<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gboulton, post: 1294479, member: 27043&quot;]Retirement planing is about:</p><p><br /></p><p>Long term diversity.</p><p><br /></p><p>It isn&#039;t about moving large chunks of money from this investment to that, chasing whatever the current short term trend is.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Sure your 401K has been hurt the last 3-4 years..or even the last 8-10.&nbsp; But...who cares?&nbsp; Does it MATTER how it looks today, or does it matter how it looks 15 years from now?</p><p><br /></p><p>Can coins and metals be a part of an effective and diverse retirement plan?&nbsp; Of course they can.&nbsp; Lots of investment grade coins have 15, 20, or 50 year track records of steady, slow growth in value.&nbsp; Nothing at all wrong with diversifying into them on some level.</p><p><br /></p><p>But that&#039;s true of nearly any investment.&nbsp; Picking up some small percentage of an investment with an extended record of long term success is, quite simply, a &quot;good idea&quot;...whether it&#039;s coins or widgets.</p><p><br /></p><p>By the same token, jumping out of investments every time they perform poorly for 5 years, and trying to chase the latest fad, or risking your entire future on the hope a single investment will perform well for the next decade, is a bad idea...again, whether it&#039;s coins or widgets.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would absolutely recommend to someone that there are wise long term investments in bullion and numismatics if they&#039;re willing to do the research to find them...ESPECIALLY if they think they might enjoy the process along the way.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would NEVER recommend anyone make bullion or numismatics...or ANY OTHER INVESTMENT...more than 25% of their portfolio or their annual retirement contributions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
