Wrong.
You sound like glenn Beck pushing gold bullion.
I'll stick with my real estate and dividends.
Let me reassure you, I watch NO NEWS AT ALL. I'm not even sure what Glenn Beck sounds or looks like.
Your RE will plummet in value similar to 2008... probably worse. Your shares will plummet rapidly as well, likely over night.
It's okay if you don't agree. It only means you should do your own research.
And what happened after 2008?a recovery to new highs. Keep money on the side to take advantage of these buying opportunities.
Friend, I don't think this is really getting through to you.
Things will collapse and everyone and their dog will be freaking out, not sure how to manage their money. During that time, you will need to exchange something for some sort of supplies (as is assumed, anyway. surely you don't have anything and everything you could need). This is why you cash out of fiat now and reenter when everything is extremely cheap. However, when it comes to precious metals, they will only really get more and more expensive from here, exponentially so once everything really starts to dip. This is why I'm suggesting getting in to PMs RIGHT NOW.
In addition to this, Bitcoin will halve next year, so no matter what prices will never be as low as they are now (the general area, not the specific price that it is).
The biggest thing you seem to be missing is the comparison of change between fiat and what it will be after the resurgence versus bitcoin/PMs before and after the resurgence. Your monopoly money will crash like mad and slowly crawl back up for a little while. It will eventually get back to where we are now and then slowly begin to take off from there. But, you want to be as wealthy as possible ASAP and you also don't want to lose your money and not be able to get it back for years and years. This is why you take the rate similar to that of what I've described.
Hopefully this helps you a bit more.
