In precious metal equities: 5%.

Right now probably a bit less than 5%. Why? 5% is probably the minimum to be meaningful in terms of the portfolio`performance. Historically precious metals stocks perform incredibly well for 1-2 years (as in they have trebled in the last 18 months) and then do nothing for years. Precious metals themselves have very pedestrian long run returns - quote - > Thanks in advance! > Chip |

The precious metals market is speculative, i.e. it depends on income being generated by the investment but on market growth, and all speculation is just glorified gambling. For people with lots of money to play with there is nothing wrong with gambling, but I think the percentage you are going to gamble with depends on your personal situation (age, income, net assets) and feelings about risk. There is no one magic formula. Andy |
