All investments, food, clothing, fuel, gold, gems, shelter, currencies are subserviant to a loaded firearm.
For troubled times?
Can’t go wrong whiskey, cigars and hookers.
It’s a depreciating asset as it composts away.
This guy is bat shit crazy
The DNC and the MSM are RICH!
An island covered in bat guano will be lost as an investment when sea level rise from global warming submerges it. Buy carbon credits instead. /s
Pay off personal debt a la Dave Ramsey’s program. The guaranteed rate of return equal to the interest rate on the debt, and you can live on less if money gets tight or not have to struggle to pay down debt during deflationary times.
“An investment that can be gutted by financial rules changing overnight is not safe.”
What’s Best ?

If you’re that confident that things are going all to hell to such an extent that virtually every investment will be worthless or confiscated, then the economy is going to be a total shambles.
I’d suggest “investing” in defensible rural property capable of producing food, surrounded by trustworthy people of a like mind, and pay it off. Make sure it’s in a jurisdiction that is unlikely to turn predatory. Fix your tax burden by paying property tax ahead five or ten years if it’s permitted, locking in the rate. Then, stock up on enough shelf-stable food to carry yourself and your family for a year or two. Then, make certain you can defend said property, “invest” in training yourself to be very handy with defensive weapons. Then, “invest” in a means to provide power sufficient to at least run a well pump, some lights and a few creature comforts to make your house livable when the grid goes down, because if the markets are seized up that badly, things are going to degenerate fairly quickly. Then, “invest” in barter items that will remain in demand. Whiskey, toilet paper, tobacco.
Then, sit back, relax, stop worrying, live your life, love your family, enjoy nature, it hasn’t changed and is as beautiful as ever. You’ve done all you can do and there’s nothing that can be done to prevent this or change the trajectory. It’s coming, just a matter of when. Could be years or even decades, so prepare for people to try to humiliate you for being paranoid.
But, you’ll be as set come what may as you can be. That buys tremendous peace of mind, so long as you don’t go broke trying to accomplish it.
Life Settlement Policies. Ask me if you don’t know about them as an investment vehicle.
Land
Land. They ain’t making any more of it.
Best investment in troubled times? A well-read Bible.
Matt 6:19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Repayment of debt.
Guaranteed return. Tax free.
As far as investing goes ... first you should save money ... 10-20% or more of your paycheck. What you invest the money into is a secondary concern and doesn’t matter as much if you can’t even save the money in the first place.
Buy and hold Rubels.
I’m a small trader, don’t make a lot of money, so I’m no authority to be listened to. I usually by inexpensive stocks. But I broke that rule and decided that garbage is a good bet. Bought a few shares of Waste Management. It’s gone up a few dollars since then so, don’t know that it’s a good idea now.
