what % of your portfolio/net worth is in precious metals

Question

Taking an informal poll here to get a sense of how many guys are long precious metals (gold, silver, palladium, platinum, etc) via the physical metal or equivalent futures (etf included) and what % of there portfolio/net worth is in the trade.

Trying to get a sense if people are in this trade in a small way or big way right now. I see the commercials on gold and I'm assuming retail is in this trade in a large way.

My allocation is as follows:

Gold: zero %

Silver: zero %

Other metals: zero %

Only thing that comes close is I have a 15% position in met coal stocks (anr, pcx).

Thanks in advance. Also curious if those have any opinions on how this trade will look 1-2 years out.

Just got out of SLV on Friday, jumped in at 26.  Will look for re-entry around 30-30.50

be easy · Answer

good luck with thatwhen it dipped to 26ish, i thought about dumping more of mine. But that quick run back to 30&#x27;s and now busting thru new highs to 33&#x2B;, i went on ebay to see what i could list some rolls of eagles for, and it seemed as if they were selling as high as 38$ each I&#x27;ll be damned if i&#x27;m selling into the march to 50

Jamill24 · Answer

I  agree completely, this is going to $50 IMO, but I do think we have a couple days of consolidation, maybe 2-3 days...Regardless of where it is, I will get back in.  Just hoping for a small dip and will pounce again.   BTW, I had 50% of my portfolio in SLV, once I jump back in I will move to a 60-75% position.

Just saw that Silver is up to $33.85,  completely guessed wrong on the continued run.  Looks like it will be a Tuesday morning gapper for SLV.    DAMN!

I took a poll here, on the trading desk, and with some of what I would call seasonal investors.

What I found is that most of these guys, not all, but 95% (took a poll of 50+) do not own any silver/gold or very little.

I think most feel underallocated this asset.

Good luck.

Price targets here are SLV hits $43 and GLD hits $1750 both over the next 12 months. I'm buying leaps.

currently about 60% in slv oil and gld long term and ugl, agq, dyy, shorter term movement plays,..... got in agq at 127 but only own 100 shares currently bc i sold most around 150 and 175 levels...always good trade to take gains..... another 20% in energy etfs and the rest in cash to trade

i'd highly suggest commodity and energy stocks/etfs/funds whatever you are partial to and can get in to
