ECON In The End The Dollar Goes To Zero & The US Defaults

The problem with gold is that it concentrates too much value into too small a volume. Of course that is also gold's major advantage...

And you silver eagle lovers might well discover a similar problem with those, if things go as bad as I suspect they will. Dimes are your friend ...

The most valuable commodities will be breeding age animals like cattle, sheep, hogs, etc...

One could not carry enough bucket loads of silver dimes for the purchase of just one. If they are for sale at all, and gold is legal to own, they'll go for gold, or things more valuable, like feed, medicines, tools, etc...

So, get 'em now....

Again the strawman argument that if you have X you cannot have Y. PMs are to meet unforeseen needs in the future. They are not a be all and end all. Save to the monomaniacal.

Like everything else, that depends on price. I have seen historical references to ransoms of 'a person's weight in silver.'

Not in America, now. Their master would be quickly dead.

Granny Sez-

Better have everything you need for your immediate survival BEFORE you decide to invest in PRECIOUS METALS lest you be forcesd to pay an ounce of gold for a gallon of water.

I got gopher traps . . .
I'll be sitting pretty, making money, selling gopher burgers.
Gonna be rich.

I bought 10 of the biggest old fashioned RAT TRAPS frim HOME DEPOT (which will catch many of the small animals, rabbits etc). You have secure the trap so the animal does not drag it away.

I have a .22ga air rifle to dispatch varmits
