I’m a perpetual bag holder. Very bad about watching prices rise to record highs, not selling, then riding them back down.

I used to be that way with stocks. However, I now have a system. Once the stock doubles, I sell half of it - return of principle. Then the rest I just check on it now and then.
That way when a crash like 2008 comes, I have some dollars to buy stuff at bargain prices.
Silver and gold have been, for the past few years, a stable investment, not rising or falling very far. I got out mainly because I wanted new wheels for my 2013 Dodge Challenger R/T. I consider them a gift from my father. If I start hearing more about the Fed I may reinvest. As far as coin collecting only the dealers make any money.
