<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CasualAg$, post: 3242327, member: 99311&quot;]The State of California has recommended prepping for reasons<i> losthomer </i>already noted. Not knowing any full blown preppers I won’t call them names. I doubt you would do that to their face. I’m not threatened by the existence of people who take care of themselves and live by the old Boy Scout motto of “Be prepared.” I appreciate their knowledge and skills and wish I had some of those, myself. They may believe they are targeted by an increasingly corrupt government or fear aliens or zombies or whatever. I don’t know everyone’s motivation. What I do know is that politics and religion, activities of “rational people”, are responsible for more deaths, pain, and poverty every day than preppers. Those are the truly sick fantasies else why would they be banned on this board?</p><p><br /></p><p>PMs have a place in any investment strategy. As long as inflation or competing economic systems exist (internal or external) there is danger to our assets. PMs are one solution to that threat. Bullion buying is, as you mentioned earlier, not a profitable investment activity. But, as the major Central Banks will admit, gold is the next best thing to fiat currency, else why would they buy so much of it each year? It’s insurance that doesn’t require premiums, won’t expire, and can be passed on to the next generation if one wishes to do that. I consider it an expense...but one that I enjoy for the intrinsic qualities of PMs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
