If it's retirement, just put it in a target fund based on the year you plan to retire. Almost every brokerage has it. I think I'm in the Fidelity Freedom 2045 fund. They are incredibly diverse and adjust as you get older. Yes they aren't fancy, but it's easy and probably end up providing much better returns than if you went at it on your own.

The only thing to watch for is expense ration on these. Vanguard is probably the best at this and carry some of the lowest out there, although Fidelity is not far behind.

Get a ROTH IRA. Government doesn't tax it and if our self employed I believe you can put in up to 30K annually. Again NO TAX.

I believe the max you can do per a Roth is 6K individual, 12K couple. And there is income limits, if you make too much you can't do it. But if you can qualify it is a good way to go since will be able to take out your money 100% tax free at the end. Which is huge. A lot of retirement investments like 401K, Traditional IRA, you will have uncle sam taking a big part of your checks when it comes time for you to retire and take payments.

So there is no fundamental reason behind this? JPM and HSBC don't have lawsuits against them for selling contracts into the market without actual silver backing them? The comex is low on physical silver? You provided no ARGUMENT at all, just a loose opinion that is based on what? Provide some actual points not hearsay

The University of Texas' endowment made waves this week when it revealed a move to take physical delivery of 664,300 ounces of gold bullion. At $1,500 per ounce, that stash is worth nearly $1 billion, or about 5% of the endowment's total assets.

Keep in mind: the announcement made headlines because it remains patently uncommon for large-scale institutional investors to approach anything in the neighborhood of a 5% allocation to gold. As the metal continues its advance toward $2,000 and beyond, you can bet that additional big-money players will climb aboard in similar fashion; but to date these remain the exception rather than the rule.

Most are out priced by now, your best bets are some of the stocks if you want to invest in this sector.
