Similar to K_T above, I buy PMs to save rather than to invest, and chose it above other methods of saving because of the protection it offers against a monetary collapse.
 
I had money sitting in a bank account which I didn't foresee myself needing any time soon and pretty much earning zero interest, so PMs seemed a low risk way of diversifying my savings, and as a bonus it has actually turned out to be rather addictive fun

Yeah this trend seems to be developing the past few months.  Might have to re-name us The Gold Forum
 
Speaking for myself, I'm married to silver but I'm having a secret affair with gold at the moment ;)

@ ChrisSilver - my buying power is currently greatly reduced due to the wife wanting the bedrooms + kitchen revamped
 
Will be a couple of months before I get into full swing again, hopefully I dont miss these lower spot prices.
