Hi,

 I'm interested in investing in silver after hearing that it should do very well. Does anybody invest in silver or even gold and could give me a few pointers as to the best way of investing i.e buying and sotring, through an etf, invest in the mining companies? Is there anywhere where I can research on this online?

 Many thanks

Rhys

Hi Rhys,

good name!!

I started buying silver a few years ago, just a few ounces a month and then the odd gold coin when I could stretch to it.  I stopped about a year ago as the prices were rising and I wanted to reduce my 0% credit card hopping fund.  I now have a small pile that appears to have grown in value recently.  I didn't buy silver and gold to sell it again, I just wanted to build up a percentage of my wealth in precious metals.

Kitco at http://www.kitco.com/ is an obvious starting point for trading precious metals including futures.  There is also a forum.

 
Gold Exchange Traded Funds have only been going a few years and silver ETF less than 2 years.  The website Marketwatch http://www.marketwatch.com/funds/ has some up to date articles.

 
regards Rhys
