About Investing In Silver
Silver is the most affordable metal to invest in. Silver is also the most volatile because of its lower market liquidity. While silver often tracks the gold price, it's price has a wide range of valuations in the market causing greater volatility. Since September 2005 the price of silver has risen steeply, doubling in price.
For thousaunds of years, before the end of the silver standard, silver has been valued as a form of money. Silver was used in ancient times as coins and tokens for trade. In 2011, the global silver reserves totaled to 530,000 tonnes.
