With 40k would you invest in real estate or gold and silver?
What is the best way to spend 40k?

Gold and Silver
are too speculative. Over last 10 years they have appreciated nicely so
many people have come to believe that they are safe. However we need to
keep in mind that Gold touched a high of $900/Oz in 1980 and and then
over next 23 years constantly kept going down in value and reached a low
of $270!!! Can one imagine to wait that long and take 75% loss in
value? See the chart here. Click or copy and paste:

Same goes for silver. It touched a high price of $40 in 1980 and for people who invested at that price saw price hover around $5 or so over next 25 years!!

There is no guarantee that the same thing can't happen again in those two commodities. Actually chances are it will repeat in my opinion.
So, out of the 3- Gold, silver and Real Estate-, Real Estate is the best choice. It also offers very nice income these days particularly when interest rates are low.
