Guatemala Silver
How to Invest in Silver?
I live in Guatemala and apparently there are no bullion vendors :S, I’ve found some guatemalan silver coins used as currency in the 1920′s on the net at about US$10 for 1.66 grams (described as 0.7200 silver?), the other option is silver jewlery? or maybe ship in coins from ebay or something? stocks? I have around $700 to invest. Any help would be greatly appreciated! 
you should familiarize yourself with exchange traded funds (ETFs). they are a good way to get exposure to commodities, currencies, equity sectors, etc. kind of like mutual funds except you can trade them all day long (not just once a day like mutual funds).
iShares Silver Trust is probably the most liquid silver ETF. it’s ticker is SLV on the NY stock exchanged. FYI i am not advocating buying or selling this thing – but it’s out there and beats going to a “bullion vendor” – i’d like to see that!
