Is silver better than keeping cash?

How does the silver savings calculation work?

Each month your fixed dollar savings buys silver at the live spot price. Ounces accumulate at a flat rate. The dollar value projection assumes 8% annual appreciation on the silver you hold, compounded monthly. Cash comparison uses 4.5% APY compounded monthly.
