How Much Silver Should You Own-RIGHT NOW? (6 Critical Questions!)

- How much silver should you own right now? In this video I raise 6 critical questions to ask yourself about silver and gold. How much precious metals should you have in your investment portfolio? Can you be overly allocated with silver and gold? One size fits does not fit all when it comes to investing in silver and determining the right silver and gold asset allocation. It actually depends on several factors. I’ll give you my rule of thumb for a good precious metal target--how much silver and gold I think you should own right now (especially if you’re a new stacker.). And at the end of the video, I’ll give you a really cool silver stacking tip from an expert precious metals trader, Mukarram Mawjood--Chief investment officer of Blackstone Commodity Group.
I stack silver and gold to hedge against our debt-fueled, fiat currency-based economy that I am convinced is in deep trouble. Consider stacking silver and gold yourself to help you build and preserve wealth. And thank you for watching Yankee Stacking!

#HowMuchSilver #YankeeStacking #SilverTips
60% silver to 40% gold sounds a little steep for most people. In my opinion if you’re strictly buying for a preservation of wealth then that sounds reasonable but if you tend to stack for a combination of wealth preservation and SHTF then I would think a 80% silver to 20% gold is better (maybe even a 90-10 split) because in a SHTF situation silver will be easier to trade for your everyday needs such as services and goods. Great video as always Yankee. Thank you and keep up the great work!
Appreciate the perspective, JAKL's CCH! And for your membership. 👌
that's very helpful
Same thoughts here in the Netherlands.. 31/2022
Normies: naysays silver and gold because they can drop in value
Normies: buys a car on a seven year loan
GOOD POINT! Thanks for watching. 👌
Lmao 🤣 now they are buying NFTs .. basically jpeg image for 1000s idiots
Thanks as always Yankee great information
Thanks for watching, Ink! 👌🏼
Very nice vlog! It was interesting!
I'm a a modest 65oz. silver and 2/10oz. of gold right now. unfortunately had to liquidate at the beginning of the year. was laid off due to the cough and couldn't get through to unemployment for 6 months
Sorry to hear that. Hope your back on your feet now! Thanks for watching. 👌🏼
I think that is great advice.
I really appreciate that, Scott! Thanks for watching. 👌🏼
Thanks Yankee!
I love how you spread out those silver coins like a dealer does with playing cards lol. Very smooth sir. Awesome video buddy with a lot of great info for everyone. I always enjoy seeing the notification pop in when you drop your new videos. It makes my day A-OK!!! Thank you for that Yankee. I had a rough day so this video really put a smile on my face.
Aw, Shawn. This is the last comment I’m replying to before I watch some football. And it was the MOST ENCOURAGING ONE TONIGHT!! Thanks buddy. 😊👌🏼
That is a very interesting take on a ratio. I like it. Always looking to adjust my goals by learning more about the two. Thanks for another good video. Keep it coming.
Thanks for watching, Eric. 👌
Thank you for the fantastic video and the very sound advice. You have been and continue to be a wealth of wisdom and inspiration. I greatly appreciate what you do for this community.
Thank you so much for watching! And for those kind words. 👌🏼
Hey Yankee! Keep on stacking brother
Thanks! You too!
Beginner stacker here! I adore your videos Yankee! So clear and explanatory! Love from Czech Republic!!
I transferred my cash savings to over 300oz of silver (mainly coins) in the last 6 months
Thanks so much! Great to have you watching from the Czech Republic. And I LOVED PRAGUE!! 😍👌🏼
What’s the limit for buying gold anonymously in the Czech Republic?
@@antonv3150 Hi Anton, in CZ there is no particular limit on buying gold anonymously. However, we DO have a limit of 270 000 CZK (about 12 000 USD) which represents the maximum cash payment allowed for a given transaction. If you wish to make a purchase above this amount (no matter what; car, apartment, precious metals, ...) it must be by bank transfer/payment, hence, not anonymous anymore! Take care, stack high!
Loved this video. Really am excited for your next ones on your portfolio. Cheers and thank you .
It’s gonna drop on Wednesday! Thanks for watching. 👌🏼
@@YankeeStacking cheers mate !
I cannot thank you enough for your wise advice and sober information when it comes to stacking. I started my stacking journey back in March and was laser focused on Silver under $20. I feel fortunate that I was able to catch a near perfect entry point for building a base. A GSR over 100 made silver a no brainer compared to gold at that time. I picked up my first gold, a 1/10 oz Eagle, in July and I have been transitioning my stacking choices to include more gold as the GSR fell into the 70’s. It builds confidence to hear from you and the expert that my strategy is in line with best practices. Keep up the good work and thank you!
