The best currency would be sugar, salt, medical supplies, booze, drugs, medications, ammo, food, and water. Hell maybe even toliet paper will be worth its weight in gold 🤷🏻♂️ View Quote Yup, salt, sugar, flour, canned goods, freeze dried goods, medical supplies, anything to purify water, or water in general. Batteries, diesel and propane. Butt wipe for sure. |

Nobody will be coming to save you, plan accordingly.

It's not so much that it will be worth more, it's that it'll COST more to buy that same stock for the simple fact that it takes more of the currency to buy that item. I.e.: you could buy a decent sized home with 100 oz of gold @$20/oz 100 years ago. It's still true today. |

Not a lot of folks want silver for their house. |

Not really a practical long term investment IMO. Our economy would pretty much need to go to completely shit and our currency be devalued dramatically for it to work out for you. IE, you're literally betting/hoping for a down-fall in order to profit.
Also the price of gold is high right now. And gold doesn't always ' Go up'. Its fairly volatile. You could easily buy gold and over the next 10 years it be worth 40-50% less then you paid for it. I'd say maybe 10% of your investments into gold would be fine. So for every 90K you have in the stock market. 10K in gold/silver... You also might as well go 10% into Bitcoin as well. So 80K stock market 10K Gold 10K Bitcoin. But again Bitcoin and Gold are both very high right now. I'd wait for their prices to dip/crash before loading up on them. Or something like that. Just buying gold/precious metals and waiting for the economy to melt down isn't a very good plan. You're better off knowing how to garden/can/preserve foods, raise chickens/rabbits, etc. |
