I bet you can't find anyone. investing in gold or silver is great but its not a strategy for wealth. its a strategy to hedge against inflation or other things. its a store of value outside the banking system. gold and silver is investing for appreciation. you're speculating its going to be worth more in the future. Thats gambling in my book.
