Gold vs. Silver: Where are you guys at with allocation

I've been thinking a lot about my precious metals allocation lately, specifically the gold vs. silver split. For years, I’ve been heavily weighted towards gold, probably a good 70/30 split gold to silver within my physical holdings, and even more so in my IRA. My reasoning has always been gold’s stability and its role as a more traditional hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty. Given the crap show the last few years have been, that’s largely paid off, helping my overall portfolio sail past the $5 million mark comfortably.

However, it feels like silver is starting to whisper a different tune. The industrial demand is undeniable, and with all the green energy initiatives ramping up globally, that’s only going to accelerate. I’m an entrepreneur myself, always looking for growth opportunities, and the thought of silver having a stronger upside potential right now is tempting. I’ve currently got about $750k in physical silver spread between my home safe and a vault service, and another $250k or so in some mining stocks and ETFs, but I'm wondering if I should be increasing that physical stack.

My Gold IRA, on the other hand, is almost entirely gold given how I structured it with my advisor a few years back. The initial goal was capital preservation and long-term stability for that portion of my wealth. But with the gold/silver ratio hovering where it is, it makes me wonder if there's an argument to be made for rebalancing a portion of that into silver. I’m in Scottsdale, so access to dealers isn’t an issue, but making a significant move in my IRA isn’t something I take lightly. Are any of you making aggressive moves into silver right now, or are you sticking to a more conservative gold-heavy approach? Especially for those with sizable portfolios, how are you thinking about this balance?