Excellent job! And thank for the kind words. Great to have you watching my channel! 😊👌🏼
Great video!!!!!
Thanks for watching, Rachel. 👌
Hey Yankee! Love your videos. Just started working on my stack with silver. 🪙👌
Then this one was JUST for you!! Thanks for watching. 😊👌🏼
Started Stacking a few months ago. Have 1200 oz Silver and 2 oz of gold. Im doing 1 oz of gold for every 500 oz of silver.
Well done! Thanks for watching. 👌🏼
Finally! Someone that understands why gold and silver. Great video. I enjoyed watching your metals as well! 💯
Thanks so much, Sonia Tobia! And thanks for watching. 👌🏼
For the very, very new beginners, I think building up to 100 ounces of silver before mixing in gold would be an excellent goal and feeling of achievement, before moving on to a more consistent mix of silver and gold.🔥🔥
Yeah, and then set a NEW goal, right? 😄👌🏼
That's what I have done, 100oz of silver and 1oz of gold, now I'm considering it best to reach 4-500 oz of silver before investing in another ounce of gold. My first ounce of gold consist of four 1/4oz Kangaroos. Presently I'm 40oz up on my next 100oz of silver. With my budget I have to keep it slow and steady (5-10 oz per month). I plan to keep half of my savings in fiat currency and half in precious metals.
1/2 year stacking and i have 150 ounce silver and 7,5 ounce gold .
Good stuff Yankee! 👍 I like the rule of thumb idea. For me, my goal is 1 oz of gold to 10 oz silver.
That’s a really aggressive ratio!! 😃👌🏼
@@YankeeStacking lol yeah it's a journey. Long term goal stack ratio.
A word to the young out there. I kind of feel weird saying that I am a stacker now. I never thought I’d become a stacker until I saw the FED start packing the market with trillions of fiat. So, I started buying PM’s and the other day was having a chat with a friend. I felt more comfortable having found an unknown fellow stacker. However, I damn near choked when I found out he was sitting on a 1/4 million in physical, I didn’t feel so weird anymore, yet regretted I didn’t get started decades earlier like he had done. A little bit out of each paycheck can go a long long way. If only I could roll the clock back 30 years.
@@lamarravery4094 Dollars
Well done, Bryan!! 👌🏼
I feel exactly the same!
I'll be teaching my son the same, and already got a head start for him. It's a great hobby, habit, and way to teach financial responsibility. I just love my gold and silver.
Working toward a cannon still on both silver n gold. But you created a monster! Thank you for starting us on this wonderful adventure. You da man!!!💪💪💪
MONSTER?!! I hope not!! 😆 Thanks for watching, Goonie. Appreciate my members!!! 👌👌
@@YankeeStacking 🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Yankee
Thanks for watching. 👌
I’m excited to see the overview of your diversification of your portfolio. Love the good pyramid. :)
Dropping Wednesday! Thanks for the support, Silver Sandbox! 👌🏼
@@YankeeStacking Definitely going to keep an eye out for that video! :)
My goal on silver is 500 oz. I am half way.
That fantastic, Kevin! Just think about the fact that you are part of the .0001% in our country with that much silver! Thanks for watching. 👌🏼
Go all in. Be brave.
Yeah, Fergie. Eating is so overrated. 😂
Thanks Yankee
Thank YOU my friend!! 😃👌🏼
Thank you 🇺🇸
Thank YOU for watching! 👌🏼
I only make enough to buy an Oz of silver at a time. but I make sure to stack it!
Good for you, Julio!! Slow and steady wins the race. Thanks for watching. 👌🏼
Awsome! I started stacking last month. I'm up to 12oz and counting. Everytime I get paid Im gonna convert a % into silver.
Just how it should be! Wish I could stack as hard as some people can.
Love you guys!
@@michaellastname3924 I'm in same boat. Both of my brothers make more than I do but I have more assets bc I live below their standard of living. I'm laughing all the way to retirement as I invest ever penny I run into. Keep some cash for sales that come up when foolish people start hurting
Excellent six questions. Answering these questions honestly will tell each and every person “how much they should own.” For me, it’s greater than 400 and 1. Lol.
Brilliant video!
What is your ratio???
