Selling the family silver

ended 14. January 2026

Are you considering selling (or have you already sold) any gold or silver lying around your house given that both prices are  at all-time-highs? Silver smashed through $90 an ounce for the first time this morning due to geopolitical tensions, while gold is also rallying strongly, hitting $4,641.78 - and closing in, seemingly inexorably, on $5,000. Or perhaps you're considering investing in gold and silver for the first time? If so, tell us all about it. Story being written now.

I always tell those new to investing that hoarding physical bullion in a safe might make you feel like a pirate but for serious investors it is an expensive hobby. The smart play is to utilise physically backed Exchange Traded Commodities which offer liquid exposure to the spot price without the headache of security or insurance. You get the safe haven benefits of the asset class without needing to reinforce your floorboards.
