Is now a good time to buy silver? I'm wanting to invest in something. Don't know much about stocks/investing at all. I just want something that will retain its value for now, something relatively safe and it's also nice because it's physical.
OP here. Also if you have any good recommendations on where to start with investing in general that'd be great.

>never recovered
Granted precious metals are manipulated as hell but the only time I ever see these breaking out again is the next depression/recession.

Cool meme. Iron doesn't stand up to time, gold does.
I've just started buying silver eagles. I think it's a good investment. Just buy some every month and do dollar cost averaging like with stock.
Silver is going to moon harder than any crypto shitcoin. Just give it time...

Delusional.
Silver will eventually rise, but I hope you're not believing that $600 an ounce bs.
>He fell for the precious metals meme.
Silver and gold aren't really investments. They are stores of wealth. They're a safe bet to always be worth something unlike fiat currencies.

Silver will always worth something, until scientists come with some radical innovation that could create silver out from thin air. It's chemical properties guarantee it's demand in plenty of industries, specially electronics. So placing some money on silver is always a safe bet, as long as you follow the buy low, sell high logic.
As example, looking at some charts, the price for silver within the last year have been going, most of the time, from $16.50 to $19.10. There have been instances when it have moved and maintained for a while outside those margins, but those were rare and short periods, so acquiring silver above $19.11 is dumb. $21? LOL. Someone watched the silver going up, took a bit too seriously the moon meme and bought too much overvalued silver. And given the current circumstances, yeah, is nearly impossible to recover the investment, and considering inflation, it's already a loss.
Personally, I bought silver at $16.40 back on july, 2015. According to this website (http://www.usinflationcalculator.com), to keep with inflation, silver should be worth $16.95. The silver average price within the last month is $16.91, but on friday silver closed at $15.93. If I were to sell, I would have to take a huge loss. However, right now silver is going through a low phase (I don't know why), so is that time of the year when I double my bet and take my chances. After all, the average price within the last year is $17.83,and have reached $21 on august 2016.
However, one last word of advice: diversify. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
