Mostly silver and gold. I ran across a recent report on silver holdings that compared how much you had to have to be included in the top 20%, 10%, 5% and 1% of investors world wide. You enter the top 20% level with just 100 one ounce rounds. 80% of investors simply never get that high. Every time I made a purchase, they had increased in value between $1 and $3 from the time I ordered them to the time I received them and have just been going up ever since. I was stunned to learn I am already well past the minimum thresh hold to be included in the top 1% group for silver. Guess I have been buying more than I realized. No wonder my returns are getting so high. Every time they go up or down a buck, I make or lose hundreds of dollars. It has all been up since I began.
I've sort of been thinking of laying them all out like dominoes and giving the first a tip to watch them all spin over. Should make a fun video if I can figure out how to do it.
