Precious metal allocation \ Poll

[TheApe]

What percent of your wealth is in precious metals?. When I say wealth I think you can include estimated value of assets like currency, property, stocks etc.

I am sitting at around 11 percent and contemplating if I should go higher or lower, so curious to see everyone else's thinking.

I left responses public as I thought it would be interesting to see each persons confidence in precious metals but let me know if I should change.

I am at about 3%, mostly gold.  This may be at the lower end of the scale but does not represent a lack of confidence, I just have a lot tied up in property.

accumulate up to as much gold(pm's) as your understanding allows - belangp youtube.

stay flexible and make changes to balance you holdings if and when it's required.

it's like waist size. each number is unique to everyone and changes with time.

I have about 30% in the PM complex (including miners) of my investible assets, or about 17% of my total net worth including home equity.

It changes for me. This year for example, I have increased my allocation to pm's in light of the incoming global financial difficulties I see on the horizon. If the markets don't react as I expect then next year I may trade some pm's in to increase my allocation in equities. 

But currently I am 50% pm's. Normally this would be closer to 25%.
