Silver vs Gold
Though not as rare as gold, silver possesses unique functional properties that play a critical role in a wide range of industrial and medical applications. Some even argue that silver is more necessary than gold, dubbing the precious commodity as “the indispensable metal.”
Silver also functions as a monetary metal, and just like gold, is considered an attractive liquid investment vehicle. Its indispensable nature coupled with investment demand are the primary drivers of the silver bullion market, establishing the potential for significant appreciation.
Handy Silver Is Downright American
For more than a half-century, Americans have exhibited a greater affinity for silver as a precious metal investment than most other nations. This phenomenon has its roots in the age-old Yankee bi-metal monetary system of gold … AND SILVER. Known as the “Gold and Silver Standard,” the U.S. adopted this bimetallic system with the passage of the 1792 Coinage Act. In the 1860s, the Nevada silver rush further crystallized the Western appreciation for silver by giving rise to the massive production of the popular Morgan Silver Dollar in substantial quantities.
Today, silver’s appeal is in line with American culture’s risk/reward tolerance, as silver bars are not only handy, big, weighty, and impressive but also volatile, offering ample upside potential. For decades, Monex has achieved a storied history of success by specializing in fulfilling America’s demand for alternative silver investments.
