precious metals
Precious metals are only a hedge against inflation. They have their place, but not as a primary position. You cannot invest in Precious Metals. If you buy and ounce of gold, in a year it will still be an ounce of gold. The only thing that changes is the value of the dollar. If you invest in physical assets that produce income, in a year you still have the asset, but you also have the income. Rental property is a good example.
you're completely missing the point and good luck to you :)
If your point is that all fiat currency will collapse and precious metals will be the only form of currency, then bullets and batteries are a better investment as it would be a total societal collapse. If society doesn't collapse, but the dollar experiences hyperinflation then having PM is a good hedge as an ounce of gold will always be an ounce of gold compared to a devaluing dollar. However, it does not create wealth like other income creating investments.
