<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hof1998, post: 1348135, member: 24640&quot;]I swear I&#039;m not trying to be a smart-@ss, but did you do this math for 2010? Or for a 5, 10, or 20 year trend? I wouldn&#039;t use one year as a basis for an investment strategy.</p><p><br /></p><p>To the OP - I would diversify if you are looking to hedge your bets. I don&#039;t know how much you have, but you would be wise to get some 90%, some Morgans, some .999 government silver, some old US gold, some Buffalos, some fractional. Essentially cover all your bases. </p><p>I&#039;m not sure about the pork belly comment. If you really want to diversify away from the regular stock market, you can easily get a REIT fund and a commodity ETF to add some other ones into the mix.</p><p><br /></p><p>Obviously, no one here has the answer. But, the one thing you can count on is HIGH Beta (volatility) if you put all your money into one investment or asset class. When you buy only one (gold, silver, Google stock, etc.), you have a chance for higher returns and also higher losses.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is no way to avoid risk when you seek return.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
