What's the most important piece of investment wisdom a person can ever learn? As Warren Buffet says, " Be fearful when others are greedy; be greedy when others are fearful". In other words, do not buy something when it's popular or hot or when a lot of others are buying it. For example, a mining stock may be at a low level for many months. Then suddenly an announcement is made about a new discovery. The stock jumps with high volume. Buyers flood in, driving the price higher. Within a short period of time, the price starts to recede. Those that bought at the top now have a loss. The time to have bought was when the company was invisible and unknown. It was a bad move to buy it on the good news when investors were flooding in. (Much like our real estate bubble and burst scenario of today and the past couple of years.) This describes the story of silver. For the most part, investors are unaware of silver. It's not very popular and the price is not running away. Wall Streeters turn their nose up at it. Most people don't entertain silver as an addition for their portfolio. Ah, therein lies a secret to wise investors. Now is the time to buy silver. There are several factors that could affect the future price of silver. According to one of silver's foremost analysts, Ted Butler, there is four (4) times more gold than silver in the world since silver has been mostly "used up" as an industrial metal. If you were to put all the silver available today into one big cube, it would only measure 37 feet x 37 feet by 37 feet - far less than most people think. Currently, only about 4% of the population owns precious metals. What if the other 96% of the people decide they want to own silver? What do you think would happen to the price of silver? Another big factor is the impact of the new buying spree by the Chinese people. For 60 years, the largest population on the face of the earth was forbidden to own silver. Now, not only are the Chinese public allowed to own silver, there are TV commercials being run in China encouraging people to own silver. It is significant to know that no one runs TV commercials in China without government approval. China has been on a natural resource buying binge. They have hoarded their entire domestic gold production for five years. China is the dominant world refiner of silver from concentrates, ores and scraps. It is only logical to think that China might keep the silver bullion they have refined within China, especially at these current depressed prices. If more is kept in China, do you think that might impact future silver prices?  Now is the time to invest in silver. http://vitalviralpro.com/m/45543 Michael Camire BizVentures5000.com
