When you talk about investing in precious metals - Gold is the first thing that comes to mind! And silver is generally regarded as golds poor cousin - in fact, you probably wouldn’t even think of locking up your silver in a safe because who would think of stealing silver right?

Recently we have been all up in arms about the not-quite-ready proposal of a universal healthcare system affectionately known as 1Care, which is supposed to cover everyone at 10% of their household income.
