The smart people are buying brass & lead; ammo is far more valuable than either gold or silver. I’ve been buying since 9-12-2001.

“There are only two ways this can be handled. Overt default (i.e. Thank you for lending us your money or believing our promises to provide you with your golden pension and social security, but we are stiffing you. Have a nice day.) or massive money printing. Given the spineless nature of politicians, my money (literally) is on the latter.”

How soon one forgets the other option, like the one O’bastard used during his 8 yr reign of terror.

Just fake the inflation numbers to zero and hose everybody on SS.

Yeah; sure...

Yup!

The crash WILL come; it merely depends on WHEN

Always good to have a little gold and silver for a hedge against bad times.

I've always wondered: How does this work?

It has no mystical qualities

But I earned my pension. I am owed my pension. It was a solemn promise. Cut out all the wasteful spending and it can be paid. What about all the people who are not working. We are paying illegals. I was promised.

Find a dealer. Check the BBB rating. Order the coins. There are online places to buy them. You can use your credit card or send a check (slower).

Order ships out within a day at the rate you locked in. Delivered by UPS and you sign for it. Store it in fire proof safe or Deposit box. However during emergencies, bank might be closed, so keep some cash and coins at home.

Gold is for keeping, not selling

Many people believe as you do. Oh yes, you WILL get the nominal value of your pension so the .gov’s obligation to you will be met. However, good luck in buying a single loaf of bread with it.

Ha. Caught in a sarcasm trap. Sorry, I left off the /s! I just had to see if anyone took the bait. FWIW I too have missed the missing /s several times recently. Thanks to the libs we have lost irony, sarcasm, parody, and we are well on the way to losing farce.

Platinum, which is much rarer than gold and has industrial uses, is much cheaper than gold. Why aren’t they all buying platinum?

Even weirder is that traditionally platinum has sold at a 5-10% premium to gold. Right now, that's inverted.

Spot prices:
Gold - $1234.80
Platinum - $869.00
Silver - $14.88

Silver has been bottoming out lately.

The silver to gold price ratio has been upwards of 80:1 for a couple of months now. Historically that is very high. I have been nibbling in silver.
