Started adding Krugs, Maples and then Eagles. I have at last count around 382 ounces total at the present time. Only time I sold any was I sold a few Saints in the early 70's and as a favor to a friend I sold 10 Eagles to him when gold hit $1000 year or so ago.

I still recommend both but my emphasis is on Silver. Think it is highly underpriced even tho it's pushing $25 an ounce. I personally believe silver is absolutely the best percentage of gain item in the metals market right now.

My advice is buy buy buy buy SILVER now before it gets to $50 and up. Oh yes, it will get there before the 2012 election. Mark my word.
