"The most important thing people can do is own physical metals," says Todd "Bubba" Horwitz, one of the original market makers in the SPX Trading Pit at the Chicago Board of Options Exchange. Horwitz says there is more silver traded on the paper market than actually exists in physical form. "I don't think there's enough physical to cover the amount of paper that's been put out there."

He also says silver, such as 90% junk pre-1965 U.S. silver coinage, may be necessary to purchase goods in the case of a currency crisis. "I think junk silver is perfect," he says, "I'm a big believer in junk silver."
