RE:RE:RE:Why did silver go to 50 in 1980The Russians are quietly playing this hand the best of all the industrial worlds.
Their debt-to-GDP ratio is among the lowest in the G20 AND they have quite a large gold reserve. Even China's debt-to-GDP is getting up there. At its highest in history and rising....
On a personal level, yeah it's one thing to have bars/coins of silver and gold, but they're not friendly for everyday transactions. You can't buy a loaf of break with a 100oz silver bar (Think about the change!). The way to stay ahead of this 'reset' is to play the game, such that it is. Amass as much fiat currency as you can as fast as you can, and buy stuff with it. Land is great. Art, collectibles, cars.... a boat! You can use all this stuff and have fun with it. You CAN be a doomsday prepper and pull off the "I'm a regular guy just like you" routine.
Then again, having phizz gold and silver is a great way to protect your wealth and rebuild if there ever is an economic armageddon. However, if Ragnarok does befall us, rebuilding your portfolio will be the least of your worries.
