Silver, why silver? Why not gold or collectables or blue chip stocks? Why should I invest in silver?

Come along on this journey. We will explore why silver is the best investment out there and one of the most secure. We will explore the many reasons why silver could quite possibly make you a millionaire.

The book begins with some common sense advice that all hard working folks who go to work every day to support their families should know. We go into the history of money and how throughout recorded history silver and gold were used as currency until the very recent creation of paper money. Paper money is losing its value at an alarming rate as it is no longer backed by anything tangible. When you place your savings in paper it is a guarantee that it will buy less and less every day. You may earn interest on it and you may think you are staying ahead, but inflation is much higher despite what they tell us.

So why is silver the answer? First, unlike gold, silver is both a precious metal and an industrial metal. Its uses in industry are numerous from computers to cell phones, photography to health care.
