank you for your common sense and practical approach to owning silver.

Great video with some interesting points, good job I am far away from 1200oz but I will take this video into consideration 🤙😀

I have possibly half of that amount of silver, and it is heavy, but I don't carry this all day around with me. Stacking this in a save vault somewhere, is the way to go. Keep maybe a few coins on hand to run with, if need be. No, that pile is a sight for sore eyes. Acquire the metal first, and worry about how to store it later.

The area that I am moving to in Europe has a 40% tax on silver. So gold is what I will have to stack for a while.

You Sir, are a genius... I bought the same thing... in 2012!

By far the most honest say from a stacker. Thanks, backyard you made me realize my mistake sooner.

Platinum stacker, here. When fiat currency fails, its better to be safe! Good job!

My goal is to have 1000oz of silver and then rest in gold

It's so addictive buying silver! I cannot bring myself to sell it and it's high right now and they are repeats of what I already have

Good information, thanks for the video

It's not so much the holding of silver that is smart, but the holding of USD that is stupid.

Not a good investment; but a great hedge against inflation

Just recently got involved in the "silver trade" I have a very meager collection... And I was listening while conversing with a reseller he heard speculation that silver prices could potentially dip into the $10/oz range sometime soon. Well it's in the $14.50's last time I checked and figured it was time to jump on the "silver trade-train"

Cannot speak for the UK, but in the USA, lead metal is what you will need to stack up on, NOT Silver, and in an apocalyptic situation only land to grow food and livestock and guns to fend off unwanted guests is considered sound investing.

YES ANYONE WHO DOESN'T WANT THEIR SILVER I WILL GLADLY TAKE IT

Never selling silver for fiat currency. I stack in terms of direct tradeability. I have everything from grams to kilos.

as of April 2020, Gold is no longer 80x more valuable than silver, it is 110x more valuable

I will agree that a 1oz gold coin, stores much more value over a 1oz silver one, but when the difficulties knock your door, it will be much easier to find someone to resell your silver coin.. I think the case here, is about how easy can someone liquidate his coins. Yes, you loose in storage space (as silver-coin quantity is much higher compared to gold), but in the end, you win in liquidity, and that's what matters most when the Time comes!

Security for 6000 oz cost me less than $10.00 . Two plastic buckets from the hardware shop.

Silver has been stuck at $16 for the past 10 years lol

Precious metals are for storing wealth not getting rich. When a SHTF moment arrives you're not going to exchange it for fiat currency. You're going to want to exchange it for other real assets like real estate. You'll also need it to barter should monetary systems tank. As for storing 1200 oz of silver try using an ammo can. You can find them at most sporting goods stores for around $15 and they're fireproof. They're also easy to fit with a locking mechanism.

put them in .50 cal ammo cans! It will be heavy but not that bad, you can easily carry two at a time. The ammo cans also stack nicely and are very secure and durable.

I’m a very new stacker but I studied on it for at least two years before I started buying in a significant way. I don’t really worry too much about an apocalyptic scenario in the United States and I’m not trying to get rich quick. I’m also NOT trying to prepare for the complete collapse of the dollar. My goal is to freeze the buying power of todays dollar the best I can and hand it down to my 15 year old son and allow him to exit my holdings the best he can. I like hearing opinions like yours and I certainly appreciate the time everyone spends explaining their goals and why they stack the way they do. I would never criticize anyone for explaining their strategy. I do worry about the strength of the US dollar as it can be fairly volatile depending on so many variables such as The sitting Presidents values on spending. Social and economic values and the agendas they will FORCE FEED THE US population at any cost. Right now the most popular agendas are Gay and Green I think but it could change to anything at anytime. The US Gov has increased our national deficit enormously while propping up solar panel and electric car companies that will never see an honest return. There’s a lot of pay offs to still be done and more to come. It will be a long time before we crawl out of Obamanomics. The Unknown It’s just FUN to stack and learn. And of course War (but not in a apocalyptic way). There’s also another reason I am stacking. Now that I have a “little” confidence in buying I am just addicted to it. Lol I joke but it’s true! Do not confuse this with greed because I’m not a greedy person at all. I have been accused of hoarding because I tend to keep everything I can but with stacking at least I’m hoarding something valuable and for a good reason or reasons. Lol I just love silver and gold although I don’t have much gold to speak of yet! Maybe that will change as I flip my silver into gold someday when the time is right.

I'm planning to drop $10,000 on silver pretty soon, I think while it's low.

Great stuff mate...dont worry about price...you will be glad in the near future...have some cash for cushion...dont sell it

Wow man... That is a beautiful stack of silver man and I think you will do well with alot of that silver especially the 100ounce coins they appreciate the most I think

Oh for the use of a Crystal ball for 5 seconds. Who is right who is wrong!! Very confusing crash no crash this year next year 10 years. The common thread I have taken is that the change is coming. I'm buying the ratio on Gold an Silver and hope that the price of both are manipulated down until the change to allow me to buy all the gold and silver my Fiat budget allows me. I only wish I started sooner. P.S. BYB I really enjoy your videos👍

1,000 a ounce silver is very likely. Especially when you look at the world currency system. We have a debt based economy that will completely bust. That’s a economic and mathematical certainty

Speculation is never easy no matter what market you are dealing with. Well done video.

The 20% VAT rate on silver (and platinum) in the UK is a real killer to any potential profits and then you have to pay dealer's commissions on top otherwise they would be an excellent investment. Also, as you pointed out a big stack of silver presents problems in home security whereas as you say gold is much easier to hide but then silver is much more barterable so that's the trade off. Still these precious metals are a good hedge against a potential economic collapse but that also brings into the question that governments have confiscated gold in the past in such times of hardship and uncertainty.

