Its funny how some of these people are dogging on people who invest into metals instead of food rations and so on. Yeah, prolly not the smartest idea to brag about it to everyone cause now everyone knows where to go when all the food runs out! That'll be fun lol

There is one thing more precious than any metal or oil. Clean drinking water. Find an artesian spring and bottle it.

You can't do anything with gold. Can't eat it. Certainly can't eat any metal or oil. As the earth's population swells in the next 25 years, clean drinking water will become the most precious commodity on the planet. Try living without it!

Oh! by the way! I have mined gold for almost 45 years. Gotten wealthy off it! But every gold mining operation I've ever seen, pollutes water. Mine included!!

Timing is everything when investing in commodities. Give me the security of free and clear income producing real estate any time. If I cannot do it by myself, I look for a good partnership or REIT that does.

I still am staying with what is worth more than any precious metal, agricultural land any land you can farm on. You can't eat metals but you can eat corn much more precious to me. Now if you want to make big bucks go right a head buy the metal but in the end its just paper the dollar.

Buying gold or any other precious metal usually involves some very hefty commissions. One meets these same commissions on the way 'out,' when the metal is being sold. Unless there's been an appreciable increase in par value between buying and selling one could lose one's shirt.

Anyone know how to minimize these commissions? Please let us know.

Its a shame to think our monetary system is a total farce, but its a fact. In the next couple of years we will witness a collapse of the American dollar which will eclipse the great depression our grandfathers survived . Our thieving leaders will rush to their print shops and simply print more greenbacks, this so called "band aid" will surely come back and bite us all in the ****! When this happens ,nothing will be sweeter than a big sack of coins!

I bought a little gold in the early 80's when it was still reasonable. Now I've invested in survival food and equipment. Freeze dried with a 25 year shelf life, mre's, water storage, generators, ect. If the economy collapses the supermarket shelves will be empty in a few weeks. Y'all can eat your precious metal while my family and neighbors eat a tasty meal. If nothing happens, we'll still be eating a tasty meal.

I would suggest anybody living in a big city when the economy collapses to invest in a "soon to be precious metal".... copper jacketed lead. Can't y'all just imagine those gangs running around taking everything you have ? Us ignorant old hillbillies don't worry too much about that scenario. We have this weird code we live by most city folks would find very strange. We take care of each other.

My guess is there's more gold in Sweet Dick Willy's teeth than there is in Fort Knox.

These "metals" that you seek are prevalent within the mountains of Afganistan, thus the reason your sons and daughters are dying there.

Stocks reached their highs one hour into the session and drifted near those levels into the afternoon. However, equities were rattled by a Financial Times story suggesting Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is likely to discuss tapering at his Wednesday press conference.

Although the story reiterated the need for improved economic conditions, and did not contain any new revelations, the mere ... More
