Top 10 Reasons To Buy Silver

1.  Moving into True Money

         Would you convert your labor into Depreciating Fiat Paper or into an appreciating tangible asset with intrinsic value?  

Silver offers the opportunity to move into true money, an actual store of value, with the potential for substantial gains in future years as its current cycle continues.  Protect yourself and your family by acquiring silver with intrinsic value and insulate yourself from the wealth destructive policies of central bankers.

In Mike's words: “Gold and silver have revalued themselves throughout the centuries and called on fiat paper to account for itself.” (Page 202 Of Guide To Investing In Gold And Silver)  

If history serves as any reference, we are poised to repeat the accounting of the Depression Era and the 70's which put precious metal holder's on top.

2.  The Common Man's Gold 

The acquisition of silver is much more attainable for global populations compared to gold.  As silver prices continue to rise, investor’s will further shift away from real estate, stocks, and bonds. 

The affordability of silver is poised to make it "common man's gold" as it begins to make news and involvement becomes widespread.  

3.  The Ultimate Insurance Policy

Throughout the last thousand years of history, most episodes of printing have been followed by pronounced periods of inflation or even extreme cases of hyper-inflation, either severely destabilizing the nation’s political stability or culminating in warfare, dictatorships, or a political collapse.   

A simple glance will quickly reveal that those who capitalized off these unique periods were holders of monetary metals such as silver.  Even if you believe these possible outcomes are improbable, ownership of physical silver in the event will provide you the opportunity to not only protect your wealth but appreciate it significantly.  Like an insurance policy, while the event probability is low, when fire strikes the benefits largely outweigh the cost.  

At the current silver price level, the cost of insurance is tremendously cheap in relation to the wealth it would conserve if history does in fact repeat itself.

 4. Silver:  Much more than a Monetary Metal - Industrial & Medical Applications
                Unlike gold, silver has hundreds of industrial and medical applications and its usage is on the rise.  Silver’s molecular arrangement and chemical properties make distinctly unique among earth's elements.  In Mike’s words:  

“Of all the elements, silver is the indispensable metal.  It is the most electronically conducive, thermally conductive, and reflective.  Modern life, as we know it, would not exist without silver.“ (Page 128 Of Guide To Investing In Gold And Silver)

In the last two decades alone, usage has increased substantially to include an array of electronic and digital products, medical appliances due to its anti-microbial properties, and even clothing.   Product such as cellphones, cameras, laptops, mirrors, monitors, etc. all contain trace amounts of silver which is never replenished or returned to stockpiles.  As our information age progresses and silver’s chemical uniqueness is more fully understood, demand for this irreplaceable metal will only continue to rise. 

 6. Uncertainties in Future Supply

The majority of the world’s silver comes from nations marked with political turmoil, labor unrest, and undeveloped economies.   Mexico and Peru account for the largest share of production, both of which have fragile political systems and primitive infrastructures to accommodate significant improvements in production.  

Several Southeast Asian nations are also included in this list, and present similar issues with regard to the consistency of supply.  Geopolitical instability can quickly induce nationalizations (most recently in Bolivia), labor strikes , or poor infrastructures (accounts for high rates of flooding, fires, engineering mishaps, etc.) which can be have significant strains on supply.  

7.  Emerging World Demand 

China and India represent two behemoth markets where populations have shown a tremendous appetite for gold and silver.  An awakening of emerging market investment demand will contribute to a new demand dynamic for physical silver bullion.  

Supportive of the monetary aspects are some of the largest untapped markets for consumer electronic and industrial usages.  Within the next decades, demand for appliances and technologies which require silver from developing nations is set to rise.    

 8. End of Manipulation

The most evident form of pricing manipulation on the silver front occurs through the derivative futures contracts traded at the COMEX.  The amount of ounces traded on an average day typically exceeds the ounces of investment grade silver available by several factors.

9.  The Paper Funds Exposed 

While futures pricing manipulation gives institutional banks a means for price suppression, the ETFs and other paper derivatives have now involved the public in these mechanisms.  These instruments funnel demand away from what would be geared as deliverable silver and into non-redeemable paper in the form of a prospectus or stock certificate. 

It is not coincidental that over the last decade, dozens of ETFs, pools, certificates, etc. which have emerged are now being marketed for their accessibility and convenience to the retail investor.   Make no mistake, these funds are merely paper and the ETF campaign has been largely successful in placing millions of novice investors in funds they truly do not understand. Therefore, acquiring tangible metals and truly protecting yourself is never more than a few clicks away .

