You certainly would not want everything in the Dow Jones, when a company goes broke its taken out of the index and you've lost. That's how they paint such a fantastic illusion, but its all just sheeeet. Its not practical from here in Australia to go into the detail and trouble to invest in it anyway.
My silver accumulation was not only in 2002, that's when I was lucky enough to start. I began buying silver rounds in the high period lol, but by accumulating over time its grown to a wonderful nest egg and I can rest easy not worrying about what's happening in that planet America. That Skol fella must come from there I bet.
