I take whatever a person who sells gold and silver for profit with a very large grain of salt.

I do to a point. I think the metals market is very important to anyone who is preparing for the worst. However, as I said during 2010; the natural price of silver is in the $20-22 range, to the point that during the $48 an ounce spike, commercial suppliers were distributing sheet silver using a $22 an ounce base price. Gold had some similar leashes that pulled it back down out of the sky.

Platinum seems to be absolutely leashed to the price of gold, rhodium has enough industrial users to override any investor spikes.

I agree that the metals market is important to the prepper. I'd look towards a major investment in lead, with minor positions in brass and copper jackets. Ammo can protect what you have, barter for what you don't, and won't feel as bad as handing over an ounce of gold for a loaf of bread.

That would be wise.

It would be equally foolish to dismiss the truth of what he says just because he may be able to profit from what he has been studying and preparing for and preaching about for years.

The dollar is a dead man walking.

Read The Creature from Jekyll Island, if you haven’t. This is what central banks do.

And I suspect the puppet masters will allow one more leftist DemocRat to win the White House (likely Mrs. Bill “Impeached” Clinton) and then a Republican so that it crashes with a Republican, so the socialists can blame capitalism and the free market for the destruction they are deliberately causing.

Yep. Furthermore, I take everything posted on Zero Hedge with a grain of salt. I like the site, and the comments there rival FR for sarcasm and humor. But Zero Hedge is always - and I mean always - predicting the collapse of something or other.

shoot the messenger then, and ignore the message

What parts of the message do you disagree with and what is your alternate? Life goes on as normal?
