Even though I end up paying a bit more brokerage, I've deliberately spread thin my investments across approx 15 precious metal diggers for two good reasons:
1. To mitigate risk (worst case result of any company going rapidly down or under is that I lose no more than ~7% of total funds), and
2. There's a greater prospect of being on the profitable end of a takeover...which is becoming increasingly likely...

I'm interested in hearing from others on this thread as to roughly how many PM companies (or any companies) they hold stock in, if that many is deliberate, and why. Cheers,
