WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.600 Welcome back to the Deep Dive. Today, we're diving 00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:06.179 into a topic that's, well, it's caught the eye 00:00:06.179 --> 00:00:08.500 of investors for centuries and is definitely 00:00:08.500 --> 00:00:11.419 making headlines again. Silver. We've sifted 00:00:11.419 --> 00:00:13.679 through a whole stack of research on this precious 00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:16.079 metal. And our mission today is to really pull 00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:18.500 out the most important nuggets, helping you understand 00:00:18.500 --> 00:00:21.359 its unique appeal. That's right. You know, when 00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:23.399 you think about investing, stocks and bonds usually 00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:25.879 jump to mind first. But silver, it offers some 00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:27.820 really distinct advantages. We're going to explore 00:00:27.820 --> 00:00:30.719 what makes it so valuable, both historically 00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:33.020 and in today's market. And then we'll unpack 00:00:33.020 --> 00:00:34.560 the different ways you can actually invest in 00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:37.659 it, along with the crucial risks to keep in mind. 00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:40.659 Okay, let's get into it. Our sources highlight 00:00:40.659 --> 00:00:43.079 several pretty compelling reasons why silver 00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:45.340 might be a smart addition to your portfolio. 00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:47.039 We're talking about more than just, you know, 00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:50.280 a shiny metal here. So let's start with its fundamental 00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:53.299 nature. Benefits of investing in silver. More 00:00:53.299 --> 00:00:56.020 than just a pretty metal. First up, this idea 00:00:56.020 --> 00:00:58.840 of silver as a tangible asset. something with 00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:01.920 intrinsic value. What's fascinating here is that 00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:04.319 unlike digital stocks or bonds, you can literally 00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:08.620 hold silver in your hand. How does that tangibility 00:01:08.620 --> 00:01:11.200 translate into actual value for an investor? 00:01:11.540 --> 00:01:13.280 Well, silver's intrinsic worth comes from its 00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:16.239 long history as actual currency and importantly, 00:01:16.379 --> 00:01:18.439 its ongoing demand across various industries. 00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:21.219 This physical nature, it provides a kind of security 00:01:21.219 --> 00:01:23.640 that paper assets often just can't match, makes 00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:26.280 it less vulnerable to, say, the wild swings you 00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:28.200 sometimes see in the stock market. It's proven 00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:30.400 to be a reliable store of value, especially when 00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:33.599 the economy feels a bit unstable. Right. So it's 00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:35.939 not just about looks. It's about what it is. 00:01:36.019 --> 00:01:39.060 And that ties directly into its role in portfolio 00:01:39.060 --> 00:01:42.340 diversification. Why is spreading investments 00:01:42.340 --> 00:01:44.780 across different asset classes so crucial? And 00:01:44.780 --> 00:01:47.439 how exactly does silver fit into that picture? 00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:50.879 Diversification is really a cornerstone of smart 00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:53.170 investing. I mean, fundamentally, it reduces 00:01:53.170 --> 00:01:56.109 risk and can even enhance potential returns over 00:01:56.109 --> 00:01:58.930 time. Silver fits in perfectly because it often 00:01:58.930 --> 00:02:01.030 doesn't move in lockstep with stocks or bonds. 