What is used in magnets more often Nickel or Silver?

Nickel is used to make magnets more often than silver is, for two main reasons: 1). Silver is much more expensive than nickel. 2). Silver is diamagnetic. That means it has a weak, negative susceptibility to magnetic fields, it's slightly repelled by a magnetic field, and it does not retain the magnetic properties when the external field is removed. That means that even if silver were much cheaper than nickel, silver makes crummy magnets that are totally useless as magnets, and you would just have to use nickel anyway.
