    This question needs a poll.

    I guess so.

    One could argue that since gold is sold in small fractions (1/10 oz, etc) you could buy small amounts... however, premiums are still higher for gold than, say, junk silver.

    Do you guys think we saw the bottom of AU & AG a couple weeks ago? Now we're on the up swing?

    Silver's anti-microbial properties are only now being commercially exploited - and it is growing fast. It could mean significant gains in the near future. Cheers, RickO

    But of course, like all fair deals...

    I bought it back for over $200 when he needed the money.

    Probably more a medium of exchange for currency than a poor man's gold. More like a smart man's "hiding place for money", from his wife image

    An acquaintance used the term recently and based on the price per ounce it sorta makes sense to me. FWIW, I'm a poorer man at the moment for the gold I own as opposed to the silver I own.

    It's a highly speculative thinly traded metal. I've seen people jump on board on the way up only to not be able to handle the price action on the way down and then capitulate. Some get sucked in because they think they are getting more bang for their buck over gold. More ounces in their hand and easier to buy in small increments.

    Is copper the poor man's silver?

    The Nat'l avg. household income is $51,000. For around $20.00 anyone can pretty much afford an oz. of silver on any given day. That can not be said for gold, ($1,3xx.00) not even close.

    I think that cements Silver as "Poor mans Gold"

    Also-

    I think Rich men know this, & buy Silver in bulk then sell it to poor men & become richer.

    I'd agree. Especially since the spot prices of the 2 seem to often move in the same direction.

    I'm expecting an upswing in both in the coming months.

    No, Aluminum Cans are the poor mans Gold

    Silver is a slightly less poor mans Gold

    but Gold is always going to be Gold whether you rich or poor

    TwoSides, I have really started to embrace the 10 oz bars. I just bought 2 of the snake ones last week for $1.09 over spot from GM.
