<p>[QUOTE="John King, post: 2438596, member: 78398"]If you have an 8-10 year time frame I think you would be better to dollar cost average buying the S&P. In my experience from looking at 100 year charts you need to be able to hold your gold or silver for 30-40 years to hit a bull market and then sell when everyone else is buying. This is hard to do but look at 2010-11 when gold and silver soared and now down 40% at least. We may wait another 30 years for another bull market like that. I see precious metals as insurance against financial meltdown not as a good short to intermediate investment. A good long term investment if you think in terms of 30-40 years dollar cost averaging all the way. This is true with stocks, houses, art and everything else. I buy silver and gold coins just because I like them and not as an investment. The best investment is entire US stock market.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
