I’m currently hedged about 30% of my assets in silver and platinum. That’s not my savings though, and it’s not an investment. It’s a straight hedge. I’m only responsible for the margin which depending on the mix is between 8-12% of that (or 3ish percent of my assets)
%% Sounds fine, even though most suggest 10% max. I do less than that\ but did buy some junk silver coins this year........................................................................... RE is good + in most cases better.[Gold can be a good hold/for a dealer/gold mine-i'm not either/LOL\]
Since mid 2020...Buying physical Per month, $500 into silver...about $20 face value of 90% junk or 1 tube eagles/similar. Per quarter, 1oz gold. Bars preferred, sealed in assay card but other clearly identifiable forms ok. As investment, not a percentage of total savings.
But to put it in a context we can learn from, what percentage is that of your savings or liquid net worth?
There is a lot of platinum on the moon, and there are a lot of companies working on colonizing the moon to mine it. Nobody knows when but it is a risk you have to take into account.
It’s not a consideration of mine and I can’t see it being so in the future. I don’t buy on anything except the money flow. And silver is now officially a dog. That can change, but it hasn’t.
Silver, Approx $500 x 12 months = 6k annually Gold, Approx $2000(1oz) x 4 qtrs = 8k annually, currently As I stated, my accumulation of physical metal is for investment. When timings are appropriate, investment gains will be augmented (or hedged) with TRADING... futures, etfs, and/or individual stocks/options. At some point in the future I expect the investment to be liquidated, assuming life. Your take away should be... make a plan that fits transparently within YOUR situation, without causing hardship to YOUR lifestyle, needs, wants, and goals. You do your own math.
