wouldn't it be better to buy gold, its more valuable?

I think at the present time gold has seen a proportionally lesser raise in price than silver and if the trend continues, there are better returns on silver. All this is highly speculative.

Looking at the 6 month graphs of their price:

Gold has risen by 44% and silver by 114% approx.

The fact that gold is more valuable is irrelevant as you would invest, say £1,000 in either metal and the return you make is based on how much the price rises in % terms.

im not up to date, wouldn't it be better to buy gold, its more valuable?

Saving your Wealth, moreso.

Maybe more like wisdom?

Or the traditional receiving of a silver coin - as a gesture for conferring to someone: good luck, prosperity and blessing?

Silver is an extremely useful metal, not just used for jewellery and posh cutlery. It is an element used in solar energy, photography, medicine (due to antibacterial properties), brazing alloys & solders (in plumbing, automotive & electronics applications), cloud seeding, treating warts and corns, media storage, long life batteries, deodorant, stained glass, 3d printing, engine ball bearings, antimicrobial lab coats, touch screen gloves, laundry detergent, wood preservation, catalysts used in plastics production, and "bang snaps" ( e.g. In Christmas crackers). And if times get really trying, you can always ride away on him - "High, ho, Silver!"

do you mean about investing in silver to save your money? 

No, I'm still lost

The tailspin, caused by each 'latest crisis'.

No you've lost me there, what you on about?
