Every investor wants to know what the ideal allocation in a portfolio should be. But the answer to this is complicated, as investing is a highly personal decision. To gain some clarity on this subject, we looked closer at the data to see what the average goldbug might use as guidance. We also address some of the common questions we’ve received from customers such as “should I convert my entire portfolio into gold”? Spoiler alert, we are fans of diversification as a risk reduction strategy. Today’s video should provide insight on how to research this topic further and consider how much gold to buy in a way that helps you apply your personal saving and investing philosophy. This video does not constitute financial advice, and we encourage our audience to speak with an advisor about their personal finances and goals when setting a target allocation.

What To Do When Gold as well as Silver Pump
My 2 Cents: 1) Keep these metals at less than 5% of your net worth if your net worth is below $500K. For every $250K above that, you can increase your metals by 1%. 2) With credit card interest hovering around 21%, NEVER stack if you have cc debt. 3) Metals are “savings”. Some will argue they’re “investments”… they’re not, unless you’re holding for more than 10-20 yrs. Invest in no-load mutual funds, established dividend stocks, real estate and fixed income deposits (CDs, $ markets) while you stack. Stacking is smart; diversification is NECESSARY.
Then what happens in an over night dollar devaluation or a bail in? You will only still have 5% of your net worth.
5%? The dollar is becoming worthless
Percentage of what exactly?? Your total assets value (house, stocks, guns, etc)??
Percentage of portfolio – it’s difficult to get more precise than that since everyone has money in different investments, some quite complex. Good question.
$75.00 Double Eagles purchased in 1965 continue to do very well for me!
Just like stocks prices go up and down, but at least it won’t go to zero
The comments aren’t full of fake investment advisor advertisements yet? Cool.
We try to delete those when they come in. Some of them are sneaky.
Yeah this made sense to me, not too technical, easy to understand, and that guy seems nice!

I see it as a hedge against the US Dollar. The US Government will find itself in a debt death spiral if deficit spending policies are not corrected fast. They already have 8 trillion that was near 0% renewing at 5%+ next year. I know the pattern because I went bankrupt myself 10 years ago. The first thing that happens is your 0% balance transfers go away and the debt costs you more. You can’t pay it off. Like just about everything, it goes slowly at first and then very fast.
I don’t know why we always have to talk about this in terms of percentages. It’s much more simple than this. 3 to 6 months of living expenses in physical cash held outside of the banking system. Enough Silver & Gold to account for your expected lifespan. For the average middle class American, this is going to mean 900 ounces of Silver & 36 ounces of Gold per year or 350 ounces of Silver and 43 ounces of Gold per year. If you’re in the upper middle class, just double those numbers and multiply by at least 10 or the number of years from right now that you expect to live under ideal conditions. Start thinking in ounces instead of percentages. Stick with 22k Gold coins, preferably Eagles, but have a few Krugerands as well. Smaller increment Gold is more liquid on a local level, and having a variety of Silver in 1 ounce increments and fractional 90% is your best bet.
The way I look at it is if you are not at least 80% gold or silver in physical form you are not even trying.
Wow look at those .9999 maples shine in the line up. Why would you buy anything else, thumbs-up
20% metals for me. Mostly gold.
I like goldbacks, I know the mark up price but it also makes it possible to own gold pretty easily. Nice art work on them as well.
This is what I do. Knowing that debasement of currency is never going to stop. I use gold as my savings account. The bank savings account or physical cash stash is just for an emergencies. So as far as percentage it’s irrelevant to me. Simply keep a set ammount of bank savings, cash, and then convert extra currency as is comes in to gold.
Are u gonna eat the gold when everything goes to crap? I’d buy ammo n food that lasts. One Dorito or bean is worth more than a diamond of any size if you are starving
You can never have too much gold.
Great advice! I’m an Apmex customer myself and I love the service. Just wish the premiums were a bit lower, but I don’t have anything bad to say about my experience with Apmex. 👍
Great video and content. Thanks for sharing.
