I'm a Boglehead Who Stacks Silver. Here's How I Justify It.

I'm an index fund investor. Low costs, broad diversification, stay the course. And I stack silver. Those two things aren't supposed to go together — so let me explain exactly how I think about it.

I Finally Understand Why Everyone Buys Silver Buffalo Rounds

Buffalo rounds are always the cheapest silver on the page and I always scrolled past them. After digging into the history, I get it now — and the story behind the actual bison on the coin is one of the stranger things I've come across.

$100 a Month Into Silver for 20 Years — Here's What Happened

I ran the actual numbers on what $100 a month would get you in gold, silver, and the S&P 500 — across four different time windows, using real monthly historical prices, with dividends reinvested on the stock side. The results surprised me.

Silver Price Prediction 2027 and 2031

Silver is at $81. Here's where I think it goes — one year and five years out — based on the supply deficit, industrial demand, the macro picture, and what the major institutions are actually saying. A reasoned case, not a guarantee.

Why Every Portfolio Should Have Some Gold and Silver

Ray Dalio recommends 5–15% in gold. Morgan Stanley's CIO recently recommended moving to a 60/20/20 model — 60% stocks, 20% bonds, 20% precious metals. These aren't fringe voices. Here's the actual argument.

Stop Buying Silver When Everyone Else Is Buying Silver

There's a specific set of conditions where buying silver almost guarantees you'll overpay — and it has nothing to do with which coin you picked. It's about when you bought it.

Silver Just Had Its Best Week of the Year

Silver jumped 10.7% in a single week — from $73.66 to $81.57 — on the back of a hot CPI print and US-Iran ceasefire news. Two completely different catalysts, both pushing in the same direction. Here's what it means.

The Fractional Gold Trap

Gold is near $5,000 an ounce, so a lot of people are buying fractional gold — 1/10 oz and 1/4 oz American Gold Eagles — because that's what they can afford. There's a hidden cost nobody talks about upfront.

Silver Coins Ranked

Not all silver coins cost the same over spot. I rank the coins in my own stack by premium — from cheapest generic rounds to the most expensive government coins — and tell you which ones actually make sense to buy.

You Should Own Physical Gold

Everyone says GLD is the smarter way to own gold — cheaper, easier, no storage hassle. They have a point. But there's one thing the comparison articles don't mention.

Silver near all-time highs means every dollar of premium matters. Here's the complete guide to buying physical silver at the lowest possible price — premiums, product types, the best dealers, and the checkout tricks most people miss.

I Was a Gold-Only Investor — Here's Why I Started Buying Silver

I used to think silver was pointless — gold was simpler, more efficient, easier to store. So why did I start buying silver? Three things changed my mind, and none of them were 'silver is going to the moon.'

Copper Rounds Have a 2,700% Premium

Everyone thinks copper is the cheapest way to get into physical metals. When you run the actual numbers, it's one of the worst value propositions in the entire metals space.

Is It Too Late to Buy Silver? (Most People Are Missing This)

Everyone asking 'is it too late?' is focused on the monetary metal story — inflation, the dollar, safe haven demand. That's real. But there's a second story running underneath it that most people aren't thinking about at all.

Why I Started Stacking

I'm a Boglehead. Index funds, low costs, stay the course — that was my entire investing philosophy. I never thought I'd buy a single ounce of gold. Here's what changed.