@@YankeeStacking I started stacking this July. 600 ounces of silver, 50 ounces of silver I’m still awaiting delivery on and 3.6 ounces of gold. So my personal gold to silver ratio is currently about 185:1.
I am trying for the 100 oz silver and 1 oz gold ratio. Bought 2 1/10 oz gold coins today on the dip 👍
That’s a tough ratio right now. Good luck with the stacking, Ron! And thanks for watching. 👌🏼
Hi Yankee Stacking! Great self assessment questions. Balance is the key.
Very true! Thanks for watching. 👌
I'm at a ratio of 6.6 to 1 silver/gold and precious metals make up 21% of my net worth. I may move that up to 25%.
That's a high percentage. Thanks for watching. 👌🏼
I can’t wait to see your portfolio!!!!
TOMORROW!!!!! 🤪
Well I almost have the one ounce of gold. But no where near 400 oz of silver lol I got like 55. Been stacking since mid July.
Good for you, Mike! Thanks for watching. 👌
@@YankeeStacking np. Need 9 grams to have the oz of gold. But long way for the silver. If I even continue with silver, I may wait for prices to go up sell the silver and wait for a dip and buy more gold. 🤔
Heard someone say your weight in silver and your age in gold.
I’ve heard that too. Can be a bit daunting for many stackers-especially new ones! Thanks for watching. 👌🏼
Wouldn't be very many people lying about their weight or their age then. I'm 185 lbs and 29 years old. BAHAHAHAH 🤥
I can't afford 92 ounces of gold!
How would this saying go in metric units? At least age is same :)
So what you're saying is I need a treadmill and a salad pronto!
This year I have pulled a lot of my savings from the bank and purchased around 350 oz silver and 2.6 Oz of Gold. Waiting for another good dip of silver to 18-20 to buy more.
Very nice! Thanks for watching. 👌
Now's the time.
Just restarted my "silver craze" about 90 days ago. I used to have somewhere around 300oz of silver and a couple 1/10 gold eagles. Sold everything about 5 years ago. Getting back up there. As of 11/20/20...I'm at 68oz.
Very nice!! Thanks for watching. 👌🏼
@@YankeeStacking within the last hour, Morgan Stanley just stated they see the value of the dollar weakening another 10%.
Wow before watching this video I was aiming for 90% gold and 10% silver! Are we talking about dollar value or weight?
That is going to be hard 😫...but ill try to do it 💰
Hi Yankee! If I were in the US, I would definitely buy more physical silver. The problem is that in most European countries, VAT at a rate of 20% is included in the price of silver.
IK. It’s tough for you guys. Check these silver VAT stats on for size:
Sweden: 25%
Denmark: 25%
Italy: 24%
Ireland: 23%
Finland: 23%
Poland: 23%
Latvia: 21%
Spain: 21%
Belgium: 21%
Bulgaria: 20%
Slovenia: 20%
UK: 20%
Austria: 20%
France: 20%
Russia: 20%
Germany: 19%
Netherlands: 19%
Luxemburg: 17%
Switzerland: 8%
Estonia: 0%
Norway: 0%
Yikes!
Great video Yankee! Keep them coming. If I ever get an extra 10 dimes, I'll give the 60/40 split a try👊😁
LOL! Thanks for watching. 👌
I’m now stacking for my second go around. I do like the idea of a 400 to 1 but I would like to be more at the 500oz of silver and 3oz of AU.
Nice! And that's a good ratio too. 👌🏼
@YankeeStacking: In regard to the liquidity issue, I am finding it difficult to develop an exit strategy. Can you put a short clip on this subject? Thanks for all you do Yankee!
Eric, I can! But I would STRONGLY recommend you speak to an expert with the selling perspective of precious metals (I don’t sell mine). Let me know if you want to chat with Mukarram like many of my members have! 👌🏼
@@YankeeStacking I should correct myself. I am looking to re-organize my stack which necessitates liquidation of some graded ASE’s and Silver Proof sets amongst other things so I can purchase more constitutional and foundational items for my stack.
Coincidentally I am at 432 S and 2 G ounces since March lol so I am right on track. I’m just glad I have been preparing with fiat for a long time that I was ready in March 2020 dip.
