In no way am I begging.

I am quite serious, more people are slowly starting to invest in precious metal bullion and Stocks. More and more are begining to realize that paper money or even paper bullion (most ETFs) is not for them. AUM is a very good alternate.

I say one should have some gold and silver bullion but majority in PM stocks, because I expect bullion to be the early appreciator but PM stocks to follow but with greater profits. That is from observations/memory of circa 1980.
