Which hard assets? I am a super senior and know nothing about owning rental real-estate, land, precious metals etc. I will probably buy the wrong stuff and most hard assets are not easy to sell. I will take my chances playing ups and downs in stocks.
I don’t get nuts with it, but I do purchase fractional gold and silver. Not for investment sake, but as hard currency in the event the dollar collapses in value.
Growing number of states are passing laws making gold and silver currency once again. Texas has just created a precious metal depository as well.
I think some of these more conservative states are seeing the writing on the wall and getting out ahead of financial crisis.
Silver (Eagles) shouldn’t be that hard to buy just need to find a credible dealer.
