Notes -
Do you intend to acquire more silver bullion? What proportion of your holdings is in this form?
This conversation is partially inspired by a relative of mine, who is holding several thousands of dollars in the form of wads of cash, stashed behind a bureau in his house. I told him that I thought this may be the very worst method possible of storing one's wealth, and advised him to at least go buy some gold that he could hide more securely.
I have more wealth in stock than in bullion. I will probably acquire more now and again, but it’s not a main investment strategy.
The exception would be signs of genuine near term impending hyperinflation- in such a case I would buy a lot of silver bullion, because it’s easy to convert back into cash and anything is better than holding cash in that scenario.
Wads of cash is, agreed, not a good way to hold money.
