<p>[QUOTE=&quot;buyingsilvers, post: 1506164, member: 18821&quot;]Something to consider is that metals are volatile and only a tiny segment of what it&#039;s possible to invest in.&nbsp; What if the price of metals crash, what if they&#039;re stolen, what if they&#039;re seized (SDBs, not likely IMO), what if the govt decides to tax them to the moon, what if your wife or kids swipe it and divorces/leaves you, what if they&#039;re blown away in a hurricane, house burns down, etc.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The price of the metals has been pretty stable, even though still on a flat/downward trend since it hit its highs.&nbsp; Silver is almost 50% off the high, which new &quot;investors&quot; that bought into the hype wasn&#039;t very pleased about.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen more than enough people get burned by the &quot;all-in&quot; approach and was forced to sell some metal at inopportune time because &quot;Life happened&quot;.&nbsp; And I also think the threat of home invasion and having my stash get stolen is a bigger threat than my vanguard mutual funds magically disappearing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
