Hi mates, got a very big decition to make after wifefie agree at last on some extra PM for our safe All your mates stay in a country where there's alottof gold and almost no silver. You have enough money to buy either 8 1/2 oz gold (in your country) or 1 1/2 oz gold (in your country) and 225 oz of siver (from overseas). You love gold very much and silver as well ... What do you do ? You will find that shipping and asurance eats up about 8 oz silver per 1 oz gold, but also keep in mind that you don't want to buy your silver every 2 or 3 months due to the high price it will work out for the shipping and esurance etc. What do you do, do you going for the 8 1/2 oz gold ? or 1 1/2 oz gold and 225 oz silver ?? any thoughts ??
Can you do a different split? I like 40% silver 60% gold myself (monetary value, not weight). If silver 'goes to the moon' then even if you take a more conservative approach now then you will still be rewarded. No harm in diversification. Silver has been held back for decades, what if this continues?
Given the two choices, i'd go your latter option. That said, i'm getting some 1/10 krugerrands later this week. I've always wanted them and unfortunately the 1/10 is all i can afford atm.
