Yes, I meant PHYSICAL silver and gold.

One oz of silver is currently about $ 22 and is extremely undervalued. Even if nothing happens, and something will, you're buying something at a quarter of its fair market value. When SHTF, it should be easily twice that, so think in terms of making 8 times your money over the next half a year to half a decade TOPS. You don't get much better than that.

If/when society breaks down, gold and silver and diamonds will become value-less.

You can't eat gold.

Keep repeating it, dude. It seems it's doing you a lot of good. What does it feel like to you?

But whatever, you do you.

I'll explain ONE LAST TIME how the collapse happens: First either the banks fail and all close down at the same time, or the electrical grid goes down PERMANENTLY.

The next day, businesses still open, and operate on a CASH-ONLY basis because, well, no ATMs, no Interac, no banking. This goes on for days to weeks, but cash becomes more and more rare. People start trading silver and gold for goods. You know, shop owners are people too, workers need money too, etc.

This can go on for a good long while. People aren't going to immediately go barter-only. This is as asinine a view as I have ever seen.

DO YOU GET IT YET? People are used to using MONEY and they will keep that going as long as they can. SILVER and GOLD have been money since the dawn of man. How will it stop right away? IT WILL NOT.

Or do you get it and you are a disinformation agent?
