<p>[QUOTE=&quot;moneycostingmemoney, post: 2806119, member: 86367&quot;]I guess I should have taken more time in planning the title for this one as it seems to have gotten lost in the sauce and misconstrued a bit. For the sake of correcting the perception of my intent I&#039;ll elaborate. </p><p>My intent was comparing PMs and stocks in regards to the factors that effect their valuation and how when one goes up the other seems to go down, and vise versa, which could be looked at in a sense as an inverse relationship. </p><p>Stocks are great wealth generators when due diligence and timing are at the forefront. It&#039;s impossible to know exactly what the market is about to do, but the factors that sway it are not hidden and many people can see the signs and adjust accordingly. I know sound investment practice is to set a plan of incremental buys based on entry price and expected growth and also the selling at times of stagnation (if in a more growth focused portfolio) to shift into positions with more potential, but if history has shown that on general downtrends the price of PMs increase, why are they not looked at as a valid option? </p><p>The general consensus of investing in PMs is to hedge, but why do we think that? An interesting point was made that it is too volatile to been seen as an investment to make money, then why is it viewed as a safe harbor?</p><p>High risk (More growth than income, but still factoring some income drip) is my wheelhouse because of my age and, after being presented with the different options and possible outcomes, was what I wanted to do. I understand that there are years of experience behind the thoughts being presented, and in that I find a personal eagerness to learn from it with respect for those that have been doing it a long time, but can we all step out of our current personal strategies and view this more objectively?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
