Personal Finance and Investing

As investment, consult a real professional. For what it's worth, and I realize you know absolutely nothing about me, I've had financial advisers in one form or another for more than thirty years, and none of them have ever suggested precious metals by themselves. Not even as a very small part of the portfolio.

As one person has already said, they are not very liquid. I'm also under the impression that there's a high cost to the buying and selling in the first place, so do plenty of research and understand exactly what you are doing before you buy.
