Hunter Riley III writes in Stack Silver Get Gold - How to Buy Gold and Silver Bullion without Getting Ripped Off! "...he spent seven years in the futures pits on the floor of Chicago Mercantile Exchange and have been investing in silver and gold for the last eleven years." He wrote the book I was prepping for, after my initial "Gold Rush!" I recommend you buy his book. It covers much of the same information about how to buy silver and gold that I covered, yet he offers an example of inflation that cuts through all the economic fog that advisers love to spin. You will understand after his example, how governments steal your wealth.Riley covers the shocking decline of silver supplies in the world and how that could lead to a price rise similar to Palladium.  He writes that Palladium used to trade for $100 an ounce and when supplies shrank, shot up to over $1000 where it has stayed ever since. One nit here; Riley has the trend right on Palladium, but the prices are wrong. The all time high was $857 and it's currently around $605.  Maybe he meant Platinum, but then it's trading about $1551.Riley does a good job of outlining the supply and demand characteristics of Silver and shares a unique way of acquiring silver that's new to me.  He uses Silver Saver. The advantage is you can buy a set amount of silver each month essentially a dollar-cost averaging method to build a silver position.Finally, the Suggested Resources section is spot on.  My advice: start with "The Creature from Jekyll Island" by G. Edward Griffin. Then you will really understand why Ron Paul wanted to get rid of the Federal Reserve.Mike Landfair is a former stockbroker and author of "Gold Rush!" Why we are on the verge of a third gold mania and how to buy gold.
