When is the best time to buy precious metals?

Trying to figure out the best time to buy precious metals is one of the most common questions I get.
• “The price has dropped a couple of percent … surely this is the perfect time to buy?”
• “Prices have been stagnant; surely this means silver and gold are consolidating and prices are about to explode so should I buy now?”
• “Prices are running, and the rand is weak … should I pull the trigger now or wait for prices to retract?”
• “Do you think I should wait for silver coins to drop to below R600 per ounce before I buy?”

These are just a few variations of the same question. How would you answer this question? My answer is the same every time! Read more here: https://www.silver-sphere.co.za/whats-my-most-asked-question/

New blog post by Dr Zoltan Erdey - Are we really off the gold standard?

The US dollar, which was backed by gold (at least to some extent) became a floating currency, anchored to nothing. Several other global currencies that also left the gold standard behind were pegged to the dollar and became floating currencies by virtue of their connection to the dollar. The anchor of silver and gold changed to the anchor of a promise and oil. The security of real money with intrinsic value became a currency with value by virtue of government declaration or fiat. Counterparty risk now characterised the entire global financial system...

https://www.silver-sphere.co.za/saving-and-investing-in-a-paper-fiat-system/

Whether we like it or not, we live in a fiat monetary system. Unless you are in your late 60s, you have only ever used fiat currencies. Gone are the days when the change in your pocket was actual silver. Gone are the days when paper money was as good as gold. Even more sobering is the diminishing number of people who use cash in their daily purchases. In fact, there are some who use cash so rarely that they are unaware that there are new currency notes circulating. In this economic system of floating currencies and fiscal debasement, inflation is an inevitable part of life. Those who work the system and create debt are at an advantage, while those who save are punished. Have you ever thought about the degree to which a fiat currency system discourages saving? Or, how onerous it is to figure out how to invest your hard-earned currency in a bid to secure your future in such a paper scheme?

Whether we like it or not, we live in a fiat monetary system. Unless you are in your late 60s, you have only ever used fiat currencies. Gone are the days when the change in your pocket was actual physical silver. Gone are the days when paper money was as good as gold. Even more

The Concept of Saving for Retirement

Saving for retirement is that fuzzy concept that exists in the back-corridors of your mind when you are young. You hear “older” people talk about it; some with fondness and excitement, while others with some fear and trepidation.

As you start your professional career, maybe start a family, and even buy a home, the concept starts to become less fuzzy. But still, its realism and importance do not quite crystalise for years to come.

But then, suddenly, after the “optimum retirement saving years” are in the review mirror, many find themselves with perfectly clear vision in which retirement is now in sharp focus. It’s alarming to realise suddenly that you are over 50, with no retirement savings, and only 144 monthly paychecks left to save or invest for 200 months of retirement.
