1. Are you an investor or a trader?
2. Why are you buying metals? Profit or protection. |

1. Are you an investor or a trader? Self-directed investor ( the Edward Jones guy lost 15% for me in the first year) 2. Why are you buying metals? Profit or protection. Protection (put about 20% of current liquid assets in the physical metals) |

"Don't fight the Fed."
While the metals had a pretty good run over the past few months, interest rate jitters have cause them to get slammed in the past few weeks. I don't think we're going to see any interest rate hikes soon. There's no reason to do so now, and I doubt the Fed will hike right before the presidential election but after that, look out. I have about 5-8% depending as a protective hedge; 20% would be a lot IMO. I focus more on Pt, Pd and Ag for their industrial uses. |

No ETFs. Go with shares.

The stacking craze hit me pretty hard this past year and I am happy I did so. Now I am thinking about selling some well under performing funds (actually funds that have taken a significant loss) and rolling the proceeds into ETFs and mutuals related to precious metals. Any thoughts or hints at those I should be looking at? SLW /Thread |

Unless you have a relatively large sum to invest, ETFs are the way to go.
Buying one or two miners (streamers, whatever) would be a pretty risky posture in a pretty risky asset class. |
