You dont have to buy a kilo at a time in gold, you have small coins worth a couple hundred. Aim small. In the end youll alwaysblose too much with silver. There is something they dont show in the US but they do in some european countries. Its called bounty in mine, its basically the overvalye compared to the metal price of any coin or bar. For example, the 5$ liberty coins are less rare than the 5$ indian head so the indian head is more expensive for the same amount of metal. Bounty on silver is HUGE because its heavy without having much value, hence my comment about shipping costs and all. Look for gold with the lowest amount of bounty on it to get weight for your money.
Usually trading fees are about 5%, no idea how much in the us but probably loweelr than that. To make your investment woethwhile you need a general increase of 5% of what you bought to start making money. Gold will always, always increase overtime. It will fluctuate, but will always increase, especiallly in hars times.
