10K, which metal to buy? 5 year hold

Cakes

So if you had to invest 10K into precious metals which would it be?

My thought is platinum, I just can't understand why it's so much cheaper then gold.

Thanks,

Do you have to invest it in PMs or do you just have it to invest?

Buy and flip 6 of the 2015 UHR's.

Buy silver,,,,, silver to gold ratio very favorable currently

Buy smaller sizes,,,, 1oz,,, 5oz,,, or 10 oz. Silver Eagles are always good.

Larger bars are not as easily liquidated when needed.

Any dealer can pay out for smaller sizes. Not everyone wants to buy a 100 oz bar of silver at any given time.

This works for me too

This: Silver Eagles are always good.
and that: Buy 4 and flip 3 of the 2015 UHR's.

Five year hold? Silver, hands down. ASE or canadian mint 10 oz bars.

While UHRs should do well, flipping any gold in a declining spot market is a gamble. Premiums of UHRs from the mint will be high.

Silver is cheap. I think this year's UHR will be a bust.

One of the reasons that silver and platinum are both relatively cheap is because of the slack industrial demand. Demand will always fluctuate. I'd say that the potential is about equal for platinum and silver, but platinum is a thinner market and the spreads will always be wider for platinum than for silver. Silver is more divisible and can be sold in smaller chunks. On the other hand, silver requires a larger storage footprint. Everyone's circumstances are a little different.

I see gold as a more stable savings medium in terms of price fluctuation, and it's market is mature & liquid with fair buy-sell spreads. It also requires a smaller footprint than silver, but can be kept in more easily transacted small chunks than platinum. I'd put the 5 year potential for gold at slightly less than that for silver or platinum, but not that much less.

For 5 years, I'd go with 25% silver, 25% cash, 25% platinum, and 25% gold. And I wouldn't even think of spending the cash.

I'd spread it around too.

With no other context than I'd budgeted $10k for precious metals, right now I'd be bidding on low MS $20 Saints and $10 Indians

Thank you for the all of the replies. The investment will be made in metals, here are my choices:

ASE's seems to be the obvious choice, maybe a monster box or multiple 5 and 10 oz bars.

7 - MS63 Saints.

7 - 2015 HR, I wish they had decided on a UHR but I guess a HR will have to do.
