Investing in precious metals is a good way for any investor to diversify their portfolio. Precious metals, to most, primarily mean platinum, silver, and gold. From an investor standpoint, gold and silver are typically the top two choices. With silver, investors need to remember that the price is driven by market demand, and, just like gold, investors typically flock to silver for long-term holds. In comparison, however, silver is more volatile than gold but still considered a safe investment.
