In reference to the philosophical discussion about failed states, anarchy, and the need to have gold, I crudely remarked that in that case I'd rather have brass - as in ammo. And as someone emailed last night, several means of conveyance. (-:
Forgive a retired Marine his jokes...
Cheers.

Ken, I don't get it.
I've never heard anyone mention brass before. Care
to share your expertise?ThanksWill

Thanks. I have a small collection. As a former
Marine, with brass I can get gold...lol.
Thanks for catching the
reference.

Kenneth,
I hope I am not the only one who got your reference
about brass.
I have been collecting "processed" brass for
quite a while. I am
also investing in its method of conveyance.

I think you both bring up a great point:
don't put all
your eggs in one basket. Personally I
wouldn't buy
tangible gold (not securities) as a hedge
against a failed
state, but, rather, as a hedge against
inflation. It never
hurts to invest in appreciable commodities,
but art,
property, etc. have those same benefits. I
good asset mix
is key.
FWIW, the 1980-2007 0% growth is arbitrary.
How about
1970-1980 with 845% ROI? The historical chart
shows gold
generally depreciates during a recession and
experiences a
precipitous growth in value during recovery,
only to come
back down (which is where we are right now).
Using my
eyeballs, unless we're IN a recession,
decide to stock up
on gold, and then SELL on the subsequent
post-recession
run-up securing capital gains (0% tax, no?),
then holding
for the apocalypse is not a good bet. But
buying when it's
low and selling when it's high is a no
brainer. If it hits
$700, I'd buy some for sure but I
wouldn't empty my nest
egg to do it.
Just my $.02.
