False. Bullets and gold are the only safe haven... So when everything goes to heck and everyone will be locked in their houses holding their gold coins and people are shooting people on the streets more people will be wishing they bought bullets instead. I won't be buying any gold. I am only buying bullets, food, water and seeds. Like you stated though this is pretty interesting.

You're right on a few points here.

For me the most valuable things will be seeds, alcohol, ammo, medicines tobacco, coffee, water etc. Gold and silver will be the ONLY currency to purchase with but the rest is for bartering. And that makes them more valuable on so many levels.

I wouldn't touch gold for all the advice on Earth. This is only working to make my feelings stronger on the point. China says buy, yet they don't buy themselves. China and Russia both have reserves left to mine that can simply destroy the gold market almost overnight if they just cut loose with what they have and dump it outright. Of course, they won't HAVE the holdings that such a move would destroy...but when such a large % are clinging to gold like a life raft, destroy it would.

What better way to just lay the whole world flat in a fit of opportunistic excess and walk in to buy whatever they'd like to own in the aftermath? Monuments...Buildings...NATIONS...whatever China or Russia may take fancy to. All they need to do is keep encouraging this madness to hoard gold..and then flood the market at the right moment.

Those who argue for Copper, Lead and Brass as the metals to hoard are onto something. You can't eat gold..you can't shoot gold..and unless everyone wants to take a crash course on assay of gold, you won't even be able to trade the stuff after TSHTF once people realize Tungsten Steel weighs EXACTLY the same...and that is only one method to spoof a sloppy or amateur gold system.

Don't mind me though..the experts all say buy buy...so, by all means... buy!

Yup, you nailed it!

I have quite a few threads on such things as seeds, water, tools, medicines etc. THAT'S the REAL gold IMO.

Having said that tho, nothing wrong with having a few gold and silver sheckles jingling in the pocket as well...just in case.

Peace

I don't mind if everyone buys gold. That means there's more food and stuff for me!

PS. If the government wants more "currency" like gold and silver they will take it away from you like they plan on doing with our guns and food.

The CIA, FBI, TSA have already been going into places like efoods direct who sells emergency foods and asking for a print out of all the people who are stocking up on foods...(efoods is a sponsor of Alex Jones and they called him and told him about the government wanting the names. It was on his radio show0 Why do you think this is something they would want to know. This country is going down the pipes and it's happening right in front of our faces. It's dang near scary.

That is a serious red flag from the Red Chinese i am listening, i hope others are also. Buy Silver, Buy Food, Buy Ammo. Remember never start a fight, but always finish it.

There was another incident with FEMA buying up all the MRE's and dry goods from Mountain House Foods I believe.

Put the company back a few Months and they couldn't fill orders from us Po' Folks.

I am wondering when Gordon Brown (former Chancellor of the Exchequer, GB, prior to being PM) will echo those sentiments. That will be when you want to sell!! (For those that dont know Brown sold half of GBs gold into the mid 250s low in 1999...making that important bottom). Central Bankers will undoubtedly make the top as well.
