For those with IRAs, you can rollover a portion of it into what is called a Gold IRA. Within a Gold IRA, you can allocate your holdings in silver as well as gold.

Make sure it's a certified Gold IRA however so you don't get taken advantage of conmen. There are strict rules surrounding Gold IRAs and typically your gold and silver are stored at a depository.

A couple years back, I moved about 20% of my total retirement savings into a Gold IRA. Now I'm thinking I probably should have done it at a higher percentage. But my index funds have been doing well also.

It you can’t touch it you don’t own it.

(Personally I don’t have any gold—but “safe” and “certified” depositories would give me zero comfort.)

That is true, but I have reservations about not being physically in possession of the gold.