I value your opinion, it is important to have gold for bug out purposes but when the reset happens silver will increase at least 40 times and it will pass your wealth onto the next financial realm and you’ll increase your wealth by 40 times at least. Silver is good if things get bad as long as you don’t have to bug out. So it’s good to have both as long as you have a safe place to store it.

I personally think that much silver would be a great idea.... we're personally working on it as we speak

Gold and silver prices are sharply down and near their daily lows in early-afternoon U.S. trading Monday. Gold notched a nearly 1.5-year low and fell below key technical support at $1,200.00, while silver scored a two-year low. A surging U.S. dollar index and solidly lower crude oil prices were pressuring the precious metals. December gold futures were last down $17.10 an ounce at $1,202.00. September Comex silver was last down $0.24 at $15.055 an ounce.

Yes for value and enjoyment I completely agree. Just for saving space bars are more practical

You can hide your silver in the walls or make a closet into a secret room just add a wall over the door.

I heard this argument to many times, so what if you have 1,200 ounces of gold what do you do. Open your mind, whether, you have 12 thousand ounces of silver or Gold, you should not be worried about how you could hide it in your house or having a huge safe because you should not have that much inside you house period. Bury it somewhere on your property in air tight and water proof containers, and be creative when doing so. I live in the U.S and whether Im investing 5,000 or 50,000 I believe Silver has the bigger upside than gold. If your Silver went up to 200 an ounce and you had 10 thousand ounces , that you bought on average of 18 dollars an once would you care about storage? Not me.!!!! I think if you stack Gold to diversify that's great, but if your doing it because it takes up less space, well then you know how I feel about that.

Beautiful silver coins. Here is the problem from an "investment" perspective. The fancy government mint products carry a big premium over spot, add UK sales tax and the dealer's margins and you are down 20+% right out of the gate. Investment advisors pan mutual funds that have a 3-5% load. Imagine their recommendation to their clients that want to "invest" in silver. I used to stack, I do not anymore. Some is good , too much ties up your money in non-productive assets. If I were to buy again, it wouldn't be at any price above $10 an ounce and there would be only two options: Silver eagles or Junk silver. With junk silver 1) purity and weight are never in question, 2) bid/ask spreads are the lowest and 3) you have little tiny pieces of silver for barter (if SHTF). However, if SHTF enough that you are using silver dimes to buy food, the world as we know it is in ashes and your survival beyond a few weeks is almost nil.

Main issue is indeed storing/transporting, banking and/or insuring silver. Second issue is testing, buying and selling silver where vendors taking their cut will affect any profit margins. Last issue is is that buying silver is nothing but pure speculation. Not shooting down people who invest in silver, I am considering investing in precious metals because of my nation's currency having a lsating trend of losing value. The simplicity of it is appealing in comparison to the alternatives, investing into foreign currency or funds.

I can imagine that your premiums for that much silver and of the type you've show, would probably run you over $2000 dollars. AND, that is just the "Buy" premium. Now, add your "Sell" premium and that will cost you almost 16% of the value of your hoard. Yep that is a bad investment, unless you plan to hold on to it for more than a few years until the price goes up at least 16% or so, to cover your loss from the premiums. Unless there is a financial collapse the price will continue to be manipulated such that you will not realize their true value for some time to come.

I own a still, when the economy collapses you'll swap your silver for my booze.. See you then..

A few years ago silver was £20 an oz, a few months ago it was £10 an oz. Yeah, pretty much sums up my opinions on stacking.

You should have known that the price of silver fluctuates, but on the long run it tends to increase. Stacking silver should be considered as savings and not as a stock market commodity. Always buy bars, never coins or rounds.

I can only imagine all the people running after me with guns when they realize i got 2000oz of silver. After end of the world i mean.

Look at silver as a work of art. My passion old poured bars. I do stack but it is all different and rare. Don't pay much over spot and I truly can't part with them. My gold stacking is the same sovereigns and colonial. Until death do we part. Good time to buy.

Large dealers like Silver Gold Bull quote buy prices without seeing your coins. Milk spots or scratched capsules are not an issue.

You are right, in a worst case scenario it's better to have gold instead of a lot of silver if you have to carry it. I live in the EU so tax are a also a problem. I have my foundation of cheap bullion and constitutional silver so I try to switch more to gold and buy only silver coins that I like for my collection.

Heavy? That’s why “buried treasure” was invented. 😉

For the longest time, people were not able to purchase precious metals. History repeats, fiat money has always collapsed. From the Roman Empire to what we see today, its always the same result. We're going into a deflation, then hyper inflation very soon.

It's interesting to note people's thinking on survival in apocalyptic scenario, cultivating bushcraft techniques alongside off grid everything will reduce holding excessive metals.

Good presentation and topic....subscribed!

Store silver in purified boiled linseed oil, invest in a lockable jerry can and start working out.

I wanna feel like Harry Potter at the bank, damn it!

What’s the best silver coins to buy and what’s the best price to get it for? Thank you in advance.

I just bought my first 10oz bar at spot value when silver was priced at $20.80CAN/oz.. unfortunately I had to pay $19.90CAN for shipping so in my eyes an oz of silver is an oz of silver. I essentially paid for 11oz and got 10oz, with the CAN currency factored in well that's a whole other variable to consider. I feel I bought at a good time. I will continue to stack but I will be focusing more on the fact of an oz of silver is just an oz of silver, I will not focus on expensive over priced coins that have a higher premium, plain Jane bars all day..
