Because the juice on physical precious metals is so high*, I added some stock to keep my portfolio at about 10% PMs:
DBP POWERSHARES DB MULTI-SECTOR PRECIOUS METAL
SIVR ABERDEEN STD SILVER ETF TR PHYSCL SILVR SHS
USLV CREDIT SUISSE AG NASSAU BRH NT
IAU iShares Gold TrustNYSE Arca:
Although it does not really track gold like actually owning it, I doubled my position in NUGT
And I have Cobalt covered with 10,000 shares of CBBLF (Not CBLLF) currently worth $70. Lots of upside in this one (sarcasm) although I'm down 63%. I should ahve used that $200 to bet some superfecta boxes at the track for better odds.
* Gold is at 1686, but if you want to actually buy it, a Gold Eagle is $1825 and a Maple Leaf is 1780
Silver is worse. Spot silver is 15.10, but a silver Eagle is about $25 and Canadians 21.50
Juice on gold is bad at ~8%, Silver is horrible at over 60%
Bars are a little cheaper for each, but harder to sell. Oh, and when you want to sell, they'll offer you spot. Effing racket.
