The problem with Bogleheads
As I’ve explored the various investing forums on this site, I’ve noticed that every forum is infested with Bogleheads. I had no opinion on Bogleism before I started looking at these forums, but I have quickly grown to despise Bogleheads. These people are the epitome of the Dunning Kruger complex …
Which currency to use for investing ?

Does anyone here use a simple view of gold, silver, USD, and stablecoins when thinking about allocation?

Three questions: How much of your portfolio is in silver? When did you invest? If 0% are you thinking about it?
Silverbug over here. Been buying for ages, and frequent the various silver forums, and really curious about the general population is viewing this precious metals run, particularly silver.
