THE Powerful Case For: Silver

This document makes the case for investing in silver by outlining three main reasons: 1) Silver is more affordable than gold for daily transactions and has historically served as money when fiat currencies fail, as it did in countries like Zimbabwe and Venezuela. 2) Over half of silver production is used for industrial applications such as electronics and green energy, and demand is expected to increase significantly. 3) The gold-to-silver price ratio has been around 80:1 recently but historically averages 16:1, suggesting silver is undervalued and has further upside potential if the ratio reverts to historical norms.

Assets that used to be considered safe havens are now among the most risky. Paper promises aren’t
good enough anymore. Investors want personal possession of physical assets with inherent value.
For more than a decade, gold has stolen the media limelight as the premier safe-haven investment.
Investors attracted by gold’s strong fundamentals are rushing to buy the yellow metal at bargain
rates and reap the reward when gold rises again. But this singular focus can blind investors to profit
opportunities in other precious metals.
In this report, we will make the investment case for silver — a metal with the monetary benefits of

THE
A USEFUL GUIDE: POWERFUL
CASE FOR
SILVER

At SchiffGold, we believe that investing


in gold and silver should be simple and
painless.

W e’ve developed this special report so you can confidently understand:

▶ Why professional investors are buying as much silver as gold in terms of value –
and much more in terms of weight.
▶ Which physical silver products are truly investment-grade and which are known
rip-offs.
▶ How to purchase physical silver at very low prices.

Even if you already understand the importance of protecting your wealth with
precious metals, this report will serve as a great educational tool to share with friends
and loved ones, so they can also prepare for the future.

Sincerely,

THE
THE FUTURE OF SILVER POWERFUL
CASE FOR
SILVER

Since silver’s fall from a 2011 high of nearly $50, most


mainstream analysis has ignored the white metal
and focused on the decade-long rise in gold.

I n this report, we have demonstrated why silver’s growth is far from over. That $50 price point wasn’t an
anomaly, but rather an early indicator of silver’s true potential.
So, the next time someone questions silver’s potential to maintain and grow value, keep these points in mind.

▶A
growing international appreciation of saving (and even spending) silver will continue to drive
sales in both Western economies and emerging markets.
▶Wherever
fiat currencies are losing value, people are looking for new stores of wealth and new
ways of doing business. It won’t be long before Americans join the rest of the world in recognizing
the importance of having a little silver on hand to trade for everyday essentials.
▶Silver’s
unique physical properties ensure that its thriving industrial demand will continue to
grow to new highs, securing silver as an essential component of 21st century technology.
▶As
the world reawakens to the value of silver, and as this awareness grows, silver will reclaim its
former status as circulating money.
▶As
our historically abnormal era of worthless paper currency ends, we expect silver and gold to
return to a historically normal price ratio — meaning greater gains for silver.

We live in uncertain times – bank deposit seizures, reckless money-printing by central banks, and crumbling
international trust in the world’s reserve currencies. While these are all good reasons to worry about the future,
investors must not allow fear to paralyze them.
Fortunately, protecting yourself from financial calamities is as easy as diversifying part of your wealth into
physical precious metals.
Just remember that silver has its own unique advantages, and deserves a place alongside gold in any healthy
portfolio.