00:02:01.049 --> 00:02:04.129 Ah, OK. So this means that when traditional markets 00:02:04.129 --> 00:02:06.909 might be down, silver can often hold its value 00:02:06.909 --> 00:02:10.189 or sometimes even increase. It provides this 00:02:10.189 --> 00:02:12.750 layer of protection against market downturns. 00:02:12.750 --> 00:02:15.270 It really complements traditional investments 00:02:15.270 --> 00:02:18.500 by offering a different kind of stability. OK, 00:02:18.539 --> 00:02:20.099 now here's where it gets really interesting for 00:02:20.099 --> 00:02:23.099 a lot of people. Silver as a safe haven asset 00:02:23.099 --> 00:02:25.240 during economic uncertainty. We hear that phrase 00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:27.379 thrown around a lot. But what does it truly mean 00:02:27.379 --> 00:02:29.659 when we're talking about silver? Well, when economic 00:02:29.659 --> 00:02:32.219 uncertainty really hits the fan, wreaks havoc 00:02:32.219 --> 00:02:35.039 on financial markets, investors naturally look 00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:37.729 for assets that could protect their wealth. Silver, 00:02:37.789 --> 00:02:40.669 with its long historical track record, is definitely 00:02:40.669 --> 00:02:43.330 one of those assets. Its ability to retain value 00:02:43.330 --> 00:02:46.229 during downturns makes it a pretty reliable choice. 00:02:46.889 --> 00:02:49.349 When stock markets are volatile, currencies might 00:02:49.349 --> 00:02:52.689 be losing value. Silver often shines as a stable, 00:02:52.810 --> 00:02:56.169 secure option. Makes sense. And speaking of protecting 00:02:56.169 --> 00:02:59.000 wealth... Our sources really emphasize silver's 00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:02.000 role as an inflation hedge. How does silver actually 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:04.379 combat that erosion of purchasing power that 00:03:04.379 --> 00:03:07.039 inflation causes? Right. Inflation eats away 00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:09.280 at the value of your money, doesn't it? But silver 00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:11.699 has historically shown it can maintain its value 00:03:11.699 --> 00:03:14.400 and often actually appreciates during inflationary 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:16.740 periods. So by investing in silver, you're not 00:03:16.740 --> 00:03:19.099 just trying to preserve wealth. You're potentially 00:03:19.099 --> 00:03:21.159 setting the stage for growth by shielding your 00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.199 financial future from those rising prices. It 00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:25.849 also seems incredibly liquid. Is it really that 00:03:25.849 --> 00:03:28.289 easy to buy and sell if you need the cash? Oh, 00:03:28.370 --> 00:03:30.930 absolutely. Silver has really high liquidity. 00:03:31.650 --> 00:03:34.210 That's largely due to the consistent demand in 00:03:34.210 --> 00:03:37.310 industries like electronics, solar, jewelry. 00:03:37.930 --> 00:03:40.090 This means investors can typically convert silver 00:03:40.090 --> 00:03:42.889 into cash relatively quickly without suffering 00:03:42.889 --> 00:03:45.789 a significant loss in value. It offers a lot 00:03:45.789 --> 00:03:48.330 of flexibility as an investment. OK, so we've 00:03:48.330 --> 00:03:51.780 got tangibility. diversification, safety, inflation 00:03:51.780 --> 00:03:54.840 protection and liquidity. Does it also hold its 00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:57.900 value reliably over the long term? Yes, generally 00:03:57.900 --> 00:04:00.800 speaking, unlike some assets that can fluctuate 00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:03.580 wildly and maybe never recover, silver has a 00:04:03.580 --> 00:04:06.500 history of maintaining its value over time. This 00:04:06.500 --> 00:04:08.699 stability is honestly one of its greatest strengths, 00:04:09.139 --> 00:04:11.159 especially for investors looking for a long term 00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:14.219 hold. Its value retention is really tied to that 00:04:14.219 --> 00:04:16.600 intrinsic worth and the ongoing industrial demand. 