- ? Silver — the “poor man’s gold” and an industrial metal
? Current prices (as of May 2025):
Prices are approximate and vary by exchange and region.

? To buy or not?
✅ Worth buying if:
- You want to protect against inflation
- You’ve thought about it for a while but kept postponing
- You have free funds you don’t mind locking up for 1–3 years
⚠️ Be cautious if:
- Your investment horizon is short
- You’re buying “on emotion” at price peaks
- You put all your eggs in one metal
? Where to buy?
- ? Banks and official dealers
- ?? Online coin and bullion stores (check licenses!)
- ? Secondary market — with authenticity checks
Buying gold and silver is not a way to get rich quickly. It’s a way not to get poor.