Good for you Frankie!! 👊🏼😃👌🏼
I like both silver and gold. I like gold a lot better. I don't really keep track of a ratio at this point in my life, but I'm a long time holder of metals. I've been coin collecting and stacking for over 40 years, and I still love it. I caught gold fever a long time ago. I typically buy gold, and will pick up the odd piece of silver now and then in the form of a vintage bar, or poured piece from my LCS if they have something I like when I'm buying gold. I don't plan on ever selling, unless I absolutely have to. I plan on passing it on to my kids and future grandkids. Great video, really good info.
Good for you, William. And I don't plan on ever selling as well (God willing). Thanks for watching. 👌
As for the 60/40 split. It all comes down to risk tolerance and affordability. If you can stomach the volatility, silver may be the better bet for rate of return. If you strictly want to protect wealth gold does a better job in my opinion.
Correct! And if you are a prepper stacker focused on a potential post-SHTF scenario silver may be a larger percentage. If you expect to need to bug out-maybe more gold! Thanks for watching. 👌🏼
Thanks for the video Yankee, i stack silver and gold, but silver more now its still cheap..
Same! Thanks for watching. 👌
Great video with smart info. I'm doing fine with that 400/1 ratio so far, starting stacking just in July: closing in on 100 oz silver and over 1/4 oz of gold so far! Gonna use that holiday bonus to grab more gold next month when/if another big dip hits, plus some sliver too.....always grabbing a bit o' silver every week! Thanks again
Well done on your stacking!! Thanks for watching. 👌🏼
I like Mukaram’s advice I do something in between his recommendation and the Yankee method. I do about 70-100 ounces of silver to 1 oz of gold. I believe the gold to silver ratio should be reflected in your stack! What do you think Yankee? Has Mukaram’s advice swayed you to tighten the gap? Very smart guy btw, I liked his commentary in your other video as well where he talked about how traders consider if an asset is over bought or over sold more than the price, very astute.
Mukarram knows his stuff! I'm super pleased to have him be a regular contributor. Thanks for watching. 👌
@@YankeeStacking thanks Yank
Stack to your comfort level! Piece of mind!
Depends on how i feel, i hold more silver then gold waiting for the ratio, this week im buying 3oz of gold, talks about this global reset, gold makes sense
Thanks for watching. 👌
60/40 split: Silver is treated like stocks and gold becomes like bonds then. That is an interesting perspective. Thanks for the insight.
I'm a very low earner so the 60-40 would be too difficult I think for me. I'm planning on 5oz silver a month and probably 2.5 grams of gold or possibly 1/10th oz of gold if pick up over time. Fingers crossed I get this promotion at work then I'll be able to get 10oz silver a month and 1/10th oz gold without much difficulty. Great video. New staker here. Will watch more videos later 👍
Congrats on your stacking journey, Joseph! You’re doing well. Check out my playlist “Stacking the Yankee Way” for some good new stacker videos!
@@YankeeStacking gonna watch right now 👍
I really do like the 60/40 approach as I am currently looking at a reallocation strategy
Nice! Thanks for watching. 👌🏼
Exactly, commission based sales for stocks & bonds.
Yup! Thanks for watching. 👌🏼
I'd say 1 oz of gold for every 100 oz of silver or double the ratio, meaning if the gold to silver ratio is 1:60 then get 1 oz of gold for every 120 oz of silver. Then if you are a beginner or can only spare a small amount for savings currently I'd just focus on silver and build from there. Overall I do 25% precious metals, 25% stocks (Have to know what your doing/be somewhat educated, understand cost average investing/dividend investing with compounding), 25% real estate (including your own home/land), and 25% savings for essential payments and opportunity cost such as if the stock market falls or the price of silver temporarily drops so you have some disposable income to purchase at discount rates (avoid premiums).
@yankee stacking maybe can we get a update on this subject please :) thanx for all the info
We know silver will outperform gold so i don't have much need for gold. I like the 400:1 ratio. When silver is on its way up i will diversify in stock. Right now i want more silver.
Well, gold serves a slightly different purpose than silver. There are great reasons to own BOTH. czcams.com/video/OwijzIHpie4/video.html
My diversification is I buy a variety of silver! Lol. Love it!! I think silver is a fun way to save. I'm 58 so my longterm view is 10 to 15 years. I've been doing this since May this year just now up to 200oz silver.🦌🦌🦌
Thanks for watching. 👌
I started stacking in August and I'm up to almost 1600 ounces of silver! Yep, all silver! At 75/1 price ratio, the obvious way to go is silver at this point. Just my humble opinion. I've started getting some collector coins now and am really high on Theta. Working on getting my guardian node set up. Enjoy your videos Yankee!
