Silver coin was first used in like 500 BC. I don&#039;t expect we will revert back to cave man existence! I don&#039;t even expect my premise to be honest with you. I just think it is an interesting topic. I am not a kook. </font></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><font face="Verdana"><br /></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><font face="Verdana">I&#039;m relatively young. I have a young family with a two year old that I want to ensure I can see healthy and happy through the hard times I do believe are ahead, whatever the extent of that harshness may be. </font></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><font face="Verdana"><br /></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><font face="Verdana">I&#039;ve only just developed an interest in politics and economics in the last year or so, so I have no historical background to weigh the things I hear against. I read the bullion boards and repeatedly hear stackers brag about their stacks of PM, Guns, and Food storage. They feel prepared for anything. In contrast my off line social circle gets off work, cashes their check and spends it. They&#039;ve no interest in economic news, other than to complain that gas is too high. I&#039;m left wondering if those with gun and food storage lockers are the same as the y2k alarmists that hid in their bunkers as the clock struck midnight or if they are wise conservatives preparing for the new life to come. </font></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><font face="Verdana"><br /></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><font face="Verdana">I&#039;m diversified now. If my PM does nor perform, I figure my mutual fund will, and that my paycheck will remain valuable. I consider myself to be lower-middle class right now as I wait for my wife to finish grad school, so spreading my wealth can also be a weakness. If it plays out that those holding PM end up being the ones with security, I will likely not have enough to make much of a difference. If PM bubble pops before I see it, my other investments will not likely perform well enough to recoup the losses. </font></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><font face="Verdana"><br /></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><font face="Verdana">Feels like a lose/lose. With a 2 year old little girl that has the potential to amaze I&#039;m determined to find a way to win!</font></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><font face="Verdana"><br /></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><font face="Verdana">Have I effectively hijacked my own thread at this point? </font></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