00:04:16.699 --> 00:04:18.759 And that leads us to a really unique point our 00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:21.519 sources bring up. Silver's dual role in industry 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:23.540 and investment. What does that mean for its overall 00:04:23.540 --> 00:04:26.139 stability and demand? Seems quite different from, 00:04:26.139 --> 00:04:28.839 say, gold. It is quite different, yeah. This 00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.800 dual role is a significant safety net for investors, 00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:34.759 you could say. Silver isn't just something people 00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:37.220 invest in. It's essential across multiple industries. 00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:40.120 Think electronics, health care, renewable energy. 00:04:40.500 --> 00:04:43.100 Its conductive and antimicrobial properties are 00:04:43.100 --> 00:04:45.439 crucial. Right, like in solar panels and EVs. 00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:48.300 Exactly. This widespread industrial reliance 00:04:48.300 --> 00:04:50.779 ensures a sort of baseline consistent demand 00:04:50.779 --> 00:04:53.660 and that demand helps support its investment 00:04:53.660 --> 00:04:56.500 value even during economic downturns when you 00:04:56.500 --> 00:04:59.019 know liquidity might dry up for other purely 00:04:59.019 --> 00:05:02.720 investment focused assets strategies for investing 00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:06.360 in silver Options to consider. Okay, so we've 00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:08.790 established why silver is compelling Now, let's 00:05:08.790 --> 00:05:10.930 talk about the how. How do you actually invest? 00:05:11.230 --> 00:05:13.189 Our sources outline several strategies, and it's 00:05:13.189 --> 00:05:14.949 definitely not a one -size -fits -all kind of 00:05:14.949 --> 00:05:17.550 thing. First up, the classic choice. Physical 00:05:17.550 --> 00:05:20.389 silver versus silver ETFs. What are the key differences 00:05:20.389 --> 00:05:23.089 there? What should someone consider? Right. So 00:05:23.089 --> 00:05:25.149 physical silver means you're holding actual coins 00:05:25.149 --> 00:05:27.089 or bars. It gives you that tangible security 00:05:27.089 --> 00:05:29.709 we talked about. You feel it in your hand. But 00:05:29.709 --> 00:05:32.250 you then need to think about safe storage, insurance, 00:05:32.689 --> 00:05:36.240 authenticity. Practical stuff. Exactly. Silver 00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:38.620 ETFs, on the other hand, they offer convenience 00:05:38.620 --> 00:05:40.860 and flexibility. They trade just like stocks 00:05:40.860 --> 00:05:42.939 on exchanges, so no need for physical storage 00:05:42.939 --> 00:05:46.579 yourself. However, and this is fascinating, our 00:05:46.579 --> 00:05:48.980 sources point out that very few investors actually 00:05:48.980 --> 00:05:52.879 read the fine print, the extensive conditions 00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:55.959 of these ETFs. And those conditions often give 00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:58.980 the supplier considerable rights to default on 00:05:58.980 --> 00:06:01.579 the contract under certain, let's call them mitigating 00:06:01.579 --> 00:06:03.779 circumstances. Valtern, even if it's tracking 00:06:03.779 --> 00:06:07.149 silver. Potentially. Yes. It highlights a crucial 00:06:07.149 --> 00:06:10.189 counterparty risk with ETFs, the risk that the 00:06:10.189 --> 00:06:12.550 entity backing the ETF might not be able to deliver. 00:06:12.810 --> 00:06:14.930 Wow. OK, that's a really critical detail for 00:06:14.930 --> 00:06:18.170 our listener to be aware of. Good point. So beyond 00:06:18.170 --> 00:06:20.850 owning silver directly, either physically or 00:06:20.850 --> 00:06:22.910 through an ETF, what about silver mining company 00:06:22.910 --> 00:06:25.170 stocks? Investing in mining stocks means you're 00:06:25.170 --> 00:06:26.870 buying shares in the companies that actually 00:06:26.870 --> 00:06:29.339 dig silver out of the ground. Now, there's potential 00:06:29.339 --> 00:06:31.459 for significant returns if the company does well 00:06:31.459 --> 00:06:34.540 operationally, finds new deposits, manages costs 00:06:34.540 --> 00:06:37.000 efficiently. But it's vital to research their 00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.120 financial health, their debt levels, their production 00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:42.259 capabilities. So it's not just a bet on the silver 00:06:42.259 --> 00:06:44.839 