I suppose you have a point...to a point. I mean, why waste the money on one ounce of gold at a $1600 charge when that same $1600 will by you a pallet of freeze dried food for four people to survive for a year on???????

Can you claim one ounce of gold will be worth anywhere near that amount even a few years after a cataclysm? So for every ounce of gold, you give up a years worth of food in the hopes that one day it'll maybe be worth what you paid for it lol??

Add to that...gold can be panned out of almost any creek bed anywhere so why pay for it by spending a years worth of food for your family on a single ounce??

Doesnt it make far more sense to spend the $1600 on a pallet of food and then trade that for the gold AFTER tshtf? Think....if I were hungry and I had a gold rolex to trade...I would trade it for a few cans of soup...or die. Then, youve got an ounce or better of gold for a few bucks then rather than a buncha bucks now.

No...gold nor silver will be worth anything of any real value for generations providing theres an Earthwide cataclysm...and for sure it will never reach the inflated price it is now.

Common sense goes a long way.
