Having some gold and silver is a good idea.

However, you need to remember that just because people on these forums are preparing for the end of the world doesn't mean it is coming.

I was discussing this with my Grandpa a few days ago and he basically said that people these days are idiots, just like the young of every generation. Anytime bad economic times hit, they immediately think its the end of the world.

H is greek and lived through the depression, saw his money turn to toilet paper, lived through germans killing people in the streets during WW2, lived through the economic collapse of WW2 that was in Europe and he has lived through everything since.

He doesn't have fingers or toes enough to count how many "ITS THE END OF THE WORLD!" situations he has seen in his lifetime.




Basically, a hedge against the collapse of the dollar is always a good idea, thats just common sense.

Just don't fool yourself into thinking that an economic collapse means you will wake up one day and the world will have gone from great to no water/electricity/food as some here want to suggest.
