Investment & Precious Metals
Precious metals offer several key benefits for investors:
- Inflation Protection: Historically maintain purchasing power
- Portfolio Diversification: Low correlation with stocks and bonds
- Crisis Protection: Safe haven during market volatility
- Tangible Asset: Physical ownership you can hold
- No Counterparty Risk: Not dependent on others' promises
Gold: Often seen as the ultimate store of value with lower volatility and higher price per ounce. Better for wealth preservation.
Silver: More affordable entry point with higher volatility and industrial applications. Better for smaller budgets and potential appreciation.
Financial experts typically recommend 5-20% of your portfolio in precious metals, depending on:
- Your age and risk tolerance
- Investment timeline and goals
- Current economic conditions
- Other diversification strategies
We recommend consulting with a financial advisor for personalized guidance.
