Gold + Silver investment in India — good idea right now?
​
I’m considering starting a long-term investment in gold and silver, but I don’t want to blindly buy just because prices have been rising.
For people who have experience investing in precious metals:
\- Gold vs silver — how would you split the allocation?
\- Physical metals vs Gold/Silver ETFs — which do you prefer and why?
\- Is it better to invest gradually rather than putting in a lump sum?
\- What are the biggest risks I should consider at current prices?
\- For a 5–10 year horizon, what would you personally look at before investing?
I’m mainly interested in long-term wealth preservation/growth rather than short-term trading.
Would appreciate opinions based on actual experience rather than price predictions.
