How many or how much is advisable to invest on silver?
I'm afraid if I buy too much, suddenly the price keeps on dropping

5 ounce only can?
Precious metal is for wealth diversification purpose, unless you go for trading....
It is normally a medium to long term investment to hedge against risk / inflation / etc...
You should have a risk appetite of it drop by 50% yet you are still able to sound asleep...
So, adjust your investment amount according to your purpose + risk appetite.
You can even buy a 0.10 oz coins... but this is not so cost effective...
My first ever purchased silver is a PAMP 1kg bar (Aug 2013) at RM2,400. At current weak currency + spot price --- it is worth ~RM2,800.
I missed the chance 3 weeks ago to accumulate when spot was <19.5/oz which I still see this was sold at ~RM2450...
If tomorrow spot drop by 50% from current 21/oz to 10/oz, what would I do? Without hesitation -- buy! buy! buy! As my primary objective is to diversify... so such low spot price is attractive to lower down my average costs and would be able to hold on for long term to wait for next bull cycle....
Hope this day will come soon....

On contrary, you can also buy silver coins as hobby / collection.... Trust me, these coins are just beautiful.....
