I have a good enough sample of both Democrat and Republican friends; all my Republican friends have invested mostly in gold, and I haven't discussed silver with anyone, yet none of my Democrat friends have invested in precious metals... or maybe they just don't talk about it.

It seems like a bad idea to talk about how much gold you have, even with friends.

Wow, you really don't realize that your friend group is extremely biased to people with maxed out 401k's and more money than they know what do, do you?

Meanwhile, between 60 and 77% of Americans report living paycheck to paycheck. Sure seems unlikely that your claim that most Trump voters trade commodities is even remotely close to true.

Well, of course, we only discuss people who not only want to invest in precious metals, but can also afford it.
