If the stock market crashes and wipes out 50% of your portfolio the PMs will rise (stocks &amp; PMs always almost go in opposite directions) and help nullify some of those losses.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Great Depression is a good example. If someone had all their money in stocks they would’ve been financially ruined.
