<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Juan Blanco, post: 1577555, member: 41665&quot;]From the standpoint of an investment professional, this clarification changes everything. </p><p><br /></p><p>1) Ag is a fair (if highly imperfect) proxy for cash, and probably won&#039;t be worse than stocks for the next ten years (my guess.) </p><p>2) Ag is a fairly high risk investment and for a 35yo, his/her asset-class choices SHOULD be aggressive &amp; higher risk (versus what a 65yo holds) for capital appreciation.</p><p>3) With 30 years of income-generation ahead, future opportunities to invest in those other asset classes changes everything: balance it out, as you go.</p><p>4) &#039;All-In&#039; anything is imprudent (possibly foolish: only time will tell) and gambling attitude is still reckless and youthful ... but given the OPs stated age &amp; inexperience, it&#039;s par for the course.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t believe ANYONE (retail) has ever gotten rich investing in PMs; it&#039;s still the most unlikely asset class to provide that capital appreciation a 35yo will need later on. But at the end of his/her life, this particular choice (jumping the gun, I think) probably will not have been terrible nor a lasting regret either. Building wealth/assets <i>around </i>a bullion stash is certainly unorthodox, but it&#039;s not necessarily catastrophic here. </p><p><br /></p><p>I will say: when reading these kinds of confessions elsewhere it&#039;s almost always been a tragic and sad mistake (typically, from someone old &amp; terrified). Just saying. So e<i>verything in moderation and incrementally </i>is still the wisest course of action for new investors and those inexperienced with PMs. Good Luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
