silver not gold

my mom has been bugging me to check on how much it would cost for her to buy silver. i thought for a while that she was just joking but she was not. it all started when a her classmate and goodfriend from highschool talked her into making such an investment. she was told that silver prices at times have been extremely volatile, making silver an attractive investment and trading vehicle. i think a lot of people are such investments and their is a growing demand for silver now a days. we have emailed an account representative already and if the price is right, my mom is to invest on silver soon.
