Investing in them now is a little late with the weakened dollar. If you would have bought them up during the Clinton administration, probably. (lol) I knew a guy who used to buy gold bars as an investment back in the early 90s. Complained that he never really made money on them, but thought having them was a lot more fun than earning 3% in a savings account. If he hung on to them, the return would now probably beat what the stock market would have done for him with its rise and fall and rise.
If you think the US economy is going to get worse, then buy now. But the US dollar is so weak, there are far better things to put your money in than gold and silver. They're stable, and only rise with catastrophe. I think. (lol)

As opposed to not owning any, I'd say yes.