10.  Gold to Silver Ratio

Finally, the most enduring and lasting indicator of suppression has been the gold to silver ratio.  While this ratio has historically oscillated throughout the last 2000 years, it has always revert back to its historical average of 12 to 1.    Consider the tremendous upside potential for a silver investor purchasing silver with the ratio at these levels.  The current affordability of silver makes it one of the most undervalued assets in recent history.

Spiritual Effect of Wearing Jewelry

Wearing jewellery

Many people of various cultures wear jewellery on a daily basis and some jewellery can carry significant meaning, e.g. if it is an heirloom passed on within the family. While we often think of women wearing jewellery, it is also common for men to wear rings and bracelets. When we look back in history, we can see that various types of jewellery made of different metals and gems have been worn by people of different civilizations. We were curious as to why people wear jewellery and whether people wear jewellery for reasons other than the aesthetic appeal.

At SSRF we have conducted spiritual research which revealed that a person can obtain spiritual benefit from wearing jewellery. These benefits include allowing the person to imbibe Divine consciousness (Chaitanya), reducing the black energy in the body, giving protection from attacks of negative energies (ghosts, demons, devils etc.) as well as spiritual healing through acupressure therapy.

Purification of jewellery

Black energy : The primary weapon used by negative energies is black energy which is a spiritual energy capable of manipulating any process on the Earth plane. The extent of this manipulation depends on the strength of the attacking negative energy.

The jewellery that we wear is effective in protecting us from the attacks of negative energies (ghosts, demons, devils etc.). When negative energies (ghosts, demons, devils etc.) try to attack us with their black energy, they first attack the jewellery that we wear before affecting us directly. Due to this, it is important to regularly purify the jewellery we wear to remove the black energy.

There are various ways that we can spiritually purify jewellery using the five Cosmic Principles.

Absolute Fire Principle: Holy ash (Vibhūti)  from SSRF incense-sticks can be applied to the jewellery from all sides. Absolute Air Principle (Vāyutattva): blow holy ash from SSRF incense-sticks on the jewellery or allow the smoke of the incense-sticks to touch them.

Wearing jewellery – a spiritual perspective

From this article we explained how we can derive spiritual benefit from wearing jewellery made of sattvik material and of sattvik designs. The Divine consciousness that is imbibed by wearing sattvik jewellery helps us in our spiritual practice by allowing us to have continuous access to Divine energy. As our spiritual practice increases, the necessity of wearing jewellery decreases as we are able to attain sāttviktā and spiritual energy from our spiritual practice.  

The various types of jewellery that we wear are associated with specific parts of the body. Each part of the body is associated with a specific chakra. Divine consciousness that is activated around the body where the jewellery is worn purifies and awakens the chakra associated with that part of the body. For example if the chakra at the heart region (Anāhat-chakra)  is awakened then spiritual emotion towards God is awakened.

Another benefit to wearing jewellery includes receiving the benefit of acupressure therapy. Acupressure points in the body where the jewellery is worn are also pressed. This results in the removal of black energy in the body and enables Divine consciousness to flow freely. Physical, psychological, and spiritual distress can be alleviated through acupressure therapy.

• Wearing jewellery allows us to imbibe Divine energy, protects us from negative energies (ghosts, demons, devils etc.) and performs spiritual healing.
• The jewellery that we wear should be made of sattvik material and be of sattvik designs.
• By performing regular spiritual practice on a daily basis, we begin to grow spiritually and generate sattvik vibrations or spiritual energy within us. The necessity to wear jewellery to imbibe sattvikta then reduces.

WHY INDIAN MARRIED WOMEN WEAR TOE RINGS

TOE RINGS

                               Wearing of Toe rings is highly practiced in India. It is worn as a symbol of married state by Hindu women and is called Bichiya (pronounced: bee-chee-ya) in Hindi, Mettelu in Telugu, Metti in Tamil,Kalungura in Kannada. Toe rings (also known as bichwa) are a must for married Hindu woman. Tradition of wearing toe rings carries tremendous social significance for married women in India. Both Hindu’s and Muslim Women wear these Toe rings, as a symbol of Married state. They are usually made of silver and worn in pairs on the second toe of both feet.

 

 

Why to use only Silver toe rings and Why Not gold

                           ‘Bichiyas’ may not be made of gold, as gold holds a ‘respected’ status and may not be worn below the waist. Indians especially Hindus believe that gold is the metal of the God Lakshmi Devi, The Goddess of Wealth, and therefore they considers it inappropriate to wear gold below the waist..

