I think the “ammo bugs” have the more realistic outlook. If this economy collapses we’ll be trading in bullets, beans, and bandaids, not gold.

Sure, buy plenty of ammo (and food) first.

But if you have to flee for a safe haven, how much wealth can you carry on you in ammunition?

Gold is literally “flight capital.”

LOL, "Ammo bugs": Coined term of the day!

I happen to agree, but am playing it safe by having pre-1965 silver coins too.

Coincidentally, I just sold off all my gold. I think we're at a peak, and I expect a correction soon, probably down below $900 (at which point I'm going to buy up a bunch again).


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

“we’ll be trading in bullets, beans, and bandaids”

That was the investment advice I got. Food, medicine, ammo.

And I’ll add toilet paper, people will trade six cans of beans for a roll of TP.
