Spam is better. You can eat it. If you were on a desert island would you rather have Spam or Gold?

I don't have to make a choice, I have both. I bought Krugerrands in 1993 at $382.00-$402.00 each.

I hope you never find yourself stranded on a desert island with only spam to eat. The salt content would kill you in short order.

Fair well, and stay safe

"Spam is better."

I really don't understand why so many around here treat holding gold as akin to being a flat-earther.

In early '02 Mrs Ghost bought around $200K in gold coins at $300 per oz.

We don't plan to divest it, simply hold it. It has nearly tripled in value (actually more, as most is in collector coins), stock market would have busted our chops.

That, along with some real estate, makes us reasonably confident in staving the wolves.

A warehouse full of Spam would not be nearly as comforting. A guy can't eat much more than one meal of that crap a year, anyway.
