| N17 Member since: Feb 18, 2024 Threads: 1 Posts: 72 | Anyone participating in stacking the precious metals? With $38T in national debt and central banks around the world now holding more gold than US Treasuries, it feels like the US Dollar as the world reserve currency may be in more doubt than it has ever been. Something is definitely going on as Gold has essentially doubled since the beginning of 2024 and silver is up 125% in same timeframe. It feels crazy to start adding to the stack at these prices, but maybe $4100 gold and $52 silver is the new normal. |

Physical metal or ETF, anyone adding to their portfolio? Gold to $5,000 and silver to $65 in 2026? Stranger things have happened. |

Yes, now do the same for 50 years. One abnormally good year for gold does not make it a good investment. |

LOL. LOL. LOL. YOU asked the question about 2025. Flea answered YOUR question. Now that you don’t like the answer, you change the question?!? As for your new question, no one can tell for sure. I don’t see the intrinsic value of a metal going up, especially with increased mining as it does! But I’ve been wrong about it in the past. Just like I’ve been wrong about bitcoin. I think my portfolio is around 0.2% in gold. |

| N17 Member since: Feb 18, 2024 Threads: 1 Posts: 72 | Fifty Years Ago? I wasn't investing. Here is the last 10 & 20 years per my AI search: Gold 20 years ago was $550/oz & 10 years ago $1078/oz. Today it's $4628. Twenty Year Annual Return 11.23%, 10 Year Annual 15.69% Silver for same timeframe $8.90 & $13.84. Today over $93. Twenty Year Return 12.45%. 10 Year Return 20.99%. S&P 500 over 20 years including dividends is 7-8% annually and 13-14% over 10 years including dividends. I didn't start stacking physical metal until late 2020 when silver was $24 & gold was $1880. With US Debt climbing, I think owning some physical metal makes sense. You don't have to go crazy and I think silver is crazy parabolic right now. I keep wanting to buy on a pull back, not happening yet. I did buy another oz of gold over the weekend. I think gold is going to $10,000 in five years and I would rather own the physical metal than an ETF. I look at the stack as insurance against currency deflation. I own stocks too, but metal stack has done well and is diversification. I think metals have outperformed S&P 500 this century. |

| odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 165 Posts: 6374 | I have owned gold when it stayed in the doldrums for years, it was miserable. Miraculously it started going up just as I was about to sell it all. It continued to go up and I loved it of course, but I didn't make up for the bad years for a long time congratulations for investing in the current gold rush. I will truly praise you to the skies when you tell me the best time to get out. You'll also be able to sell books like hotcakes I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

That might take a while. Lots of upside potential. The current dollar to gold ratio is $9,349 per ounce. |
