Question

What are the main risks of investing in precious metals?

Answer

Key risks include lack of yield (they don't pay interest or dividends), price volatility (especially for silver), and potential storage/insurance costs for physical assets. Liquidity can also be an issue for large physical holdings, and market prices are subject to global economic factors and supply/demand dynamics that are beyond individual control.