1600 ounces in around 3 months? Thats amazing.
@@dazzfreezee3976 yea, I would have kept going but my wife told me to slow down. Haha
So I started focusing on Theta! 🤷♂️
Thanks for watching, Nichollas! 👌
Yes Sir, "just one more ounce", I can relate to that 😄
IKR?! 😆👌🏼
600 ozs AG and just 1 $5 AU half Eagle 1910. Looking into adding more AU slowly and continue accumulating AG on my way to 1000 ozs. The recent AG high I sold 10-10 oz RCM bars for $4300 CAD. Now slowly refilling at these sale prices. Bought most of AG at the $16 USD level so no problem if it wants to drop further, higher I sell lower I buy back.
Good strategy! Thanks for watching. 👌
I need more than "just one more ounce" ... I'm waaaaay behind.
😂 Slow and steady, Jimmy!! 👌🏼
That's ok Jimmy, pick up what you can when you can. At least you are starting to accumulate, and that is better than what the majority of the people are doing.
I make about 40,000 a year, half from working on my parents farm and the other half from unemployment. In just shy of 3 years I've accumulated almost 700 in silver and over 15 in gold. About 3/4 of my silver is flatware, silverware, and jewellery from local thrift stores. And the other 1/4 has been from reputable dealers. As for gold it's about the same, 3/4 of my stack has been from thrift stores buying jewellery and finding stuff they had missed, just this week I scored a ladies seed pearl 14k necklace that weighed 9.6 grams. Marked for 29.99$. I also stumbled across a 31.6 gram sterling necklace for 2$ and a pair of 14k white gold earings with 2 star black sapphires in each earing for 2$ no tax..the other 1/4 of my gold stack has been from reputable dealers, but paying spot plus premiums on silver and gold surely sucks when I'm constantly finding fine jewellery and antiques for pennies on the dollar.
Good hunting. But be aware you will take quite a 'bath' if you try to convert those to cash. Figure no more than 50% of current spot price on your finds.
@@edsmith4414 that's okay if he's paying a few dollars for something worth $100 or more. He would still be ahead.
I like David Morgans rules based on the SGR better. Based on that, I am focusing on AG for now.
Far be it from me to question the great David Morgan, but I’m not as sold on the modern case for a low GSR. czcams.com/video/ktGawj3Uoiw/video.html. Thanks for watching! 👌🏼
@@YankeeStacking good video Yankee I didn't see that one. Why did you raise the price of silver to reach your ratio examples against a non increasing gold price? anyway, stop poppin' my bubbles dude! good videos I enjoy them :-)
I remember him saying that 60/40 split on the live stream. Personally I'm way closer to 80/20 Silver to gold. Those are all excellent questions to ask. Frankly not too many people ask themselves such things before they start investing. I've personally worked with folks who only think about investing when the investment manager that ran the 401k for my employer at the time came in annually to answer questions and review portfolios. I think we in the stacking/prepping community are at least mostly, if not to a man, wiser than that. It's great to have some targeted questions and I sure hope folks who haven't before stop and ask themselves these questions. Thanks as always! 👍
Thanks Quicksilver! We need to teach the economic/investing skills that are so often lacking in our society! Thanks for watching. 👌🏼
I have no gold yet. Over 1000 oz silver. Hope I didn’t make a mistake
I'm close for a semi beginner. Got 300+ and 2.5ish
That’s impressive! 😃👌🏼
For a new investor stacker I like 100% silver until it gets too much to carry or move around with you if you had to move locations... I would think when you get to an amount that is too much hassle to carry with you then start diversifying into gold to reduce carrying weight..
60/40 ratio in my opinion is a good balance but for the ones that don't have that kind of money to put towards PM I would say 80/20 with majority being silver. Once you have a hefty stack in silver then (again my opinion) you can start saving for fractional gold to make an ounce in total (with main focus being at least 1/10 to 1/4 ounce increments).
Love the strategy Jorge! You can’t go wrong with a bigger focus on silver at lower investment levels. Thanks brother! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
WELL I HAVE THAT AND I STARTED STACKING THE 3rd OF THIS YEAR WHAT YOU SAID.
GOOD FOR YOU, FRANK! 👌🏼
@@YankeeStacking THANK YOU
What should be the oz. Ratio for silver to gold?
