Stack silver / gold. It's a more fungible store of wealth and, in the longterm, becomes a retirement savings. It certainly slakes the thirst to collect something less fruitful.
Not trying to dogg on ya' knives can be cool.
I have said it here before, precious metals are a way to preserve wealth. And yes if nothing happens they are good, well gold has been not so much silver. But if shtf, your gold is worthless to me. Im not gonna buy anymore expensive knives, I have enough. But every now and again a midprice or cheap one comes along I cant resist. Sides I cant afford gold.
You're not wrong. If SHTF, ammunition will basically become currency. Gold/silver is simply the play to hedge if nothing changes in our situation- which is that our currency continues to become worthless. Absolutely correct on all points.
As for the gold/silver expense issue, gotta play the gold to silver ratios. Buy silver when it's cheap and then trade it for gold when it's expensive. Without this move I never would have been able to afford buying the farm that I did. you can make 5-20% on the swings regularly.
Best of luck!
