In recent years, the ECB has printed huge amounts of money, causing the value of the euro to drop sharply. Inflation these days is at 10%, meaning that if you have money in a savings account, you lose some 10% of your purchasing power every year.
A possible solution to this problem is buying silver. Silver needs to be mined and is therefore scarce. In addition, production mining has been declining for years while the demand for silver is on the rise. Because of these solid fundamentals, the price of silver has gone up by an average of 9.4% annually since 2000. The past few years have seen a shortage of silver.
The advantage of buying physical silver is that it cannot be printed. Buying silver means you choose to protect your purchasing power. It is therefore a smart thing to do, but there are also risks involved in buying silver. The price of silver is volatile and especially this aspect (also called price risk) does not fit the needs and wishes of every investor or saver.
During the past 16 years, the price of silver has gone down eight times. The declines and increases in value have been substantial. Two of the eight drops were above the 15%. In 2008, the silver price in euros dropped by 19.5% and in 2013 even by 38.5%.
During eight of those 16 years, the price of silver went up, five times of which with more than 15%. The best year was 2010, when the value of silver rose by 96.2%. In 2009, the price went up with 44.3% and in 2020 an investment in silver increased by 35.4%.
When you want to buy silver, you’ll have to take into account the volatility of its price.
There is a big difference between gold and silver. The industrial demand for silver is much larger than the demand for gold. Simultaneously, the silver market is much smaller than the market for gold. An increasing demand from the side of investors could drive up the price of silver. In 2011, the price of silver doubled within a period of 12 months. And in March 2020, the silver price started going up from €360 per kilo, reaching €800 in February 2021.
Besides the potential development of the silver price, there are additional reasons for buying silver. Learn more about the three most important reasons for our customers to purchase silver.
Silver is a necessary material for the production of electric cars, solar panels, laptops and phones. Nearly 60% of the demand for silver comes from the manufacturing industry. There’s only a relatively small quantity available for investors.
The mining of silver peaked in 2015. The number of discoveries of unknown underground reserves has been declining, while the demand for silver is on the rise.
Every year, you lose some 10% of your purchasing power as a result of inflation. The value of paper money is decreasing constantly.
Silver – like gold – keeps its purchasing power. Since 2004, the price of silver has gone up by an average of 10% annually.
During the past century, the purchasing power of the euro and the dollar has decreased by 98%.
The financial crisis of 2008 caused a general drop of value, including the value of shares, bonds and real estate.
But the price of silver went up, even more than the price of gold. Sooner or later another crisis will hit.
In 2009, the price of silver rose by 44% and the following year by no less than 96%!
Silver is considered to be an industrial commodity and is therefore taxed with 21% VAT. However, it is possible to buy silver without being charged VAT. When you buy silver bars and have them stored in a customs depot, you will be allowed to buy the bars free of VAT.
Buying silver bars free of VAT is the best way to invest in silver. At DKgold you buy silver against a price of roughly 5% above the current price of silver. The added premium of 5% consists of production costs of the silver bars, the costs of transporting the bars to the customs depot plus a margin.
This allows you to buy silver safely and against a fair price. Another option would be to buy silver coins, but this is very expensive. The premium added to silver coins now stands at 40%, which makes an investment in silver by means of silver coins hardly profitable.
If you choose to buy silver bars free of VAT, you will get 35% more silver for your money. If you would invest €10,000, this amounts to €3500. Silver bars are available from a weight of 1 kilo. The storage costs are only €80 annually for an investment worth €10,000.
DKgold has more than 6000 account holders who are buying silver. When some of these customers choose to sell back their silver, there are no production or transportation costs involved. The silver bars are already stored in the customs depot and could be subsequently offered to new customers with a discount.
Account holders automatically receive an e-mail when we have more than 15 kilos of silver available during the SALE. You will then be able to buy silver free of VAT against the most competitive price in Europe. The premium during the SALE is just above 1%.
Buying gold is very easy. Through an article in Effect by the VEB, I was alerted to gold buying at DKgold. This is my first time investing in gold, but it is very easy, beyond my expectations.

This makes silver one of the best performing assets. The price of silver is volatile, as opposed to the price of gold.
