That’s why the best strategy is to keep 10% in precious metals (not 100% or 0%)

One question, If paper money becomes useless would not Gold or silver retain trading value if society still exists? I personally would want a little gold and silver because money is on a quick road to uselessness.

Oh yea Lead, Food, seeds, and Spices will also be more valuable than paper money.

Really? When in the last 5000 years of history has gold not been used to buy things with?

Zimbabwe has completely collapsed it's economy, and guess what you use to buy bread with?
