I think bars of silver or gold would be so classy… And a mansion with a big study and overstuffed armchairs and a polar bear rug and a couple Irish wolfhounds. And maybe a hedge labyrinth in the garden. Champagne taste n beer money Don't forget "several leather bound books and your mansion smells of rich mahogany." ref: Ron Burgundy, Anchorman

Law enforcement in ks confiscates 3 million a year from travelers in amounts under $3200. Cost at least $5k to pay a lawyer to get it back.

^^^ usually without filing charges
I have never determined the exact amount beyond which cash is illegal
Could probably steal precious metal under the same law (federal) if drug use is "suspected".

Never been a fan of investing in it or owning it as something I tied my cash up in to hold it, unless it was in jewelry for the Mrs. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

I have always thought it isa good idea to own some silver and gold How much is a decision each person should decide .At the same time I strongly believe the most important precious metal anyone could have is spelled AMMO and has a large number of different markings on it such as 12 16 or 20 ga. You might see it packaged in boxes of 20 25 or 50 each 9mm 22 cal .357 .44mg 40.06 2506 270 7mm are some normal types Some might have hollow point core lock and solid points will work t o retain the gold and silver you wish to keep in your possession And AMMO could be it's own form of currency if both parties agree. One draw back is it is only to be used for just very specific types of activates. And it has a shelf life,fairly short under adverse weather conditions.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I don't think the upcoming election has much to do with prices of precious metals. The world wide economy is the main cause of increasing prices do to inflation. The only cause of inflation is money printing. About every country is operating on debt and fiat currencies that continue to be printed. Gold is real money. Has been for centuries. Silver is a totally different market. Silver can be money but is mostly an industrial metal that is being used up faster than it is being produced. Both are valuable tangible assets for different reasons.

While shorter-term corrections are always to be expected, the macro factors support the view that, despite its awe-inspiring path upward in the past few months, the rally for gold hasn’t finished. While inflation isn’t contained, the Fed is expected to stay the course with planned 2024 rate cuts that will make dollar weakness even worse. This can only mean higher prices for gold against USD.
Reacting to warnings from Bloomerberg about ballooning debt and the powder keg of inflationary pressure, Peter Schiff said:
“We have a much bigger problem than they acknowledge — that’s why the price of gold is at a record high, that’s why it’s going to keep going up.”
With the overstretched and over-indebted American empire increasingly in a state of potentially terminal decline, BRICS countries are stacking hard assets with the hopes of overtaking the West as the next economic superpowers in the coming decades. While they have fiat currencies of their own, none have anything resembling the world reserve currency status enjoyed by the USD. Buying the top even as gold continues upward tells a story of their future visions of US dollar chaos.
Besides, if you expect the dollar to fail, as dominant fiat currencies historically have, then “the top” doesn’t matter — if the bottom for fiat is zero, then there’s no meaningful top for hard assets like gold in fiat terms. And just as you didn’t want to be the last schmo holding seashells when no sane person would give you even the tiniest sliver of gold in exchange, it’s wise of central banks to avoid being the last ones trying to trade worthless paper for gold that, when fiat is functionally dead, will be infinitely more valuable.
Because when you zoom out far enough, the exchange price of fiat currencies always reverts to its true value of zero.

Why do so many hoard toilet paper when they get scared? Never could figure that one out. Maybe they crap more.
