Why only 10%?

I would feel bad if I recommended 30-50% and then gold/silver took a tumble.
In the 1970’s gold halved in value over 1-2 years in the middle of its bull run.

Remember gold is a hedge against inflation. What if we slip into a deflationary depression? Which way will gold go then?

IMHO for novice investors 10% should be enough to protect your cash from inflation. For the more adventurous, risk whatever you feel comfortable with.

OK, I have £3K in a high interest saving account ready for this year's ISA (I always stick it in in early April to maxmimise interest) but I have another £2K there which I want to make the most of, as well as the rest of this year's savings. Any tips?
