silver and gold

How much is an ounce of silver nowadays? A lot are into investing in gold in silver lately. I think that's a pretty good option rather than leaving your money in the bank. Relatively it's less risky as compared to investing in stocks or foreign exchange wherein the rates can get pretty volatile. But I think investing in gold and silver is something considered as a more long term investment. So make sure that the money you use in investing is something that you won't be needing in the near future.
