<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1281587, member: 26302&quot;]We will differ of course on our outlook on equities, but the overarching point I would wish to make is that if you are an average investor you really do need to diversify. Thanks to buying loads of silver at $4 I have not really needed to add to my PM percentage of my portfolio. However, I view some exposure to PM or commodities to be valuable in a portfolio, just as I believe some exposure to equities is also needed. </p><p><br /></p><p>I know its a PM board here, but I would simply caution that maybe the PM bulls are right, but are people really willing to risk their retirement on that one bet? I am not, and neither am I willing to risk it in equities. I am diversified in PM, Real Estate, equities, and some bonds, My comments on PM are &quot;at the margin&quot;, meaning not risking retirement by buying or selling, just fiddling with unallocated money. I truly hope many or most here are the same. No matter how passionately you feel about something in Finance, there is always unforeseen items that come up that can make your &quot;slam dunk win&quot; turn into a loss.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
