I have always thought it isa good idea to own some silver and gold How much is a decision each person should decide .At the same time I strongly believe the most important precious metal anyone could have is spelled AMMO and has a large number of different markings on it such as 12 16 or 20 ga. You might see it packaged in boxes of 20 25 or 50 each 9mm 22 cal .357 .44mg 40.06 2506 270 7mm are some normal types Some might have hollow point core lock and solid points will work t o retain the gold and silver you wish to keep in your possession And AMMO could be it's own form of currency if both parties agree. One draw back is it is only to be used for just very specific types of activates.

Or there could be just enough of the system left you will loose what you can't pay for. I'm not a gambler on what's going to play out so being debt free is a priority. When you are debt Free you have much more money to spend on ammo, water filters, ECT.

It's all about piece of mind. If I got hurt or lost my job I'm ok because I will have no bills other than taxes, utilities, transport and foodstuff. It feels good knowing that especially when you have funds to go over a year with zero income coming in. That gets longer as the debt decrease.

^$27.97 now and it was $22.50 6 weeks ago...probably will hit $28 today.

And gold is $2341 and six weeks ago was just over $2k. A year ago was $1200.... I am lucky to have a good coin shop here where I can get these things for great prices, lower then any online source. I can get junk silver right around melt values except for dollars which have a premium...

I should have purchased more a month ago.... laugh

The thing many don’t think about with precious metals is that it n the event of a German mark hyperinflation type scenario where your dollar hyper inflates to oblivion if you own gold and or silver you have a purchasing power that has proven solid throughout history. With a 34 trillion dollar debt and 200 trillion in unfunded liabilities this is a very possible scenario. We have either been governed by total idiots or those whose intentions have been our destruction all along.

You guys must all be 100 years old and like the way you think. Young people rely 100% on electronic currency. Credit ,debit cards, bitcoin are at the mercy of hackers and government. Buddy was told by IRS he did not pay some taxes and they liquidated all his accounts and his daughters. They have you by the testiest and are guilty till proven innocent. Took IRS over one month for them to decide they where incorrect and gave a refund. Dont know if the could take belonging out of a safety deposit box?

Gold was not at $1200 a year ago. Or anywhere close.

I see you've been reading Karl Marx. And his book "The Communist Manifesto! Good reading that should be required in public school today. To remake a society you must first destroy it seems to be Obama's agenda, and "Big Joe" is the puppet.

One warning about buying gold. Years ago a guy was buying collectors gold at local dealer. He bought a safe from that dealer. An employee of the dealer murdered the poor guy and robbed his gold. These gold shops could be being cased by crooks and following customers back home. Call me paranoid but be super careful and never tell anyone what you have , I mean no one. It’s why I have no interest in the stuff. Just food for thought. If I were to buy I’d pay cash, wear a mask , mud up my license plates and park a ways away for quick getaway and make sure I wasn’t being followed.

Roosevelt made owning gold a crime? What if that happens again?After everyone sold their gold for paper they raised the dollar value of it about 30%. I suggest buy with cash anonymously.

real gold/silver has a nice ring to it. You can also measure and weigh the coins plus see if they are magnetic.

there are some good counterfeits out there.

my coin shop has a machine that tells you what it is..

Maybe I need some meds my wife says I’m paranoid but the poor guy really got murdered. My brother in Idaho knew a fellow pilot who drove all the way to Montana to a gold dealer with $40,000 cash and bought gold when it was $400 an ounce. His reasoning was same as mine and he was flying commercial airliners. We might both be nuts but people have planned and executed murder for a few thousand dollars they knew the victim had. Just saying be careful. By the way what meds would you suggest 🤗
