<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kangayou, post: 839633, member: 23111&quot;]<b>Thanks for starting this thread</b></p><p><br /></p><p>I have been thinking about how to best prepare for an international or global financial melt down, from which there are not enough solvent 1st world nations to promote and bolster economic recoveries in their immediate vicinity.</p><p><br /></p><p>If economic recovery were to take place in this scenario, it would be a very slow process &amp; the vast majority of people would value tangible goods such as:</p><p>&nbsp;drinking water , salt , sugar , Mormon provided whole wheat , canned proteins , canned vegetables , vitamin &amp; mineral supplements , medical supplies &amp; pharmaceuticals.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have taken steps to stock pile tangible goods then you will probably realize that you need to store them in a secured location that is defensible from the mob mentality. So this would mean that you must own land and the tools required to defend that land such as:</p><p>solar power , wind power , diesel generator or 2 ( 2 double D9 engines would do as backups ) , firearms , lead , copper/brass , powder.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have been thinking that a &quot;devastating blow&quot; to the global financial situation is not going to be as a result of greed alone , but will be as a result of a combination of factors all converging in a short period of time.</p><p><br /></p><p>We are already feeling the effects of greed and changes to our natural environment. All it would take is for tectonic plate movement to increase a little &quot;globally&quot; , so that the nations that normally lend aid to other countries would be in no position to do so.</p><p><br /></p><p>As bad as this scenario may sound , it is not the end of the world.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since I became interested in coins this year , my collecting has been shaped by the preceding scenario and I have been limiting my collecting to:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) &quot;aesthetically pleasing&quot; coins both with or without precious metal value ( these will be the last to go if I have a say ).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>2) big shiny bullion proofs that are worth their weight in silver &amp; eye candy for the greedy ( these will be the 1st to go if I have a say )</p><p><br /></p><p>3) I have yet to collect a single numismatically valuable coin. When I do they will be the 2nd to go if I have a say.</p><p><br /></p><p>p.s. Where have all the bees gone ? :vanish:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
