SILVER
HISTORY AND DEMAND
When it comes to making investments, silver has similar characteristics and reasons to invest when looking at gold. It’s often referred to as “poor man’s gold,” but currently is more popular, more attractive, and more functional than any of the other precious metals. Since its all-time high in 1980, the market supply has been scarce and is a small fraction of what it once was.
The rise of technology in the 21st century has spurred a great deal of silver demand due to its unique properties. Silver has the highest electrical conductivity, highest thermal conductivity, and the highest light reflectance of any element. So, when it comes to its invaluable industrial and medical applications – including solder and brazing alloys, batteries, dentistry, glass coatings, LED chips, medicine, nuclear reactors, photography, photovoltaic (solar panels) energy, RFID chips, semiconductors, touch screens, water purification, wood preservatives, anti-bacterial uses and hundreds of other uses – silver does indeed become a very attractive investment.
