re: Buying Silver?

I bought 60 Eagles about 6 months ago from apmex. Very happy with the ease of purchase, but will likely be disappointed if I ever want to unload them.

The thing is, with the premium you pay buying coupled with the discount you're forced to sell at the spot needs to move a good bit to actually make any money. It's just so much easier to get some yield somewhere else IMO.

I bought to hold pretty much "forever" (unless something crazy happens of course, like it goes above $100/ounce) and plan to give them to my future kids because I hope they'll think they're cool. Haha. That and I had a $100 credit that was going to expire on ebay and didn't really have anything else in mind to buy.

I bought 3 tubes of 20, and was happy how they were packaged, etc.
