I FINALLY convinced my parents and bro to start buying physical. WHEW ! I hope every Freeper stashes some with their food and ammo.

My family still has their heads in the sand. I talked about it, telling them it's a good insurance policy, etc. They think the U.S. will always be the same and never change (I guess they don't see the changes happening before their very eyes). My mother especially should know better, since she grew up under Mussolini. She should know how fast a country can change for the worst. She's been comfortable and complacent for too many years, I guess.

Well, I warned 'em and will continue to do so. I'll have met my self-imposed obligation and if/when TSHTF, I won't feel obligated to take them in.

BTW, what kind of silver do you recommend? I wasn't sure, so I hedged bets there as well. Mainly ASEs, because they'll be recognizable and backed by the gov, as long as it is still in place. Some Maples - they are pretty ;) And some generic, because at some point everyone will recognize the major private mints and silver will just be silver and the value will come from that. That's my thinking, anyway. What do you think?
