In fact, here in my country it is a very lucrative business. Of all the people who have bought at one time or another, today they make a considerable profit. I have a relative who has a good amount of money just in profits, from a quantity of silver that he had partly inherited and partly bought.Getting real silver at its market place, and buying at the affordable price, its a welcomed one. Silver appreciates as time goes, just like Gold, it is hardly the value drops down so low, lower than what you bought it.
