I am somewhat of a silver bug. Once you get the “bug” you will find yourself cutting back on wasteful things in order to invest in your next silver purchase...seems I can’t buy it fast enough!
I buy silver from APMEX and Provident Metals. Apmex seems to be the “best” when it comes to shipping times but are slightly higher than Provident. Provident has the best prices between the two but orders may take 10 days or so to arrive (Provident also has cheaper shipping).
I am not into “junk silver” but instead purchase bullion in weights mainly from 1 oz to 10 ounces.

Outside of metals I don’t pay much attention to the stock market but do sell some stock off when it’s time for profit taking. The metals I am accumulating are 50% investment and 50% peace of mind for me. I may make money off them and I may not, however it nice knowing you have something that is physical vs paper and I am distracted by the beautiful shiny stuff!
On the investment side the wife and I have some healthcare stock that we invested in 2 years ago and it seems I can’t sell it fast enough. Purchased 2000 shares at $17.80/ share and have been selling all the way up to it’s current $42.xx per share price. Still have roughly 1000 shares left and am thinking of dumping it and using the proceeds to buy more PM’S (precious metals).
