<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rono, post: 1146699, member: 6492&quot;]Howdy,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m curious about this same question but would like permission to change the way it&#039;s asked.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>QUESTION:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What percentage of your wealth is in gold and silver in one form or another?&nbsp;&nbsp; No dollar amounts - just percentages.&nbsp; </p><p>For example, many financial advisors are now suggesting 3-5%.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>We&#039;ve got about 15% now and I&#039;m working on increading that percentage.&nbsp; What is most sweet, is that the market is helping the process.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Several years back I read a quote from the elder Baron Rothschild that in order to be most prepared for whatever might happen, you should have 1/3 of your wealth in securities, 1/3 in real estate, and 1/3 in rare art.&nbsp; Please note that he said Wealth and you can substitute whatever for &#039;rare art&#039;.&nbsp; When I first read this I sat down and ran the numbers for wifey and I and it was 90/8/2.&nbsp; I was ill.&nbsp; I&#039;ve got it moved to 60/25/15 and hope to improve it further.&nbsp; I&#039;m not worried about reaching 33/33/33 as much as knowing that it&#039;s a good guide star for this sort of strategic planning.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Just some ramblings while watching Butler and the Huskies.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>peace,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>rono[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
