i have up to this point been very high metals and relatively lower miners
and for 10+ years the stance worked, with paper profits mineralized and surplus savings solidified

i had always contended that at some juncture we must leverage our metals, else we merely make gains in terms of depreciated paper monies and (hopefully) relative to other goodies, whereas absolute gains may elude us unless we literally stay 100% metals (hard to do, not altogether astute, and certain impedes agility

two ways to leverage
(i) borrow against our metals and buy more, or
(ii) collect mining shares

i am just starting on the (ii) approach, maybe early, definitely not late
