Historical silver performance\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Silver is not a get-rich-quick investment. It tends to far underperform traditional stocks over the long term. Since 1921, silver has declined around 96% against the S&P 500. In other words, if you had invested the same amount of money in both stocks and silver at the same time, your silver would now be worth 96% less than your stocks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Instead, silver is considered a comparatively safe and reliable asset that can help you to preserve the value of your money. You\u2019ll sometimes hear it described as a \u201cstore of value.\u201d It tends to retain its value during periods of inflation\u2014so converting your money into silver is something like a cryogenic chamber to store your funds when inflation is weighing on your mind.<\/p>\n

Silver tends to be more volatile than gold. While gold is largely used as a store of value, silver is also widely used in industry (think electronics, medical devices, etc.). This means the value of silver is more directly susceptible to industry demands.<\/p>\n
