Get the Skinny on Silver Investing [Paperback]

David Morgan PHO (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 14, 2006

Crowded Thoughts is an anthology of poems that Duane Harold Connell wrote over a span of twenty-five years. He believes that poetry is a peculiar thing. It can lift us to heights of ecstasy or drag us through the depths of despair. It can hum along and quietly seduce us or slap us in the face with harsh realism. The ideas for his poems came to him as small impressions that coalesced into complete thoughts. Eventually, those thoughts became? crowded.? They had a weight that was palpable and persistent and became impossible for him to suppress. They are a written expression of feelings he believes we all have. He thinks anyone can be a poet. The skill lies not in the choice of individual words but in the impact they have when they are properly combined. You don?t need to be well read or formally educated. You only need an idea and the will to express it. He hopes this book will help you find your unique voice and a passion for expressing your own ?crowded thoughts.?

This review is from: Get the Skinny on Silver Investing (Paperback)

A well written book in simplied terms that can inform the new investor or professional manager/trader. There is some great insight as to why the great underevaluation of silver relative to gold & copper exists. It gives great advice on how one can profit from silver via physicals, futures and stocks. The photography myth is explained as well. For its low cost it a mandatory read for someone considering investment in silver, silver futures/options and/or silve stocks.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tell me more about Silver Mr. Morgan!, September 7, 2006

This review is from: Get the Skinny on Silver Investing (Paperback)

The author, David Morgan sets forth a compilation of his own and several other individuals' viewpoints as to the supply / demand & fundementals of silver. He cites many experts on the subject and is fairly articulate and concise. He also speaks of 5 or 6 ways for the retail public to invest in silver.
I was left with several questions after reading his book. What is the true value of silver? What is the best way to invest in silver? Finally, can silver be a "great" investment without a monetary component. Morgan presents his information in an objective fashion and although he obviously favors silver as a cornerstone of investing; he does not preach to his audience. Perhaps the sequel will provide greater depth?

4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting book on silver investing, March 30, 2007

This review is from: Get the Skinny on Silver Investing (Paperback)

Content:
The book contain 11 short chapters which takes us from the fundamentals driving the silver sector as the supply and demand in Chapter 1, then the misconception that photography is the major driver of the silver sector (Chapter 3), fraudulent activities of the silver & gold leasing (Chapter 4). David Morgan explains very well, why silver is money and not a commodity in Chapter 6. Chapter 7 is devoted to the new uses for silver and the coming demand squeeze, Then from chapter 8 to 10 he briefly discuss different types of investments alternatives in the sector with bullion and coins, silver & mining stocks and leveraged type of investments. He finishes with some future price projections for silver.

Positive:
- If you read a book about a sector such as small as silver, you want facts, lots of them... the book sums up what you need to know about silver market that is positive!
- An easy to read book with a good combination of history and economic of the silver sector.
- The price of the book.

Negative:
- Maybe a more balanced view on the silver market (i.e not so bullish all the time).

Overall i think David Morgan does a good job giving us the skinny on silver in 110 pages. This is one of the few books about the silver sector, and absolutely worth the few hours it takes to read it.

Serious hard assets investor will be excited reading this book. On the other hand for short term speculators this is unfortunately not a book for you, it will only tell how to invest on silver for the years to come and that is unfortunatly not enough for the trader.