price itself. Not at all. And this raises an 00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:47.500 important point. While mining stocks can yield 00:06:47.500 --> 00:06:50.560 big returns, especially when silver prices rise, 00:06:50.939 --> 00:06:53.240 they also come with higher risks. You've got 00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:55.399 fluctuating silver prices impacting their revenue, 00:06:55.620 --> 00:06:59.089 yes, but also... Geopolitical uncertainties, 00:06:59.689 --> 00:07:01.610 operational problems like strikes or accidents, 00:07:02.250 --> 00:07:04.730 diversification within mining stocks or balancing 00:07:04.730 --> 00:07:07.129 them with other silver investments is pretty 00:07:07.129 --> 00:07:09.779 crucial there. And what about a more... maybe 00:07:09.779 --> 00:07:12.699 managed approach, like silver -related mutual 00:07:12.699 --> 00:07:15.220 funds. Yeah, those funds pool money from lots 00:07:15.220 --> 00:07:17.759 of investors to buy a whole range of silver -related 00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:20.939 assets. That could include mining stocks, ETFs, 00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:23.439 maybe even some physical silver sometimes. A 00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:25.000 key advantage is professional management. You 00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:27.079 have experienced fund managers doing the research 00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:28.939 and making the buy -sell decisions. So there 00:07:28.939 --> 00:07:31.980 are fees, right? Exactly. It's crucial to consider 00:07:31.980 --> 00:07:34.300 that mutual funds usually have management fees, 00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:36.899 maybe other expenses, which will eat into your 00:07:36.899 --> 00:07:39.259 overall profits over time. So you always need 00:07:39.259 --> 00:07:41.399 to look at the fund's track record, its expense 00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:44.279 ratio, and its specific investment strategy to 00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:46.579 make sure it fits what you're looking for. OK. 00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:49.360 And then for the, let's say, more experienced 00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:52.160 investor, our sources also mentioned silver futures 00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:54.819 and options. These sound like they definitely 00:07:54.819 --> 00:07:56.819 come with higher stakes. They absolutely do. 00:07:57.100 --> 00:07:59.060 These are financial instruments that let you 00:07:59.060 --> 00:08:01.620 speculate on where silver's price is going in 00:08:01.620 --> 00:08:04.339 the future. They offer potential for high returns, 00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:07.420 yes, but also come with significantly increased 00:08:07.420 --> 00:08:10.759 risk. With futures, you're agreeing to buy or 00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:13.319 sell silver at a set price on a future date. 00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:16.800 Options give you the right, but not the obligation, 00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:20.500 to buy or sell at a specific price. That flexibility 00:08:20.500 --> 00:08:23.079 sounds useful. It can be, especially in volatile 00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:25.720 markets. But these are really not suitable for 00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:27.319 everyone, particularly if you're new to the silver 00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:29.939 market. They require a solid understanding of 00:08:29.939 --> 00:08:32.659 how markets work and good risk management. Definitely 00:08:32.659 --> 00:08:35.580 not set it and forget it. Makes sense. So for 00:08:35.580 --> 00:08:37.539 any of these strategies, timing your investments 00:08:37.539 --> 00:08:40.639 seems pretty critical. What market trends or 00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:42.519 indicators should we be watching based on our 00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:45.679 sources? Timing is indeed crucial, though notoriously 00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:48.360 difficult. Silver prices get influenced by all 00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:51.740 