If on the other hand you really do think that the SHTF will occur soon then stay away from the stuff. In that case gold wont be valued in overinflated dollars or Euro’s or yen..but in how much wheat or rice you could find someone to trade it for in a 3rd world economy..
Gold is occasionally under priced, but never overpriced.
Gold is the anchor point with reality.
To put it another way, while the “price” may drift, the buying power of gold is almost a constant.
There will always be a wealthy and powerful element that will look to acquiring whatever gold is available.
Actually, the $’s and €’s are now and always have been measured in gold.
