While each hard asset market has unique potential, most experts agree that any investing strategy should be based on the investor's ability to handle risk.  Many experts agree that diversity is important to a balanced portfolio.  Because different hard assets react differently to market conditions, the amount of your portfolio which is devoted to any one hard asset should be determined by balancing your specific objectives.  Are you investing, for example, for enjoyment, as a speculator, or to offset other investments.

Every investment has a degree of risk which the perspective investor must carefully consider.  Generally, high-risk investments offer the potential for strong returns, while low-risk investments yield minimal rewards but provide security.

Three important questions should be considered when investing:
Do you have investment goals?
Do you plan to invest for the short or long term?
How will you react to market volatility?

Planning is essential.  The astute investor plans for the long term, but knows when to take profits in the interim.  History has shown that many years go into a profitable hard asset portfolio.
