I am a Luddite regarding how to make a "main" post. So I will put this here. Silver is climbing steadily, it was waffling for awhile, but I have been buying it and investing in it as my main savings account for 20 years, and I see the trend now as a steady climb. I would advise getting some now if you can, the trend is looking good. It is almost at 25.00 and ounce, up from 18.00 a couple months ago, the climb is steady, and still small. Be cautious, of course, I prefer to buy on the down, but I don't think it's going to be going that way for awhile. Just watch the charts and see for yourself, just search silver spot price today.
