i can only comment as to my personal experience and what some of the financial letters i receive state. Concenus seems to be if you are buying metals as a 'chaos' hedge, allocating 10% of your total investment money to metals is a good, safe rule. Silver is also very underpriced compared to gold right now. both metals seem poised to continue their bull runs. thats just my two cents worth. happy investing.
Thanks! Im in canada so i buy our coin which is the "Maple Leaf"
me too. if you can afford the 10 oz bars- you pay less for the ounces you get versus 10 -1 oz coins. check out 'silvergoldbull'. very low commissions and free shipping on $500 orders or larger.