Scientific and Ayurvedic Reason behind wearing Toe Rings

• Some Men frequently wore a ring on the big toe for curative purposes or to augment their masculine vigor.
• Wearing toe ring to the second toe has sexual/erotic effect.
• The reflexology texts also mention about treating gynaecological problems by massaging the second toe.
• There is also a belief that the wearing of toe rings press on certain nerves that pertain to the reproductive system, keeping it in balance and healthy.
• Ancient Ayuvedic medicine has long been used along side acupressure.
• Indians believe that your “prana” or “life force” must be in balance in order for you to stay healthy. All of the paths of your “prana” run down to your toes, so the idea that a marital symbol could double up as a reproductive enhancer is not a big stretch.
• By wearing this in both feet, it is believed, that their menstrual cycle course is regularized with even intervals. This gives good scope for conceiving to married women.
• Also it is said just because that particular nerve in the second finger from toe, also connects the other uses and passes thru heart. Because of this, the constant friction caused while walking and doing all sorts of chores during a day, it revitalizes the productivity organs.As Silver being a good conductor, it also absorbs the energy from the polar energies from the earth and passes it to the body, thus refreshing whole body system.

Thus we came to know another custom of the Indian culture and Traditions of how Wearing a toe ring deals with Acupressure and women issues.

HOW TO INVEST IN SILVER

                          

                       Unlike gold, which is available in the form of exchange traded funds, you can buy silver only from a bank or a jeweller. Silver coins from banks are expensive as they include charges for the tamper-proof packing and an assay certificate.

A 50-gm silver coin of 24 carat purity from HDFC Bank costs Rs. 3,220, but the same coin from a jeweller costs Rs. 2,500 in Chennai (as of January 14). Jewellers levy casting charges (around Rs. 1,750/kg) apart from a 1 per cent sales tax.

Buying silver in the form of jewellery or artefacts is, however, far more expensive than buying coins. These suffer a making charge of 10 per cent or more and a melting charge of 15 per cent upwards at the time of resale, which lowers effective returns.

You can buy silver in the commodity futures exchange too, but the contract sizes are large. The smallest contract in silver (silver micro) is traded in units of 1 kg and delivered in minimum lots of 30 kg.

The initial margin one would have to pay when taking a position is 5 per cent - Rs. 2,200. This apart, you will pay brokerage, STT, stamp duty and exchange levy, working out to another Rs. 200-250. If you don’t intend to take delivery, you can roll over the contract, but the mark-to-market margins can be significant.

There is no silver ETF in India. Buying silver in the electronic spot market is also ruled out with the National Spot Exchange shut. The only other option for investing in silver is to buy silver ETFs listed in the US market. For this you need to first open an account with a stock broker who offers a platform to invest in global stock markets.

However, remember that silver doesn’t offer the haven qualities of gold because of its industrial character.

Chirag Mehta, Fund Manager-Commodities of Quantum Mutual Fund, says “Silver isn’t a good investment option for the layman. Half of global silver demand originates from industrial uses. Thus, it has a tendency to move with equities and perform badly when things turn difficult. In terms of return characteristics, silver is half copper and half gold. It is a risky bet compared with gold.”

                Silver is down, should you invest in it now?

                The year 2013 was bad for bullion and it may perform poorly in 2014 as well. However, there is likely to be a divergence in the performance of gold and silver. Last year, as growth prospects and risk appetite improved, investors opted for equities in the developed market while dumping silver and gold.

The expectations of tapering of the stimulus programme by the US Fed, and the resultant strengthening of the US dollar and hardening of interest rates in the US, also contributed to bullion's poor performance. As these trends are likely to continue this year, gold may remain under pressure.

However, industrial demand may prove to be the saving grace for silver. Most base metals have already begun to rally in anticipation of a global recovery. Silver's undervaluation vis-a-vis gold may also weigh in its favour. The gold-to-silver price ratio is currently higher than its historical average.

              

The gold-to-silver price ratio is expected to fall to 50, the long-term average, in the next 1-2 years," says Praveen Singh, senior commodities analyst, Sharekhan. If the global recovery accelerates, the fall in this ratio may be driven by the rise in silver's price. However, tapering may cause a short-term hiccup. "There is a limited downside risk for the international price of silver. While it may fall to $18 per troy ounce by March, it should rise to $25 by the end of this calendar year," says Singh. 

