- Video from The Economic Ninja: Why I am pivoting from Silver investing into something else. JWR’s Comments: I’m glad to see that he agrees with my advice on recouping your original investment cost, during a rally. Rather than Bitcoin, I recommend pivoting into other tangibles, most notably, paying off your home and retreat property mortgages. Most of us have already recouped 25% or more of our silver purchase cost. When silver hits $95 per Troy ounce again, then that woudl be a good opportunity to recoup another 25%. But plan to keep at least one-third of your silver as a long-term (multigenerational) hedge on the purchasing power of the U.S. Dollar. You have fire insurance on your house. But you also need “fire insurance” on the Dollar. If you don’t already hold some silver, then the recent dip below $70/oz. might be a good opportunity. I’m confident that $85 will become the new floor for silver within a few weeks. And of course, you can also acquire still U.S. Nickels in bulk, at face value. That is a hedge with no downside risk.
