[QUOTE="claygump, post: 1147315, member: 29689"]Interesting question. I got curious so I ran some numbers. SECURITIES = I counted securities to mean any type of "paper" investment. Stock/bonds/ETF/CDs/Funds/checking-savings. Real Estate = my house. RARE ART = I counted "coins" as bullion plus rare coins. I'm currently at about a 50/50 split within that category. Some of my bullion is actually also a rare coin and might someday outperform the PM value. I should add I'm still in the collection for fun vs. investment camp but as my tastes change i'm calling it an investment more all the time. ;) So I'm at 68/28/4. However if I exclude retirement and my house and focus on strictly taxable-savings I'm at 89/11. Not really sure what this all means. Interesting exercise nonetheless. I would think to be useful you would want to determine how much of any mutual funds value might be in commodities and in Precious Metals in particular.[/QUOTE]
