[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 2805971, member: 77814"]That's exactly the way I look at it too. PMs are a storage of wealth / hedge. Sure, there are spikes where one can make money. But waiting 5 or 10 yrs between big spikes is not something one wants to do as an investment. Compare that to buying certain stocks .. I recently bought into starting at $17 SQuare corporation. Now around $27/share. Even Ferrrari stock IPOd at $40 now over $100. There are stagnant stocks, and GE was one of them. I bought at $24, slowly went to $30 ... and decreased to $25 or something now. I got out at $28 on the way down. Of course this was a DRIP, but a slow, really slow DRIP. Not worth it looking back. My New Markets Bond Fund on the other hand gives Monthly dividends and is basically looking to be at 10+% this past year. Compare those to PMs and PM are too volatile and difficult to understand by various influences. A stock is easy by comparison .. competition, markets, revenue & profitability, p/e ratios etc which are all numbers you can look at.[/QUOTE]
