Don't look at the price, look at the percentage increase over time. Gold and Silver have only made modest gains in the last four years. Would have done much better in the market.
I dumped about 150 ounces of silver at around $23.50 a few months back. Bought most of it around $17 .... but that was probably ten years ago .. so mehh.
For the average person precious metals are a terrible investment. Huge believer in keeping a decent amount on hand, but not as an investment, but as a safety net.
Bear in mind $50 increase on a $2000 item is 2%, Silver has done better in the last few weeks with more like a 10% increase.
If you walk into a shop with physical metal and they won't give you spot for good branded ingots ... walk out. When recently selling some silver, we took out our phones, we both looked up spot, that's what he paid.
