Asking to those that understand the ins and outs of the precious metal markets.
Wanting to drop $5K into precious metals. cheapest silver ounce is $30.61 which tells me I'm loosing $4/ounce because of the spot price. Similiar idea with gold. Help walk me through the idea of purchasing these items even though they are seemingly dropping in value as soon as I buy them.
Also, how would you divide your precious metal portfolio 20/80 gold/silver. 50/50? and is that by dollar amount or by ounce, i was thinking of buying 2oz gold, and 20-25 ounce silver. gold was going to be 1oz bars, while silver 1oz coins.
please help me make sense of this, I know our paper dollar is loosing value and will continue to do so.
EDIT/UPDATE: I pulled the trigger, and I put PedoJoes stimulus money into silver. Bought 140 ounces
My knowledge on this comes from here, here, and here:

Can’t offer too much advice, I’m fairly new myself. Market seems rigged to keep the price down.
I like silver because the denominations are smaller and it’s functional as a raw material in electronics. Silver supply is getting harder to come by.
I don’t know much about gold.
