Silver 101

Language Version: Dealer GoldEnglish / Gold & Silver Dealers Spanish

Silver, like other precious metals, is a powerful option for your portfolio. For more than four thousand years, silver has been regarded as a form of money and store of value around the world.

The extraordinarily bullish fundamentals of the silver market suggest that, at current prices, silver could offer one of the single best long-term options today.  We believe that every portfolio should include silver, especially at current market prices.

There are various ways of acquiring silver, but at Superior Gold Group we focus and specialize in the purchasing and selling of numismatic silver coins (of or relating to coins or currency), Pre-1933 silver coins and silver bullion.

Price of SILVER

What is going to drive up the price of SILVER?

  • Between July 1, 2003 and November 30, 2006, the price of gold increased approximately 84%, while the price of silver increased more than 200%.
  • Industrial demand is driving price. The use of silver in items such as electrical appliances a nd medical products has increased since 2001. New applications for silver are being explored in batteries, superconductors and microcircuits, which may further increase demand.
  • With the U.S. economy not acting decisively, we have already assisted clients with moving their money out of the stock and real estate markets and putting it into safer vehicles. One of those options, as it has historically been, is precious

    metals such as gold and silver.
  • Just as with gold, the dropping dollar, global demand and soaring oil prices have all played a role in silver’s increased desirability.

Silver’s Additional Uses

The demand for silver comes primarily from three areas; industrial uses, jewelry and silverware, and photography. These industries represent the majority of annual silver consumption. Silver’s superior properties make it a highly desirable industrial component in manufactured products. Silver’s artistic beauty and status make it one of the most romantic and sought after precious metals.

Silver’s Future

Worldwide market demand for silver is growing, while supplies of silver are quickly disappearing. New high-tech uses for silver will further strain already-tight supplies in the future. World demand for silver now exceeds annual production and has every year since 1990, depleting aboveground stockpiles of silver.

Silver in the Model Portfolio

In a typical precious metals portfolio, Superior Gold Group recommends 20% in silver bullion.  And of the 20%, we recommend 60% in Pre-1933 silver.  Portfolios less than $100,000 USD should consider a different exposure level to silver.  Superior Gold Group can guide you on the best way to buy silver bullion.
