<p>[QUOTE="flintcreek6412, post: 1925063, member: 61025"]95% of my investments are stocks and mutual funds coupled with my pension. The other 5% of play investment money is cash, gold, silver. I like to keep about $10K cash on hand just for fun. It's a nice little stack of $100s.

The pure weight of them makes you feel like you've got something. I usually trade a coin I bought online for them so I don't pay sales tax. My local guy gives me way better prices than APMEX or Provident. I have found that ASEs are probably the worst investment ever though.
