re silver, just a suggestion- avoid paper silver and try and get the physical if you can. Physical silver can't be manipulated, taxed, confiscated(by gov't), nor lost in a bankruptcy. Don't expect to buy it (physical) at the paper spot price as no one has any to sell at that price. Premiums over spot are anywhere from $4 to $10 currently. The physical market and the paper market have definately separated. AIG who is now in trouble lost a bundle earlier this year when they exited the silver market. They were a big short seller and had to cover to exit the PM markets. It was the start of their current troubles. FWIW
