[QUOTE="buyingsilvers, post: 1506456, member: 18821"]I'm curious if you have a policy because this is something I actually looked into before and discarded as an option. As I understand it, you will need to pay to have an appraisal done on the value of the items you're keeping in your home, which is what the reimbursement will be based on. If you add to the stack, you'll need to get another appraisal if you want the additional PMs covered. Also, the cost of the insurance rider isn't really that cheap either. If you're attempting to insure 500k in pms, it will cost you a lot of money yearly. Since this will be your main investment vehicle, I'd assume you have at least a half mil before you retire. Nowadays, ideally you would want maybe 2 mil worth since PMs pay no dividends, and you'd basically be selling your stash gradually to eat in your retirement. If you estimate an insurance cost of .5% (and I'm sure it's more than that), you'll be burning $2,500/year to insure 500k up to $10,000/year to insure your 2 mil. You'd be relying on evil financial instruments and a promise that you'll be compensated, which kinda goes against the purpose of going all "physical" in the first place?[/QUOTE]
