>>Because he doesn't know the future - but if it all goes to shit - he is hoping that 10% will preserve his wealth so he doesn't have to WORK HARD to be USEFUL >>Here is jet li in 1978 winning a wu shu competition as a little boy - he was working HARD back then - working HARD today - people that think you can sit on your ass and just HOARD shiny metal to stay rich - they very foolish. My comments were in regard to INVESTMENT allocation. Not the same as working. >>people that think you can sit on your ass and just HOARD shiny metal to stay rich - they very foolish. In Wimar time, working accomplished very little. Asset allocation was everything. Asset allocation also important during last gold run up in 78, also an exciting time. I have nothing against work or investments in other than PM. I am merely curious why so little proportion of TJ investment allocation in PM. But please shades, I am interested in TJ's response on this. Like others on this list I am constantly looking for safe and profitable investments... I am also in CAD and EUR and Oil income trusts... so I am curious. This is a special time for PM and hard assets. We may be in the early stages of a flight away from paper (or at leas US paper). There may be special opportunities here that happen only rarely in a lifetime. Best wishes... RJA
