    So I know people may be uncomfortable talking about how much there net worth is and such. A lot of people are heavily invested in silver, my self included. Mike Melloney said correct me if I'm wrong but 90% in gold and silver and 10% in cash. I was at one point before silver hit $50 literally 100% in gold and silver now I've branched out of that madness and I'm about 70% invested in gold and silver. Just curious to see what percentage other people are at?

    I am also 22 and I would say that I have about 33% in silver and 66% in the bank. I would have a higher percentage in the bank but I just moved in May. This is excluding the money that I have in my 401K and any coins that have any numismatic value.

    I've got 75% silver, 25% cash. Although that is more based on how much cash I feel I need on hand in case of emergency as opposed to a fixed ratio. I keep a certain cushion and any extra goes to buying on the dips. My retirement is separate from that and is in the process of being transfered into SLW, PSLV, and mining stocks. I have no reservations whatsoever about being lopsided in that regard. While I won't suggest going all in with silver like I have, I sleep like a baby every night for that very reason.

    im 22 and have about 85% invested in Pm. I'll break down my PM investments -> (60% silver, 25% gold, 10% Platinum, 5% Palladium). If my net worth was more than $15K, I wouldn't be so heavy in PM. I will probably shoot for less than 40% in PM as I get older and save more money.

    Not counting house, I have between 5 and 10% in my coin collection, including coins that are not bullion. The rest is in stocks and money market.

    I'm not sure of the OP's definition of cash, but if stocks and 401K's and the like are included in that category, I'd say about 5% in bullion (though my bullion is in the form of numismatic coins and their related value versus plain bullion), 40% cash and the rest in real estate. People always assume land is a losing proposition, but I've yet to find a chunk of gold or silver I can build a cabin on and be surrounded by miles of woods and streams and wildlife. That's a real investment if you ask me.

    At 28yrs old, I am 50% in Real Estate, 10% in Gold, 20% in Silver, and 20% cash. Not entirely sure what my plans are at this point. Thinking about letting go of one of my rental houses and moving it into PMs. Eh, I change my mind at least twice a day.
