<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 1153667, member: 3011&quot;]Let me give you an example.&nbsp; Back in the late 90s when tech stocks were in their bubble, there were a lot of people who purchased a package of them and imagined themselves to be diversified.&nbsp; I used to haunt the old AOL investment chat rooms back then and the attitude was pervasive among the believers.&nbsp; But when the crash came, their entire portfolio moved in the same direction at the same time and they were crushed.&nbsp; It was painful to watch.&nbsp; Fast forward to today.&nbsp; If you purchase several different forms of silver and gold, do so because you like them and not because you believe you are gaining some sort of diversification, because you aren&#039;t.&nbsp; They will rise and fall together at approximately the same rate at approximately the same time for the same reasons.&nbsp; That isn&#039;t diversification.&nbsp; So if someone said that they wanted to buy a variety because they are collectors and liked each individual piece, that&#039;s okay.&nbsp; But if investment is the primary purpose, it is only fooling yourself.&nbsp; I know the 90% coins are popular among survivalists, but they really aren&#039;t investors in the normal sense of the word.&nbsp; The OP sounds like more of a traditional investor than a survivalist, hence my comment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
