>>Tangible assets, precious metals etc.<<

They haven’t proven to be effective investments. If you anticipate inflation they might be a helpful part of your portfolio.

And having physical metals on hand may or may not be helpful if SHTF.

I am just referencing history of precious metals and the like. If you invested in gold as recently as 2010 you would be just breaking even. After that, you would probably have taken a bath.

The Dow has doubled in that time period.