 

In 2013, the government raised the import duty on bullion from 2 per cent to 10 per cent to rein in the current account deficit. Later, the RBI introduced the 20:80 scheme, which mandates that 20 per cent of imported gold must be re-exported.

However, it did not place this curb on silver, which explains why its import is surging. In October, silver imports rose to 338 tonne from 241 tonne in September. For the entire 2013, silver imports may surpass 2008's high of 5,048 tonne. Increased imports by India may drive up silver's international price.

                                              What should investors do?

When the National Spot Exchange Limited (NSEL) introduced bullion investing in demat form (e-series), it caught on since only gold was available in the demat form as exchange traded funds (ETFs). The NSEL fiasco has come as a setback for e-series investors. "It was a good concept but was not implemented properly," says C P Krishnan, director, Geojit Comtrade.

Physical delivery and cash settlement of e-series can't take place till the forensic audit by the Forward Markets Commission, as mandated by the high court, is complete. The probability of Sebi giving its consent to silver ETFs in the near future is low, while trading in e-series may also not restart soon.

Silver futures on the commodity exchanges are short-term contracts, better suited to speculators. Hence, longterm silver investors have no option but to buy the commodity in the physical form, which entails higher costs. Still, given the prospects of gold, it may not be a bad idea to invest in silver.

                                                      4 tips for silver investors

BUY BARS

Invest only in the standard 1 kg bar (0.999 purity), not in silver ornaments. The purity of bars is assured and stamped, while that of silverware and ornaments depends on the jeweller you buy these from. You also have to pay making charges for jewellery. This is what you lose out on when you try to sell jewellery and can avoid it by buying bars instead.

BEWARE OF TARNISH

Silver is bulkier than gold and takes up more space in the locker. In fact, the 1 kg silver bar may not fit into small-sized bank lockers. You also need to store silver in airtight bags or it will oxidise and get tarnished. Though this affects only the surface, tarnished silver fetches a lower price.

STORAGE ISSUES

The investors who buy from commodity exchanges can leave silver in the certified vault. This takes care of storage problems, but you will have to pay additional charges for this facility. If you take physical delivery, you will have to get the metal certified again before you can sell it back, even if silver is in a tamper-proof pack.

STRIKE DEAL TO SELL

If you want to sell silver back to the jeweller, he will offer a discounted rate. The discount is higher if you buy it from another jeweller. To avoid this problem, strike a deal at the time of purchase that the jeweller will buy back silver at a reasonable discount at a later date.

HOW TO IDENTIFY GOOD QUALITY SILVER....

Pure silver, also called fine silver, is relatively soft, very malleable, and easily damaged so it is commonly combined with other metals to produce a more durable product. The most popular of these alloys is sterling silver, which consists of 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent copper.
Although any metal can make up the 7.5 percent non-silver portion of sterling, centuries of experimentation have shown copper to be its best companion, improving the metal's hardness and durability without affecting its beautiful color.
The small amount of copper added to sterling has very little effect on the metal's value. Instead, the price of the silver item is affected by the labor involved in making the item, the skill of the craftsperson, and the intricacy of the design.

Most high quality silver items are stamped with a "fineness" or "quality" mark. This mark designates the precious metal content of the jewelry, and under federal law, must be accompanied by a maker's mark or registered trademark.

Because pure silver is so soft, it should only be used when malleability is required, such as in handcrafted jewelry featuring weaving and other intricate designs.
Sterling silver is most often used for jewelry and household accessories because of its combination of beauty and durability. Acceptable quality marks for sterling silver include:

• sterling
• sterling silver
• ster
• .925

With proper care, your fine quality silver will last a lifetime. To minimize scratches and other damage, store your silver jewelry either in a cloth pouch or in a separate compartment in your jewelry box. Avoid exposing your silver to household chemicals when cleaning with bleach or ammonia, or when swimming in chlorinated water, as these chemicals can damage silver.

Care should also be taken to prevent silver tarnish build-up, a dulling that naturally occurs when silver reacts with sulfur or hydrogen sulfide in the ambient air. To clean your silver, use polishes formulated specifically to remove tarnish. You can find fine silver polishes, solutions, or cloths appropriate to remove tarnish at most hardware stores or specialty craft stores. Tarnish is most easily removed when it first becomes visible.
Although wearing your silver jewelry often is the best way to prevent tarnish from building up, regular cleanings of all your silver items will prevent tarnish and keep your silver bright and sparkling.
Look for the fineness mark and the maker's mark on the underside of the silver item you are considering to ensure the quality.
