Gold and silver are a terrible way to preserve wealth. If you look at historic numbers over the long term you’d be better off investing money in almost any other investment vehicle.

We will see about that in the next economic downturn. The real one.

My mom and dad would often talk of the ration stamps in WW2. You would get your ration stamps monthly from a ration board. Sugar, coffee, rubber(tires etc.) gas, shoes were some of the most sought after. Of course with that came the black market. I know many stories of hoarding. And then there was the Victory Gardens.

Granted that was all a War effort for fighting over there. If the War was here it would be a huge game changer. And whats going to become of the masses in the cities (head for the country ? )

You can take $9,999.00 of face value gold coins in or out of the country without having to declare it.

If you don't hold it you don't own it. If we had an economic melt down you would find out real fast that all the paper metal's do not exist.

It says right in the fine print you can never take possession. Why do you think that is ?

My next question. If you invest in physical gold and silver how do you make any money when you buy at retail and when you redeem you sell at wholesale?

What kind of physical gold and silver do you buy? Coins or bullion?

You buy as close to spot as you can get it. Buy the dips.

I try to avoid the 40 percent unless it's a smokin deal and even then I try to flip it right away. .999 Silver takes up enough room as it is 40 percent silver takes up 2.5 times the room.

Gold is the ultimate end goal IMHO. If and when it goes back to 40 or so to 1 ratio it's time for the silver to go.
