By the time I retire, I should be able to do whatever I want.
Gold and silver are both good hedges against inflation. With the lack of inflation, silver has been down for quite a few years. I recall it being at around $25 an ounce at one time. Now it labors around in the mid teens.
Never hear of anybody ever buying Palladium. Wonder why that is?