Wow great info. So 60/40 is a good place to start or 400/1. Thank
You
I think so, Diane! Thanks for watching. 👌🏼
I bought on the dips. I bought what was on sale. I ended up owning as a starter with more gold than silver. Now I feel I can catch up my silver as it is still a lower cost buy.
Marla! Great to hear from you. You know, you and I seem to have started out by creating a base with gold and now we’re playing catchup with silver! 😆👌🏼
@@YankeeStacking I just had that feeling once I learned about real money that I HAD to get some gold quick in these times. Silver would be easier and it is.
👍Pyramid of gold maples niiiccee!🤤
You were the FIRST to notice that in the chat! 😃👌🏼
The question might ought to be "How much gold and silver should you own FOR YOUR AGE". Gold/silver should be looked at as a very speculative for an 'investment', and a very conservative for 'insurance'. If you're young, these small allocations would be fine, the bulk of your investments ought to be going for growth so that LATER you can up your allocation to metals as an insurance.
Don't get too wound up about stacking gold/silver at 30, concern yourself more with growth. By 50, move to a more rounded mix and being out of any kind of personal debt.
By mid 60's, move mostly to metals, the amount being dependent on how much of your retirement income will be needed from your investments.
At my age (72), my 'portfolio' consists of 50% gold/silver, 10% cash, 40% real estate (debt free personal home/farm + 1 small rental property). Also, not dependent on any of that portfolio for retirement income, so that is another huge factor for my mix.
It does depend on several factors. Depending on what the end goal is. Most of us are not completely ready for retirement, I would reccomend 25% allocation of retirement savings to metals for those wonder years. For the most part Gold and Silver are one of the only retirement accounts you can physically hold and transport.
Great comment! I’ll be interested in what you think of my next video where I lay out my personal portfolio.
I’d say no more than 10% of your investment stash and only if you can afford to loose it. More of a hedge, not a moneymaker.
Mine is 100% silver and 0% gold because i can't afford the shit.
I hear ya. You’re not doing ANYTHING wrong focusing only on silver. But at some point I bet you’ll like the “dense stacking” that comes with the yellow metal. Thanks for watching. 👌🏼
oh shit
Look at pre 1933 gold. I love them
Better then those fake dollars
Good evening Yankee, I looked at my account on line for the last 7years of stacking Silver 44.99 percent 55.01 percent gold which is all fractional 🤑🇺🇸💪🏽🇺🇸🙏🏿
That’s an IMPRESSIVE RATIO! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You questions are good. Diversity is kimg. As for Precious metals it depends on where you are and the laws in that region. Some countries are properly harsh on stacking one metal or the other for instance in UK silver has silly premiums and 20% Vat tax where gold tends to have lower premiums and no vat at all. Looking at the charts the ideal portfolio is 60% stocks and 40% gold and this has been the case for the last 50 years . For PMs I am Gold extremely Gold heavy ( by choice I'm from UK) i do have some silver too though .
VERY TRUE! I’ve mentioned VAT and the impact to especially silver stacking. In fact, check what someone sent me on the VAT:
Sweden: 25%
Denmark: 25%
Italy: 24%
Ireland: 23%
Finland: 23%

@@YankeeStacking some of those European countries don't pay all that vat on precious metals though as vat is only applied to the dealer profit section of the transaction. The UK isn't one of those countries though. We can currently legally buy silver near vat free from the EU although postage is a bitch (£30), but not after we have left the EU properly at the end of the year .
CCL and COTY have made me very happy this week. Always buy value boys and girls. If it's cheap, you want it. Imho, silver and gold is still cheap. 60/40 stocks/metal here.
I agree! And even cheaper today. 😉 👌🏼
Yankee, I started stacking just this year. My personal ratio is 100:1 Silver to Gold. Rationale being, Gold is at or near all time high. Silver is about halfway. I’m planning on using the leverage of lower silver for growth. Gold for the preservation..
Thoughts?
That’s good logic! 👌🏼
@@YankeeStackingI’m backing up the Acura to finish my monster box off tomorrow.
(with bullion prices the way they are) I am going for 500 ounces silver with 5 ounces of gold. Prefer 10 oz. bars and for now 1/4 oz. gold. Not trying to get rich, just preserve some of what I have. Even though I made out pretty good selling in 2011-2012 I regret not keeping my gold coins. It's easier for me to part with silver.
Well done, D S. 👌🏼
Similar situation. Sold gold for good profits in 2012, like 20 oz but now of course I regret it. Never ever sold any silver though, so Im overweight that as gold got so much more expensive in my currency, the NOK.
