Your doing the right thing starting but just take one day at a time. I didn't mean to sound all doom & gloom but we have been witnessing great miss management of money by prominent firms and banks not knowing what some of these toxic assets are and giving triple a ratings on them.
Gold and silver will never go to zero and should always be a part of your overall investment portfolio. Most managers agree anywere from 5% to 20% depending on the economic climate with currencies around the world. Perhaps right now you might want to look at the high end of metals if you think Inflation will go crazy after all these stimulus packages. I think we are returning to a 1980 type environment myself.
