I take whatever a person who sells gold and silver for profit with a very large grain of salt.
This is precisely the reason why conservatives should be prepared and armed.
The edge of America is close. Society is about to see a Rome-esque breakdown, and there will be three camps. The hordes of former welfare queens looting anything they can find, the far left Marxian wing in all its ugliness, and us.
Bill Ayers stated it would be necessary to ‘liquidate’ the opposition in camps if they refused to be re-educated. Is that where you want to be? Or would you rather see Ayers and company face public trial and whatever comes next in a new America devoted to restoring the Constitution and the values that made this country great.
Platinum seems to be absolutely leashed to the price of gold, rhodium has enough industrial users to override any investor spikes.
I agree that the metals market is important to the prepper. I'd look towards a major investment in lead, with minor positions in brass and copper jackets. Ammo can protect what you have, barter for what you don't, and won't feel as bad as handing over an ounce of gold for a loaf of bread.
Never ask a guy who sells tires if you need tires.

We don’t know when the economic SHTF will happen, we don’t even have a idea of how it will play out. We just know it will be very ugly and we average Joe Americans that are still working and paying taxes right now are probably going to suffer the most.
How’s that for a Greek tragedy?
Listened to it, difficult. Verses dont rhyme, back round music was cacophonous. Nothing made sense. What are you trying to say?
If the US will die, it will be slow, and you will know when the rich will rebel to hide their wealth. Look at Nicaragua when the Sandanistas took over.

That would be wise.
It would be equally foolish to dismiss the truth of what he says just because he may be able to profit from what he has been studying and preparing for and preaching about for years.
The dollar is a dead man walking.
Read The Creature from Jekyll Island, if you haven’t. This is what central banks do.
And I suspect the puppet masters will allow one more leftist DemocRat to win the White House (likely Mrs. Bill “Impeached” Clinton) and then a Republican so that it crashes with a Republican, so the socialists can blame capitalism and the free market for the destruction they are deliberately causing.
Years ago, some guy was trying to sell me some gold. I told him when the SHTF, lead would be more valuable than gold.
Yep. Furthermore, I take everything posted on Zero Hedge with a grain of salt. I like the site, and the comments there rival FR for sarcasm and humor. But Zero Hedge is always - and I mean always - predicting the collapse of something or other.
In many respects that is already starting when you consider how the banking systems and economies are stacking up worldwide. There's much shuffling around as nation leaders are growing more and more ‘restless’ with the US Dollar maintaining the power and leverage it does....especially regarding sanctions that the US continues to hold sway over nations, either by imposing them or strong-arming other nations to agree and support them when they do.
Trial? If it all really comes apart, there aren’t going to be any trials.
Lord, what do we do?
we’re still working and paying taxes....
I don't think one should ever be so cavalier about gold as to equate it to a loaf of bread. An ounce of gold has always been equivalent to a month's manual labor, or the finest suit of clothes the market has to offer. And it always will be that. Its scarcity, reliability and desirability are gold's traditional secret to being the most compact store of liquidity and value known to man.
Yes, gold has its fanatics who make absurd claims, and yes, gold has its detractors who studiously refuse to understand its time-honored traditions. Neither are particularly correct; but to ignore gold is to be left out in the cold at crunch time.
