In the UK we call our money sterling although it is not technically silver anymore. As someone interested in manufacturing and products I don't just think about precious metals as investment based on their value separate to the manufacturing process. I think about the part they play in the production of goods and services. I say that because although not as rare I believe Silver is the next best thing for investors because of it's role in the production of resources related to AI and electronics. If gold was not the gold standard which precious metal would you consider the next best investment?

As far as investors go Warren Buffet is one of the most famous. Before I decided to learn directly about investing I knew who he is. Is he really that good and how good is his advice in a practical sense?

I have heard stories about how some day traders won't will stop trading for a period of time if they have had a fight with their significant other due to the emotional toll resulting in bad decisions. I think it's fair to say that alt investors learn to be wary of their emotional states when making investments. We all take losses in life, things happen so I am wondering how others handle them regards to investing. Do you just continue or do you have some kind of sabbatical until the storm has passed or perhaps another way. I usually slow down, I have tried to push through big losses and ended up crashing. How do you get back on the investment horse?
