I'll clarify what silver investment is, why it's a can invest in, and how to invest in silver—or rather, what silver investment methods most people don't know. So grab your coffee and let's get started! First, what is silver investment? Simply put, my millionaire friend, investing in silver is just like investing in gold. Silver is a precious metal with market value. You invest in silver to protect the value of your money from inflation or to profit when its price rises. But strangely, despite being a precious metal, silver was neglected by a large segment of investors for many years for various reasons. For example, everyone was focused on gold as a safe haven during crises. Large investors preferred to pour their investments into gold instead of silver, which kept the demand for silver low, resulting in lower returns. It was very weak for long periods, meaning you could say its price wasn't moving well enough to generate attractive returns for investors. Besides, most people didn't see silver as an investment asset; on the contrary, they saw it as just a decorative metal. So why is investing in silver now, specifically, a successful investment? Well, silver this year has been one of the most successful investments, achieving gains of more than 80% in this year alone. Two main reasons made silver achieve these rates this year. First, global demand for silver for investment purposes increased. This is because, as we mentioned, silver is an investment vehicle, just like gold, protecting money from inflation. Also, due to the geopolitical fluctuations happening all over the world, especially in America, it was natural for investor demand to increase in this way. From the beginning of the year until today, about 100 million ounces of silver have entered exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which is obviously an unusual rate. This reflects the investors' interest in buying silver. As you know from following me, my millionaire friend, the more demand there is for a particular asset, the more its value increases. The second reason is that silver is a very important industrial metal used in many technological industries, such as solar panels and electric car batteries, which are becoming more and more widespread globally. This is what has caused the demand for silver to exceed the supply by more than 678 million ounces. Naturally, as the need for silver in industries worldwide increases, its price will continue to rise. Perhaps at a certain point—God knows exactly when—the supply of silver will decrease significantly, making it a rare metal, just like gold. Now, let's address the question: what types of silver can you invest in? Before I tell you, I advise you to previous and upcoming videos. Also, activate the bell icon and like the video so it reaches as many people as possible. Everyone benefits from it. Silver is divided into different types depending on its purity, manufacturing method, and use. The most important types are listed below. The first type is pure silver, which has a purity of 99.99%, which has a purity of 99.99%, or 999. This is considered the purest type of silver. It is very soft and easily scratched, which is why it's not widely used in jewelry. However, it is used for investment purposes, such as in bars, coins, or small ingots ranging from 1 gram to 15 kilograms. The second type is known as British silver, second type is known as British silver, which has a purity of 95.88%, or 958. It is used in fine jewelry, coins, and antiques, and is characterized by its high luster and higher market value. The third type is known as sterling silver, which is the most widely used type in the world. Its silver content, or purity, is 92.5%. Half percent means silver content, or purity, is 92.5%. Half percent means 925 purity, and of course, it is more durable, so it is used in the manufacture of silver jewelry and watches. Whether you buy silver bullion or ornaments, you must pay very close attention to the purity written on it. Of course, you will now ask me how to invest in silver. Before I tell you these methods, let me compare silver and gold for you so that you can choose what is most suitable for you. Both, as we said, are precious metals that protect your money from inflation and increase its value, so you profit from them. If you want to know more about investing in gold, then go back to this video, and I will leave you its link in the video description. The important thing is that what distinguishes silver from gold, according to all economic experts, is that it is currently considered to be undervalued . If we go back in history a little, we will find that the value of silver was indeed less than gold, but not to the same degree. The biggest proof of Dot is the scammer who claims to be smart about silver and gold. The minimum amount for zakat on gold is approximately 85 grams, and the minimum amount for zakat on silver is 595 grams. Gold is approximately seven times that of silver. I saw seven times, not 86 times like now, so this means that the large gap between gold and silver is a recent phenomenon resulting from the weight gold has gained in terms of government and investor confidence. Therefore, my advice to you is to make silver a fundamental element in your investment portfolio because what you buy today you won't necessarily be able to buy tomorrow. Now, let's go back to the ways you can invest in silver. The first way is investing in silver jewelry, but I personally don't recommend this method because the manufacturing costs are very high, sometimes even exceeding the price of a gram of silver itself. The second way is trading in silver funds, which come in three types. The first type invests directly in silver, buying and holding it in large quantities. The second type invests in the shares of silver mining companies. The third type is mixed funds that invest in both, meaning the same fund... He invests in the shares of silver mining companies and at the same time buys the silver itself. The third way is to invest in bullion, which you can buy from gold shops or even online from the websites of well-known and trusted companies in your country that sell gold. Of course, the bullion must be stamped, and it is best if it is 999 and 9 carats. Yes, the disadvantage of this method is that you will need to buy, store, and secure the silver that you bought yourself, especially since silver is in very large quantities, unlike gold, because you can buy a kilo of silver for the same price as a gold bullion. So imagine with me now, if you had entered the gold market 20 years ago, where would you be now? So why not start today by investing in silver, which may be the gold of the future? What do you think? And that's it. may be the gold of the future? What do you think? And that's it.
