What's your ratio? Gold to silver to platinum

Weiss

Inspired by @jmski52 's post in @MKUltra24's thread.

I keep a pretty accurate excel file of my PMs, so it's a pretty easy thing to calculate.
Not talking about dollar amounts--just percentages or fractions of your whole.
I was only considering spot value on these items--not numismatic, collector, antique, or other values.

I was a little surprised to find I'm almost precisely:
AU: 70%
AG: 25%
PT: 4%
PD: 1%

That tells me I'm probably a little too heavy in gold and not strong enough in platinum--even adding Pd & Pt together I think I'd still like to be a little north of 10%. Great excuse to splurge!

Im guessing 75 ag
25 au

I have 0% records other than my own memory of events

Au 45%
Ag 20%
Pt 15%
Rh 15%
Pd 5%

@RobM said:
Au 45%
Ag 20%
Pt 15%
Rh 15%
Pd 5%

But might ne better to express as a ratio of relative volumes with smallest holding given the denominator of 1.

Physical spot value 62% Au 38% Ag
54% Au 46% Ag if we are counting both physical and paper PM.

No Pd and maybe an ounce total of Pt somewhere, not even enough to register. I've been dumping physical gutter for the better part of the past 2 years and continue to do so. The proceeds go to gold and paper gutter. End goal is to be 100% physical Au with a bit of paper gutter. No more nasty arse toned gutter for me. RGDS!

I had a low percentage of AU in relation to AG so I focused on building up a better ratio, now almost dead even…

37% AG
36% AU

I like the Platinum groups and also have nearly equal parts of each at

14% PT
13% PD

I also have a few rhodium pieces for further PM diversity but they would only serve to skew these tidy numbers above so I’ve excluded them.

I'm heavy gutter at 100-1

I used to shoot for 25 Ag / 50 Au / 25 Pt, but over time it became 15/70/15, and that works pretty good.

I’ve observed that Ag and Pt track each other fairly closely, with the caveat that Pt isn’t as liquid, but it stores more easily, thus it’s a two-edged sword.

Ratio is where is should be. No specifics, it brings out the troll who stays up at night worrying about my trading. He needs a good night's sleep.

I can’t comment because my % of Pb is growing off my numbers.

Downtown1974

For just bullion/stacking purposes, I’m 100% AU.
I do have some silver numismatic coins in my coin collection.

ricko

I am about 65/35 AU/AG... and a mountain of Pb... Cheers, RickO

70au/30ag seems about where I've settled in over the last twenty years

I really need to sit down and figure it out.

All $20’s ( all no problem OGH because I like it that way) except my one Lucky French Angel 20 Franc gold ( it would be unlucky to get rid of it) 0% everything else.

Virtually all of my gold is numismatic, so it’s hard to say, furthermore most of my silver bars are vintage and collectible type. I don’t really have a traditional “stack”

Some of the bars:
Some of the bars are just bullion value, but I go for the cooler poured type.
