Robert Kiyosaki: Silver Best Hedge Against Inflation
Robert Kiyosaki is a motivational speaker, businessman, investor and author of the Rich Dad, Poor Dad series. In the following interview with Newsmax.tv Kiyosaki explains the reasons why Americans should be investing in silver.
Kiyosaki says silver is the best hedge against inflation and that in many ways the precious metal is a better investment than gold. He is a very strong buyer of silver and has been investing heavily in for over 10 years.
Why Silver Cannot Lose
Robert Kiyosaki
August 20, 2007
I believe the biggest opportunity today is in silver. I think this precious metal is about to become the most spectacular investment in recent history — bigger than oil, even bigger than Google.
Let me give you some reasons why:
Silver is a consumable industrial commodity.
It’s used in computers, cells phones, and electrical relays. This means that as countries like China, India, and Vietnam, and regions like Eastern Europe, become more modernized, the demand for silver will increase.
Silver is also applied in medicine. One little-known use is as a bactericide, a role silver has filled throughout history. Today, medical devices such as catheters and stethoscopes use silver, and every hospital in the western world uses silver sulfadiazine to prevent infections.
Silver is scarcer than gold.
Gold is hoarded. It’s estimated that 95 percent of all gold ever mined is still around. The exact opposite is true of silver: An estimated 95 percent of all silver ever mined has been consumed.
Forty-five percent of all silver mined is burned up in industrial uses. Jewelry accounts for 28 percent, and 20 percent has been consumed in photography. Only 5 percent is in coins.
Silver supplies are down.
In 1900, it was estimated that the world had 12 billion ounces of silver. By 1990 it had dropped to 2.2 billion ounces. By 2007, the supply was down to 300 million ounces.
Some of the more pessimistic forecasts estimate that the world will be out of silver in about 10 years. This could be catastrophic to the world economy. In 10 years, silver might have as much of an impact on the world economy as $200-a-barrel oil.
