Diversifying my Gold IRA with Silver - Anyone else?

Been a gold guy for a long time, probably 15 years now, almost exclusively. Started back when I was still waist-deep in the oil fields here in Dallas, seeing how volatile things could get even in a ‘stable’ industry. My Gold IRA's been my rock through a lot of economic ups and downs, typically hovering between 500k and a mil depending on the market, so it’s a significant chunk of my retirement nest egg.

Lately, though, I’ve been feeling like I should be a little less all-in on just gold. Don't get me wrong, I still believe in it wholeheartedly as the ultimate hedge. But I've been doing some serious re-evaluation of my retirement strategy, especially thinking about the next 10-15 years. Been playing around with this Retirement Planner tool I found online; it’s pretty neat for visualizing different scenarios, and it really got me thinking about maximizing my metals exposure beyond just yellow.

So, after a lot of research and talking to a few old timers from the industry, I decided to finally pull the trigger and add a decent chunk of silver to my IRA. Not as much as gold, obviously, but enough to make a difference. The industrial demand for silver, plus its lower price point, feels like it offers a different kind of growth potential, almost like a speculative play compared to gold’s pure stability. I’m hoping it’ll give me some extra upside, especially if inflation really starts to kick into high gear.

Anyone else here diversified into silver after being primarily a gold investor for years? What was your experience? Did you see the benefits you expected, or were there any surprises? Always curious to hear other people's perspectives on this.
