Which is better

I think gold is better considering that it's a precious metal and it's demand is high throughout the world.

 

This invester asked a good question about which metal to invest. My family have always invested in Silver metal, even though the value fluctuates. However, Silver metal is a stable investment for the future. The price is reasonable enough to buy a lot of it.

 

I have heard in the media that gold is a better investment and sometimes I see those gold commercials on television. Then later on I hear that silver is the better choice. Personally if I were to invest I'm thinking that I would go with gold because of the value and it is worth it. Right now at this moment I would say that gold is the better choice.

 

Gold seems to fluctuate more than silver but both are very strong investments. Gold is the better choice at the moment but the market has had several dips in the past few years. I think they are quality investments but I do not buy into the conspiracy theories and other fantastical ideas that most of my friends with bars of silver and gold in their houses subscribe to. If you are looking at a doomsday scenario, there are much more important things to worry about than securing investments in today's economy.

Now, if making a real decision based on long-term growth and gains, gold is a really secure and good bet IMO.

 

In my opinion gold is better than silver. It's different from time to time really, but right now gold is the best choice. The fluctuations are more accentuated, and I really look for that when investing.

 

Silver is more widely used in industry compared to gold. However, the world is likely to grow at a fairly slow pace dampening the growth in silver industrial usage
Several central banks, especially those in Asia and Russia, are likely to keep on buying gold. There is no such buying likely in silver.
The best argument that can be made for gold right now is its status as an alternative currency to fiat currencies. This argument can not be made for silver at this time.

 

Honestly, I think that, as the others have stated, if you do manage to acquire a hefty sum, wherewith you can both make a solid investment in gold and have some disposable income left over, then I'd say go for the gold! I've never really valued silver over gold at all, and I do firmly believe that the end-product after refinement is far more precious.
However, as far as investing in it goes, I'd say consider whether you think that the value of gold, and metals in general, will increase significantly, whether in the near or distant future, and whether its value has increased since "the days of old", or experienced a decrease.
Furthermore, a major factor that you should take into consideration, is the value of gold on the international market.
Remember, that the true "value" of a particular currency or means of trade, is what you are able to tender in exchange for it, on the international scale.
You should really do a lot of research, and have a few "sit-down consultations" with some solid investors. You'll have to pay (if you don't know them personally), to attain their worthwhile advice, but the return will be worthwhile itself, when you've applied what they've told you in the right ways.
Happy investing, and keep your head toward the "news".

 

I recommend using gold. My family does this kind of thing with old pieces from old computers. You can use some substances and then get the gold out of them, melt what is left and then sell it.
It is very tideous but if you know what you are doing you can get a lot of money with little to no effort, just a long time of waiting. There are a lot of tutorials on the internet.
