    For most of the years that I've dealt with PMs it has been solely on a pure buy/sell trading basis with no emphasis on holding for any length of time. Now, I've changed course (slightly), and began building my own personal stack outside of my what I trade in order to protect my wealth, diversify my personal investments, and just have a fun, tangible item to collect.

    That being said, I've run into a bit of a dilemma on how my assets set aside for PM stacking should be designate to each PM. I currently own platinum, gold and silver, but I am considering swapping out all of my platinum for a combination of gold and silver, as I see platinum prices being much more finicky based on consumer spending on luxury items.

    Do any of you seasoned stackers have any suggestions on what a good allocation would be for each PM for long-term investing?

    For example: 10% platinum, 30% silver, 60% gold, etc.

    I apologize if there are other threads like this.

    Thanks in advance,
    Derrick

    i will suggest go for 20% platinum as there's only about 180 000000 oz ever produce and 77% from 1 country (ZAR).There's about 28 oz gold for every oz platinum ( $1400.00 x 28 = $39200.00 / oz plat ... verymuch under price now) The other, 30% silver and 50% gold.
