From one of the world's most respected authorities on precious metals investment-a thoroughly researched volume on the investment prospects for silver, the other gold. Gold, outperforming stocks for over a decade, has finally been recognized as a serious asset class to be included in any solid, diversified investment portfolio. But silver, which which has been moving in the same direction as its sister metal for forty years-and actually outperforming gold over the last ten years-has yet to be taken seriously in the investment world. Shayne McGuire examines current global financial conditions in order to provide a full and frank assessment of present and future opportunities for investors who may be considering buying silver.
