Benefits Of Buying Silver.

Since the beginning of the revolutions in the Middle East and North Africa, the prices for precious metals are steadily increasing. Especially silver has risen in price: 20% from the beginning of the year.

Since late 2008, the value of silver has increased in four times already and at the beginning of April reached 37.4 dollars per ounce. Only on the basis of 2011 the prices for this precious metal rose by almost 83%. Such vigorous dynamics is associated not only with the global investor interest in precious metals, but also the fact that silver is being actively used in industry now.

But despite a record increase in the cost of the metal, the bankers are convinced that investing money in it is still profitable. Projections for this year’s price of silver remain positive. Rising prices will continue this year. According to international analysts, the price of silver may rise to 46-50 dollars per ounce on world markets. The data from the survey conducted by Bloomberg also suggest that the silver in 2011 will be a leader of the rise in prices of various raw materials.

There are three main ways of investment in silver: buying silver bullions for self-storage and buying silver with simultaneous placing on current or deposit account at the bank. However, note that the difference between bid and ask prices of small bars in the banks can reach 25-30%. And the only consignments of silver from one kilogram can be beneficial for investors in the event of a price increase to the level promised by analysts. Additional profits can be obtained by placing silver on deposit in the bank.

Silver will always be in demand since it is used in many industries and its stocks are gradually exhausted. In summary it can be argued that investing in silver is promising to keep savings in the long run.
