Here are my reasons why silver is better.

1. It's both more rare and cheaper than 20 years ago (considering inflation, supply, demand, and comparative to the fact gold is made to jewelry while silver is industrially consumed)

2. It's cheaper than gold, thus easier to buy, and easy to manipulate in trading, more people buy it because more people can afford it.

3. You can get them in much higher diversity and several available options : silver old US coins (dollars, dimes, half dollars), silver bullion (cheapest), silver bars, ...etc.

I have personal experience with silver and all these are good factors of my success , I own no gold and to this day to not regret one bit.

actually, no currency is "tied" to gold; it's just that gold is bought and sold just like anything else at a price that the world right now agrees to be expressed in united states dollars.

oil's probably not a bad thing to buy, either. other commodities may also be good bets. Jim Rogers, for one, likes agricultural commodities, some which he says are still way undervalued.

while stocks may have beaten gold since 1900, the question is, who's around for that long? and which stocks are the right stocks? those gains came about cyclically at best, and for several periods in the past gold was king. you might want to analyze this by tracking the dow/gold ratio. by that measure gold should now be going higher relative to stocks. the idea is that when the dow/gold ratio is back down to or close to 1:1, switch from gold into stocks.

an alternative to etfs you might want to consider is the Perth Mint Certificate. aside from a small setup/admin fee there are no unallocated storage fees. you own actual gold, and for eventual production costs you can arrange for delivery anywhere in the world. i try to convert regularly 5% into gold and 5% into silver of my income/net worth. i consider it "wealth insurance", and don't even think about it...


Common Sense
#1;
You don't have to "buy" the commodity & pay storage fees. You can buy the ETF's;
GLD
SLV

#2;
My allocation is 60% GLD and 40% SLV. My total exposure is around 2% of my gross investable assets. It's part of my "Asset Allocation".

Gold is NOT an investment, it is a hedge (or a hobby).

Here's what gold prices have done in the US since 1998:

"SPY", or the S&P 500 stocks have achieved the same %gain in 5 years:

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=SPY&t=5y

So if you had your money in gold instead of stocks for that period you would have LOST money...

If you look at far longer periods of time, the market outperforms gold by even more staggering margins.

An ounce of gold purchased in 1900 is worth 30 times as much today....Had you invested that $21 in stocks instead, today it would be worth over 8,000% more!
