Anyone have confirmation on this?
My reasons for preferring silver over gold:
1) Silver is far undervalued vs. gold. It comes out of the ground at approx. 10:1. Due to transportation costs historical ratio is 12-16:1 currently at over 60:1
2)Gold's only real use is monetary. Silver has industrial uses as well as monetary, Meaning it's value is more intrinsic than that of gold.
3)When SHTF you aren't going to be able to buy food with gold. Well you might but that would mean gold has significantly dropped in purchasing power. Silver will hold it's purchasing power much better in such a situation because it will be much more commonly available.
4)Silver is priced lower than gold so the same number of FRNs buys a lot more silver than gold, currently better than 60 times as noted above. That gives you a much higher multiplier effect as the FRNs loose their value vs. PMs
Given that in general kings are a bunch of power mad sociopaths I'd say that is yet another reason to hold silver.
Yes but only a thin plating over copper. Very little by weight. It is used because it conducts the high frequencies better than the straight copper. High frequencies propagate primarily through the very outer layer of the conductor. Hence a gold plating. It is used the same way in contacts for the same reason and in addition because it is non reactive it doesn't corrode meaning the connection doesn't degrade as quickly.
Never confuse an ideologue with reality. It just makes them grumpy.
Well if you are trying to let the smoke out then plug and unplug while the system is live. High tech just loves that.
