You know I’m a silver and gold bug; 14 years and still holding. I have quadrupled my investment in PMs.
Not a bad return at all...but you really DID need to get in on the bottom floor. And while I’ve always been in Commodities, it took Dad a long time to convince me to go in that direction. So glad I did! :)
(I’m well diversified; PMs, stocks, bonds, land, ammo and dry socks!)
--as we all should be, with each of us allocating to match our needs. There are a lot of folks smarter than me doing quite well thank you in PM's though I still often have a hard time following the reasoning. Success stories like yours simply remind me to keep a lid on my sarcasm and maintain an open eye on PM trades. That and it's also good to know I'm not the only one into dry socks...
