Gold vs. Silver: Which is a Better Investment?
Ramaswamy believes that gold and silver should be viewed from different perspectives—a trader’s perspective and an investor’s perspective. Choosing between the two depends on your risk tolerance.
He explained that investing in gold means greater stability and asset protection, as gold is considered a safer option. Silver, on the other hand, has greater growth potential but is also more volatile, making it a preferred investment by traders.
Silver prices often fluctuate rapidly, while gold rises slowly and steadily. Therefore, holding a mix of the two is considered preferable. The right choice depends on your investment horizon, risk tolerance, and financial goals.
Ramaswamy also said that gold has been in a bull run for the past 10 years, while silver has been in a rally for about five and a half years and still has a long way to go.
