JoeMo In my opinion metals are still priced a bit high and take somewhat of a beating historically as interest rates rise. That being said having a portion of your portfolio in metals aint a bad idea as the government is trying to devalue the dollar and metals can be somewhat of a hedge. I am not as sophisticated as some on this board but buy a few bars of silver monthly and gold coins on occasion. It is nice to invest in somthing tangible you can hold in your hand.

And I like to lay mine out in the floor and roll around in it like Scrooge McDuck. Can't do that with stocks.
