That's the thing right there. It used to be that a crisis or governmental uncertainty drove people to metals. I haven't really tracked it, but I also haven't seen much news about it either. When I was into coins I paid attention, and I know Barry collects pretty seriously.
The advice to decide which you like better is sound, if you like the stuff, even if it goes to zero you at least still have something you like.