I would like to buy an 1 oz gold coin when/if I get the opportunity and a Buffalo seems real nice :-)
I'm 68/1 silver/gold right now. Never figured that out before and it was not planned, it just happened. Not buying any more gold ever except for jewelry and dental. Unless price drops back to $400. (my cost basis). Looking for 3 more Canadian monster boxes when the price dips and my finances improve. Then I will be so old I will start giving the stuff to my great-grandchildren. In the meantime I am buying bourbon buy the case and looking at REITs and emerging market stocks. You asked good questions, Mr. Yankee. I will have to watch this again.
$400 gold cost basis?! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@YankeeStacking In the mid 1990s. I remember buying silver rounds for $3.00
Premiums are the same as financial advisor commissions. And in many cases are much higher than you’d pay an advisor or for a stock purchase/trade. That being said I will still be stacking silver and gold lol.
But most of my stack was purchased at ridiculously low premiums. It can be done (or at least, it COULD be done last year!) Thanks for watching. 👌🏼
Looking at the 60/40 split in dollars when converted to ounces near current prices this equates to approximately 125:1. You've advocated 400:1, Mike Maloney states a 500:1 ratio. Is the former ratio more akin to an investor and the latter a stacker? Currently I'm nearer 630:1. Should I trade some silver for gold? Thank you Yankee and really appreciate your channel.
J A, I love Mike. I think its more of a level of speculation. Mike’s a bit more speculative than I with silver. And no, I don’t advocate a lot of switching of metals. Just keep what you have and just stack your target metal! Thanks for watching. 👌🏼
I like 500 oz of silver and 10oz Of gold as a good place to try and get to.
Noice!! 😛👌🏼
My goal is 1000 of Silver and 10 ounces of gold.
@@kingbeestacker873 That sounds great. I was just stating what my original plan was. Good place to start I think. good luck with your stack.
Agreed. Im around 325 silver and my goal is 500 oz. After that I would continue with just gold. 500 oz of silver (0ver 30 lbs) would be plenty to haul around.
@ready or not it is a lot of weight.
I'm planning for at least 5k oz of non-numismatic silver and 500 oz of gold. The numismatic silver and gold there is no limit, as long you like what you own. My stocks and bonds are hopefully going to grow enough to make it so I don't have to dip into my stack much, or at all.
Be careful of the bond market. It’s a dangerous place to have one’s money IMHO. You might want to check out my investment portfolio video dropping on Wednesday! Thanks for watching this one! 👌🏼
Is it a percent on the dollar, or percent of the volume of product? I’m honestly confused.
In these and upcoming times, I believe that a percentage "carve out" in these positions should be made for Junk Silver. Perhaps cut back 10% on Silver and 10% on Gold making the sum of those positions a target for Junk Silver.
I'm a 60% silver, 40% cash kind of guy.
If you don't hold it in your hands, you don't own it.
I may buy fractional gold in the future.
I like what makara said! 60/40
Did that sound good or WHAT? 😃👌🏼
@@YankeeStacking ahh man it was great! Lol
I’m at the 50/50 split area now, what do I do now???
Apmex got the 2020 Mexican libertad in I cannot get enough of silver
Bill, I have one on the way! 😁
That's a good goal I think
Thanks silver stallion! 😄👌🏼
@@YankeeStacking your very welcome yankee! How have you been?
Just a heads up, 2020 Libertads are available for pre sale at monument metals! Good luck!
Thanks Mikey!
pre sale is already over. already "notify me" button.
@@maritimezhang crazy
@@maritimezhang yankee probably bought them all lol
@@LandscaperLife i got the email at 4:20 pm, went online at 4:40 pm and it's already gone :(
Great video brotha. I personally don't stack to how many total ounces. Example, 200 ounces of Mercs. 300 in AE's. Bars in 5 n 10s. Same for gold. Say maybe 10 1/10's 5 1/4 ounces etc. I break each down depending on spot. It adds up. That guy has a good point 60/40. Just Stack Hard! Lol
Thanks Monte! Appreciate the insight into your stacking approach. 👌
STACK HARD !
Don’t stop stacking until you see the whites of wall streets eyes.
LOL!! Thanks for watching. 👌
I’ve only been stacking for a couple of years but I’m close to silver range and over the gold range so I guess I should of purchased more silver?
Keep stacking both! 👌🏼
