Sure, there's probably one kind of "emergency" that could happen where a store of precious metals might come in handy, but I think there's only one, and even it is unlikely. In the event of some kind of actual emergency I think a store of precious metals is likely to become about as useful as box of rocks. For that matter so will cash.</p><p><br /></p><p>If people wish to "prepare" there's a sizable list of things that your going to need - and precious metals aint one of 'em ! And if you think you'll be able to trade precious metals for the things ya do need - I think I'd be thinking again, real hard. Because if you don't want 'em - nobody else is gonna want 'em either.
