I don't buy anything like pressed bullion bars. Being only worth $40 a pound it's not really worth it and the price is at an all time high, the time to buy was 2 years ago.
If you buy something, cobalt, gold, platinum, silver, rhodium at an all time high you are just about guaranteed to loose money.
I have purchased 11 ounces of platinum near a 10 year low, 40 some odd ounces of silver near a 2 year low, sold 5 ounce of rhodium at a 7 year high, then before that sold 8 or 9 ounces of gold when gold was at about a 2 year high.
