Preppers’ PING!!
Hey, leave Kartographer alone! His warnings regularly seen here on Free Republic and all the information and help that accompany his pings, probably have saved lives during disasters for readers of his posts and will save them if our country takes a steep dive.
Let’s add to the store of wisdom and let each take what merit they will.And I don’t care a tinker’s you know what, if he profits in any way large or small. Long live the free market of ideas.
Thanks for the ping. As a former financial planner, I have always considered an investment of up to 10% in precious metals part of a well balanced portfolio.
My preference is American Silver Eagles for the long term portfolio/hedge against inflation. More than that may be useful, if SHTF. (rising real estate and property taxes if SHTF comes to mind). Junk silver could also be useful if SHTF.
Of course, that’s assuming that you have your other emergency supplies in good order and have the ability to replace those supplies(ie self-sufficiency), if the emergency situation outlasts those supplies. JMHO