sorts of things. Geopolitical events, currency 00:08:51.740 --> 00:08:54.159 movements, especially the U .S. dollar, and of 00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:57.259 course, changes in industrial demand. One key 00:08:57.259 --> 00:08:59.259 indicator that our sources often mention is the 00:08:59.259 --> 00:09:02.330 gold -silver ratio. Yes, I've heard of that. 00:09:02.389 --> 00:09:04.450 It basically measures how many ounces of silver 00:09:04.450 --> 00:09:07.690 it takes to buy one ounce of gold. Historically, 00:09:07.789 --> 00:09:10.429 when that ratio is high, it tends to suggest 00:09:10.429 --> 00:09:13.570 silver is undervalued compared to gold, maybe 00:09:13.570 --> 00:09:15.629 signaling a potential buying opportunity. And 00:09:15.629 --> 00:09:18.169 when it's low. Conversely, a low ratio might 00:09:18.169 --> 00:09:20.309 suggest silver is getting a bit expensive relative 00:09:20.309 --> 00:09:23.490 to gold. It's not foolproof, of course, but monitoring 00:09:23.490 --> 00:09:25.809 this ratio can definitely help inform your timing 00:09:25.809 --> 00:09:28.830 and potentially boost returns. And finally, circling 00:09:28.830 --> 00:09:31.370 back, if someone does choose physical silver, 00:09:31.450 --> 00:09:33.990 storage and security are obviously huge considerations. 00:09:34.490 --> 00:09:36.389 What are the main options and their trade -offs? 00:09:36.830 --> 00:09:40.029 Yeah, you absolutely need secure storage to prevent 00:09:40.029 --> 00:09:42.870 theft or damage. You can store it at home, maybe 00:09:42.870 --> 00:09:45.549 in a safe, but that comes with security risks 00:09:45.549 --> 00:09:47.250 and might not be fully covered by insurance. 00:09:47.629 --> 00:09:49.750 Right. A safe deposit box at a bank offers more 00:09:49.750 --> 00:09:52.129 protection, but you might have limited access, 00:09:52.429 --> 00:09:55.029 you know, bank hours only. Then there are professional 00:09:55.029 --> 00:09:57.269 storage services, dedicated vaults basically. 00:09:57.389 --> 00:10:00.230 They offer the highest level of security, often 00:10:00.230 --> 00:10:03.789 with full insurance, but they are naturally more 00:10:03.789 --> 00:10:06.710 expensive. It's worth a balance. It is. You really 00:10:06.710 --> 00:10:09.370 need to weigh the cost versus the security and 00:10:09.370 --> 00:10:11.570 accessibility that works for you. Protecting 00:10:11.570 --> 00:10:13.970 that investment is paramount. Potential risks 00:10:13.970 --> 00:10:17.470 and considerations. What to watch out for. OK, 00:10:17.490 --> 00:10:19.990 so like any investment, silver isn't a guaranteed 00:10:19.990 --> 00:10:22.929 win. It has its risks. Our sources highlight 00:10:22.929 --> 00:10:25.029 a few key things every investor really needs 00:10:25.029 --> 00:10:27.529 to be aware of. Let's start with volatility and 00:10:27.529 --> 00:10:30.389 silver prices. How significant are these swings 00:10:30.389 --> 00:10:32.509 we're talking about? Yeah, silver prices can 00:10:32.509 --> 00:10:34.470 definitely experience significant fluctuations, 00:10:34.529 --> 00:10:36.990 sometimes quite rapidly, even over short periods. 00:10:37.549 --> 00:10:39.490 These swings are driven by all those factors 00:10:39.490 --> 00:10:42.029 we mentioned, changes in market demand, geopolitical 00:10:42.029 --> 00:10:45.129 events, shifts in investor sentiment, even speculative 00:10:45.129 --> 00:10:48.570 trading. Now, while this volatility can present 00:10:48.570 --> 00:10:51.360 opportunities for profit, If you time it right, 00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:55.240 it also very clearly increases the risk of losses. 00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:58.360 So how do you deal with that? Well, to mitigate 00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:00.960 this, many experts suggest adopting a longer 00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:03.919 term investment strategy. The idea is to try 00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:06.559 and ride out those short -term swings and focus 00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:09.159 on silver's potential long -term growth and value 00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:11.940 retention. Okay, patience is key. We also touched 00:11:11.940 --> 00:11:13.779 on this earlier, but it really bears repeating 00:11:13.779 --> 00:11:17.100 because it hits the bottom line. The costs associated 00:11:17.100 --> 00:11:19.879 with storage and insurance for physical silver. 