We live and learn hey M8, I once bought 1000 Oz of Ag all at once from a very trusted and dear friend on these boards a few years back only to see the price drop year on year after I bought it, my FOMO back then was all about recouping near what I'd paid for it rather than looking for a ROI.
I have since learned that a few small nest's of investment are a better choice than just a single one. I still don't go for the broad spread though, I know Gold, Silver, Lithium and Crypto's but SFAE about retirement plans or new energy, or any of the other so called must have blue chip stocks etc.
My main risk at the moment is My four Daughters and My Missus, they are forever sucking me into the next most needed thing....
