Silver is the better investment

[gkoogk]

Silvers best was 2011 £28.18..today £11.11

Gold's best was 2011 £1132.10...today £839.92

As both metals generally rise same time we would get a  253% profit on silver if it went back up  to 2011 prices.....and  a 29% profit on gold

 

I think I got my maths right hehe

by your figures it's 153% profit for silver and 29% profit

for gold. sovereigns make gold buying simple. it's

different with silver where you have to pay vat and if

unlucky could lose the premium paid on a resale.

Sorry It is 153% ..but as we buy most silver here virtually VAT free from Germany

eBay prices are much higher as they would  have paid vat on most coins..that's where we get the advantage.

By this logic, Rhodium is the better investment;

$10,000 an ounce in 2008 compared to $665 today. Not sure what the percentage gain that is but Back. Up. The. Truck. (Or not)
