This is the stuff to invest in. The prices go up and down, especially with Gold and Silver. But It always has value. Currently I'm making a fun little novelty wood chest to store all my silver in. I have only two gold pieces.

Pics for the sheltered chaps




Awww yeaaaahh

I'm buying more and more, and when the economy crashes so bad, I'll be ready.

Anyways, discuss any precious metals you've invested in. Or just talk about them in general.

Beryllium yeah!

Also I don't think gold looks very good compared to silver!

Which is why it's my personal favorite.

Gallium is a precious metal now?
I mean, it's more expensive than say, copper, but it's not exactly gold.

I don't understand people who think gold will save them in an economic collapse. People aren't going to be eating gold, or using it for shelter.

Out of all of those, Rhodium is the most expensive.

Considering the list has mostly transition metals that melt at like 100 degrees and can be bent in a strong breeze, this seems pretty inaccurate.

They're rare earth metals
Yes transition metals
But they're rare

The most precious metal on earth is Platinum-192.

I'm currently saving up for a Platinum watch.'

I only need about 50 thousand more dollars to go.

Expensive watches are some of the most obnoxious looking things ever. Unless it's a formal occasion watches don't look good. Especially these extremely expensive ones.

I collect watches.
I have watches that cost more than your life.
