Wisely Avoid Paper Silver Fraud

Most silver investors are still deceived by "paper silver". Over 99% of silver investments are paper silver, rather than real silver.

If the dollar amounts were represented 1 to 1 by people, then, very few silver investors (1%) have the discernment and wisdom to avoid the paper silver frauds. But fortunately, the wise investors are probably a bit more numerous, since many individual people are not "sophisticated" or rich enough to get trapped by the offers of paper silver.

I've had quite a few discussions with people about this, so let me see if I can help.

Many people justify paper silver, saying, "it's cheaper". Sure it is. That's the point! How else would they convince you to buy it? They can't float on your money if they charge you higher than normal premiums! Look, I can sell you all the silver you like at 5% UNDER SPOT or even 10% UNDER SPOT, if you promise to never take delivery, and never sell. (NOT REALLY, because I'm honest!) What will it take for people to realize that such offers are totally fraudulent? (more)
