The global stock markets are crashing and oil is skyrocketing - Brent is up 22.47% according to CNBC. I see precious metals as insurance. Man I'm glad I just bought more silver. The value is not just in the price, but also like insurance in the peace of mind. Gold and silver are insurance.
You buy what you can Sal. Sometimes you but nothing so you can save for that expensive coin. Other times you but several cheap ones at the same time. It all depends on what your looking for and your living expenses at that time.
