been lookin at gold and silver lately and even got a few shares of some gold and silver related ETF's (PHYS & PSLV). but im curious, how much more do you guys think gold and silver are gonna grow this year, and do you think it would be worth picking more up?

Speculation isn’t investing, but there’s still money to be made. Silver and gold both got a long ways to go.
Go up yes, double again? Probably not. Add and hold long term with a small position in your portfolio is your best option. Metals shouldn’t be traded.
I’d be concerned with a longer pattern than just potential growth for this year…. go with something else that’s more tried and true.
Twice already in history you could buy the DOW for an ounce of gold. 3x incoming.
How high it can go is the wrong question. We need major catalyst for metal to reverse direction. The upcoming election is one such catalyst.
Just follow the dollar and where China is investing.
I think gold and silver is good.
FOMO is a real thing.
Gold has always been a hedge against inflation and uncertainty. We’re getting a lot of the latter so take that as you will.
So ready for metals to crash back down and be done for awhile again
Gold been ripping lately and I dont see it stopping tbh. Central banks are hoarding like theres no tomorrow and the geopolitical situation is a mess.
Silver is the more spicy play imo. Gold/silver ratio is still stupid high so if metals keep running silver should catch up eventually. More volatile tho so be ready for some wild swings.
I wouldnt put more than like 10% of my portfolio in this stuff but as a hedge its solid. PHYS and PSLV are the right picks, atleast you actually own real metal and not some paper nonsense.
Just dont become one of those guys who thinks gold is going to 50k and the dollar is colapsing next week lmao
When normies start investing u know the hype is over. AI is the next bull run of 2026
Gold is still a great hedge for a major monetary crisis, which given the US fiscal situation is possible. At the very least there is a lot of inflating in our foreseeable future which hopefully doesn’t completely destroy faith in the dollar.
If you buy it, make it a certain allocation you’re comfortable with at these price levels, and expect some volatility.
Silver can have big swings and I expect a correction this year. With silver it could be a 20-30% move. The data that I have shows there is more upside but you are really reacting. My gold and silver trades have already been made and am looking for a favorable entry.
Yes
Depends on how much more trump scares the markets , the economy, the world
