<prompt> Human: I know silver buying isnt deemed a worthwhile investment around here, as its an unproductive investment. However, theres much speculation that this year the price of silver will sky rocket given the supply doesnt match the demand as well as it did years ago, and the worlds economy. Theres plenty of reason to believe that silver prices will at least go up from where they are now, which is quite low currently 15.46oz. Say I spend 300 on silver, and then by the end of the year the price goes up to 30oz, then I can sell and double my investment. I understand its a shaky market and Im essentially betting my money that it will be worth more in 6 months. But it cant be any worse than taking that 300 and playing it on a few hands of blackjack.Given that, is it worth at least an experiment of investing a few hundred dollars I have in savings? If it fails, lesson learned and Ill get back close to what I invested initially. If the predictions are right, then Ive successfully made money. Anyone have good experience doing such a thing?
