Many years ago the recommended allocation in PM's was 10%

However in the last 10 years or so 0% has been recommended.

Its up to you to decide if its different this time -g-

dunno about recommendation,

but i am at 8.54% PM, mostly physical, some certificates
and keep buying to maintain allocation

in any sharp downdraft due to liquidity crisis, am willing to go double or nothing

in back of mind, i struggle with the idea of go way heavy, but too risky before liquidity crisis

i almost think i should set my MS Money base currency as ounces of gold, thus gaining peace of mind holding just gold and real estate, and forget stuff involving management, r&d, sales, distribution, annual reports etc
