SILVER

Check this out. Gas used to be four gallons for a buck. Back in those days, our U.S. currency was backed by real silver. Not any more. However, the same amount of silver still buys the same amount of gas! See where this is going? Even though the buying power of our paper money has declined, the value of silver has managed to avoid that fate. This is one reason why people like to diversify their investment portfolios with precious metals--especially in uneasy economic and political times. There are companies out there like Monex, who has been giving advice to those with an interest in precious metals for nearly forty years, who can help you find the best way to make silver part of your financial planning and investment strategy.
