Preaching the Silver Bullion

I am now preaching the virtues of buying silver bullion to my friends and family. It's awesome. You can hold it in your hand, it has verifiable, liquid value, and it has an inverse relationship with inflation so you can bet it's going to keep rising. For years I've been waiting for the metals to crash and they haven't - and I think this is because there are big players in the market now- countries like China, who are actively buying up gold. This is not market fluctuation imo...or at least I'm willing to gamble it's not.

I've also decided to take on the stock market as a side hobby, though I don't want to spend too much time on it so ETFs sound like a great option. For specific industries I really want to take a look at online gaming and green energy. Feel free to post thoughts on that or tips in the comments.
