As for silver and gold, I know they say it's safe but is it really? You're buying a chunk of metal that there's no shortage of and the price fluctuates with the stock market. At least with precious metals you get something for your money that you can touch. So I guess it's better than a statement saying you own some shares in a company trading at 20x earnings.

I've lost enough on the markets to know it's not for me, if other can make huge money with it they are smarter than I am.
