There is no safe harbor in the coming storm.
All will be hit.
But some less than others. It is a relative thing, not absolute
The best and riskiest investment is family and people. You are going to need them.............................
You are right that the safest investment is people you can trust. All things will take a hit and all things took a hit in 1929 as well, including gold.
However, that things will hit rock bottom and climb up again, you want what will lose the value the least and that is the basic stuff that people use the most or will unquestionably use anyway.
So, I suggest metals, and commodities, and prep stuff for personal use. That’ what I would do if I had the money.