00:11:20.379 --> 00:11:22.559 How do these actually impact your overall returns? 00:11:22.740 --> 00:11:25.440 They definitely do impact returns. These costs, 00:11:25.779 --> 00:11:28.200 storage fees, insurance premiums, they can add 00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:30.740 up over time and directly affect your overall 00:11:30.740 --> 00:11:33.019 profitability. So it's essential to factor them 00:11:33.019 --> 00:11:34.879 in right from the start when you're calculating 00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:37.240 potential gains. And for the paper options. Right, 00:11:37.299 --> 00:11:39.500 for things like silver ETFs. These costs are 00:11:39.500 --> 00:11:41.460 typically built into the management fees, the 00:11:41.460 --> 00:11:43.960 expense ratio. So while you're not paying a separate 00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.480 storage bill, those fees are still nibbling away 00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:49.440 at your returns. Always compare those fees across 00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:52.080 different investment options. It's crucial. Good 00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:55.360 reminder. And finally, an area that's often overlooked, 00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:59.809 maybe until tax time. the legal and tax implications. 00:12:00.450 --> 00:12:02.409 What should our listener be thinking about here? 00:12:02.830 --> 00:12:04.409 Yeah, this is important. Investing in silver 00:12:04.409 --> 00:12:06.970 can have specific legal and tax consequences. 00:12:07.389 --> 00:12:09.210 And they really depend on where you live and 00:12:09.210 --> 00:12:11.629 the exact type of investment you hold. For instance, 00:12:12.090 --> 00:12:14.830 in most places, capital gains taxes will likely 00:12:14.830 --> 00:12:17.070 apply to any profits you make when you sell silver. 00:12:17.730 --> 00:12:19.490 Different countries, even different states or 00:12:19.490 --> 00:12:21.830 provinces, might have varying regulations about 00:12:21.830 --> 00:12:23.789 reporting precious metals ownership. So it's 00:12:23.789 --> 00:12:26.940 not straightforward? Not always. No. It's really 00:12:26.940 --> 00:12:29.299 crucial to understand the rules in your specific 00:12:29.299 --> 00:12:32.879 jurisdiction. And honestly, seeking professional 00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:35.379 advice from a tax advisor or a legal expert, 00:12:35.860 --> 00:12:38.059 if you're dealing with significant amounts, is 00:12:38.059 --> 00:12:40.539 often a very good idea to make sure you're compliant 00:12:40.539 --> 00:12:42.960 and maybe even optimize your investments from 00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:45.850 a tax perspective. Outro. So we've really taken 00:12:45.850 --> 00:12:48.090 a deep dive into Silver today. We've explored 00:12:48.090 --> 00:12:51.230 its its tangible value, its role as a hedge and 00:12:51.230 --> 00:12:53.570 a diversifier, that unique dual nature in industry 00:12:53.570 --> 00:12:55.789 and investment. And we've walked through the 00:12:55.789 --> 00:12:57.769 various strategies for getting involved, plus 00:12:57.769 --> 00:13:00.110 the important risks to keep firmly in mind. It's 00:13:00.110 --> 00:13:02.389 pretty clear Silver offers a, well, a unique 00:13:02.389 --> 00:13:04.110 set of benefits for an investment portfolio. 00:13:04.450 --> 00:13:07.289 Indeed it does.

And maybe this raises an important 00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:19.120 question for you, the listener, to consider. 00:13:19.539 --> 00:13:22.659 How might silver, with its actual physical value 00:13:22.659 --> 00:13:25.720 and that dual industrial investment role, specifically 00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:28.960 complement or maybe even enhance your own current 00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:30.940 investment approach, especially when you think 00:13:30.940 --> 00:13:33.200 about its historical performance as a hedge against 00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:37.019 inflation and economic uncertainty? That's definitely 00:13:37.019 --> 00:13:38.539 a powerful thought to leave you with, something 00:13:38.539 --> 00:13:40.320 to really mull over.
