What are you buying me for my birthday?

Don’t worry you’ve got another four months before it’s here, but you really should start thinking about it from now. It’s a special one… shhh the big four owwww. I personally would like some diamonds, as it’s my birthstone, however I will be just as enthralled if you would buy me a 1000 ounce bar of silver bullion. I think that someone as nice as me deserves something special like that.
You see, under certain circumstances, I believe in hedging (investing in the future) and according to certain experts, there isn’t but 300 million ounces of the stuff left above ground, so year on year, the price of silver is on the rise, you get what I mean? Yep, given the underlying rise in price over the past 5 years, and that silver is in finite supply, by the time I am ready to retire, that bar that you are gonna buy me will fetch a pretty nifty price, giving me a nice little nest egg to be going on with.

Not being funny, but if you think you may want purchase more of the precious stuff for yourself (in addition to the one you’re going to buy for me) there are even ways to get you hands on it using OPM (other peoples money). Perhaps you should think about buying that the silver bullion right now, after all, why wait?. You see annual demand currently outstrips production, which only means the longer you wait the more you will have to pay. Moreover, birthdays tend to roll around quicker than you think.
