Mine is - 1. In around 5 years time Western economies collapse. 2. House prices collapse to less then half or quarter due to lots of people losing their homes. 3. Silver price skyrockets to $200+ and beyond. 4. Sell my stack and buy a house, or maybe two. I hope I am not being too unrealistic!
Mine is never needing to rely on my stack. Keep working, buying silver, having a good time, and hung for rape at ninety.
I would certainly rather the whole system does NOT collapse. I don't think that is a great outcome since we still have to live in this society. Ideal scenario is silver/gold rises high again, I sell for a profit. It goes lower again, I buy up what I can afford. It goes up again, I sell it off again etc....
We don't need systematic collapse for silver to hit $200. or even $500. Silver went from $2/oz to $50 and the world didn't come to an end. By all reports, 90% of silver has been used up, not recoverable at these prices. I read once that to recover from phones is ~ $400 an ounce, perhaps the cost of silver will trend towards that number, it seems to me a sensible way to price the stuff - cost of recycled silver. The shanghai exchange is being depleted of silver rapidy, down 90% from its peak a year ago, at this rate will run out in a few months, where do they go to for siver then? I find that hard to believe, but thats the story.. China keeps upping their solar electricity targets. Also mining only accounts for 90%-ish of silver demand. it has to come to a tipping point at some stage, where the price finds a new level to weed out the spurious demand. I want enough by then that I can stop working, sell a few oz every month and have a lazy life.
After every economic collapse things always got better and bounced back, eventually. I want there to be a big economic collapse in about 5 years so I can profit big time off other peoples loss. I know, it's mean isn't it!
Ideal scenario: radical abundance, humanity spreads into space, and we have freedom without undue influence of the state or other powerful interests. And anyone who tries to re-empower politicians gets mind-wiped with extreme prejudice.
You asked for an ideal scenario! Just because you take out life insurance, you don't wish to die. A stack gives you security, serenity, solace, and storage costs.
Believe it or not but it is the Law that keeps us safe.. without some kind of power we would all kill each other lol
Ok, fair enough, good point! I thought maybe you were also stacking like me to look for big future profits.
Yep just stack lots of cash and bullion so you can take advantage of opportunities that pop up in the next big crash whenever it happens. And keep some bullion just in case the next one is the big one and there is no recovery like everytime in the last hundred years, eg derivitive market crash brings down the whole system.
