[QUOTE="brg5658, post: 1576355, member: 29751"]This thread reminds me of a recent cartoon I saw. It was a picture of a person who just lost their home after the earthquake in Haiti receiving a "gift" of a Bible from a relief aid worker. The person looks at the Bible and had a thought bubble over his head that said "[I]Wow, thanks, this looks tasty[/I]". The point being, if you're hoarding silver for the "end times" then you're just plain crazy. The currencies of importance will be food, water, shelter, warmth, etc. I would not trade you food for silver...because it serves no purpose in an "end times" scenario. If you're diversifying your retirement into a shiny metal that you have to physically store, insure, etc. then why not just purchase a fund indexed to silver or other precious metals? The hassle of lugging around a few thousand ounces of silver doesn't really appeal to me. :scratch:[/QUOTE]
