I think that everyone should own some gold and silver as part of their personal assets.
These precious metals are not likely to provide massive gains or losses like a stock could- that isn’t their purpose. The purpose is to preserve their value with respect to other things.
At the turn of the century, you could purchase a fine men’s suit for the price of an ounce of gold (about $35) and the same is true today (about $1000). Gold holds its value while dollars and euros are just paper.
Having some of your portfolio in gold and silver is just a common sense thing to do in my opinion. Diversify.
The easiest way to purchase gold is American Gold Eagles, and the easiest way to purchase silver is either Silver Eagles or pre-1965 circulated quarters and dimes. Click the links for more info on Silver and Gold…
