Stole the idea from here:

What type of PM buyer are you:

- the buy and hold who likes lower prices and has strong hands
- the trader who likes price to rise and fall so as to derive value between the difference in the high's and low's
- the hardcore trader who follows all sorts of charting and stuff like that to make dollar profits on spreads and even 'shorting' the market
- the speculator who likes to buy high and sell low (ok, just kidding, but they tend to buy in a rising market and try to sell at the top of it)
- the noob (or unfortunate) who puts lots of $$ into PMs and then realises that he needs to buy dinner and has to cash out at today's prices
- the stocks-trader/investor/speculator who thinks that owning part of the cow is better than owning the milk
- the collector who just likes PMs because they are pretty
- the weak hand who doesn't really know what his/her investment strategy is, and gets spooked easily
- the sheep who follows the investment direction of someone else without really knowing what they're doing at all
- the GSR trader who likes to try and convert between gold and silver based on the GSR in order to maximise total metal over time
 
Just a suggestion ... but if you numbered the options, it would be easier to reply.

You left out the most common type:
- buy (at whatever price) and go canoeing and lose it all.

According to the evidence on PM boards, it seems most PM buyers are not very smart. They don't let it out of their sight so they take their purchases canoeing with them. Of course that weight makes the canoe unstable . . .
 
I think that falls under the first option "buy and hold and go canoeing". This could easily have been a multiple choice poll as I believe several members here follow more than one of those options.

Your financial style is a different that your aquatic abilities :pffftt:
 
Voted buy and gold as 70% of my pm positions are in this category.
I do trade, too. Mainly hedging and volatility trades here.
