Investing in Silver
Silver has been recognized as a currency and store of value for over 4,000 years. It offers many of the same benefits as gold and can be added to an Individual Retirement Account.
You may be shocked to learn how badly U.S. stocks have performed in the last 15 years. Let’s say you had $100,000 on January 1, 2000 invested in the NASDAQ Index, your portfolio would be worth only $54,928 in January 2010.
Or, let’s say you had the same money in the S&P 500 Index. Your investment would have lost more than 23%!
That same money, invested in silver would have yielded a portfolio worth $325,473!

GOLD
Investing in silver can reduce the overall volatility of your retirement portfolio and play a part in your efforts to create a safe, stable, and profitable future.
Affordability
For those who are cautious about precious metals investing, silver is a great place to start. Silver is affordable and can be used as a stepping stone to the world of precious metals.
Diversification
Savvy investors know the importance of owning a wide variety of investments. You may already have gold coins or bars in your portfolio, so why not diversify even further by adding silver?
Room for Growth
Because silver’s price per ounce is relatively low, there is plenty of room for growth. As inflation keeps climbing, so should the value of silver and other precious metals.
Industrial Demand
In addition to being a popular investment, silver is also valued for its many industrial uses. Silver plays an integral role in several industries, including medicine, technology, electronics, and sanitation.
