<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Billincolo, post: 554814, member: 17389&quot;]I am not exactly preparing for the end of days (Andrew289). You seem to be getting some extra exercise here by jumping to conclusions about &quot;&#039;stocking up for the end of the civilized world&#039;-type folks&quot; -- people whom you admit you&#039;ve never met. If you&#039;ve never met any, I&#039;m wondering how you&#039;ve gained the position to make any comments about &quot;them&quot; at all?</p><p><br /></p><p>What are investments for, at their base?: protection of value. Now that the president and congress have spent SO much money, I am expecting inflation to set in. When that happens, my dollar bills will get less valuable, but I expect silver and gold to get more valuable. ...&nbsp; I agree that silver is undervalued. It&#039;s at about 68:1 with gold right now. Many crystal-ball swamis out there seem to think it will go to about 40:1, which would put it at $23+, the target point at which I&#039;d sell the rounds, etc., but keep the 90% junk coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, more than an &quot;end of days&quot; measure, I&#039;m simply looking at &quot;hard times investments,&quot; admittedly with a bit of survival flavor. if nothing like that happens, I&#039;m no worse off; if it does, I&#039;m protected. Just &quot;insurance.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>And as someone above said, a shotgun might be good, too. I&#039;ve had one for years. Now, I&#039;ve gotta skedaddle and go see if the camouflage paint on the Hummer is dry yet ... :rolling:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
