I’ve been considering purchasing precious metals for a while now, any suggestions?
*************************
Small denominations/coins. Bear in mind that as an individual when you buy you are buying at ‘retail’ and selling at ‘wholesale’. Basically 10 - 15% above spot and at best 15 - 20% below spot, respectively. That is a rule of thumb. Diamond always tries to piggy back in such times and they are a dreadful ‘investment’, as diamond prices are largely due to artificial scarcity and limited production.
I am told that such things as ammunition, spices etc. would be better barter goods in a real collapse. I repeat what I have heard, not vouching for it.
Thanks for the help.
One thread I saw, from a real life shtf experience showed that
butane to refill lighters was in high demand. People would risk their lives to get to this guy and trade food for a bic refill.
