Where are you going to "bug out" to? Folks I know see SHTF days as hunker down, dig in, fortify. Have what you need, just like the fallout shelters of the 60's, updated of course. As for silver, word will spread very fast. People in the Appalachians (some would call them hillbillies, rednecks...

It wasn't very long ago (maybe a year) that my favorite national chain Sandwich shop regularly had my favorite 12" for $5.00 U$, $6 regular, but lots of specials, easy to eat one twice a week at $5. Now - same shop, same sandwich, $5 for a SIX inch, $7.00 for the 12". Many other examples, with...

I have friends who only buy ASE, maybe have some 90% junk they would not sell. Here is what they would tell you: 'If (when) SHTF, American Silver Eagles will be universally recognized and accepted for goods. Some shiny thing with an image of a rattle snake, or buffalo, who knows. Be safe, buy...

ASEs are for those who buy strongly into SHTF - to use as money, and if they live in the States. I have friends who buy nothing else, and are certain SHTF is imminent. I also have friends who question the sanity of anyone stacking silver. SML are also well liked by some Gringo stackers for the...

2013 was an anniversary year for SML(25th) , special issue, -one year only - design. Based on this alone shouldn't we expect increased sales? ASEs still outsold SML by 150%, in record numbers.

Among collectables many have multiple interest areas. A piece of collectable pottery, that only interests pottery collectors, is worth $ 'X'. Take that same piece of pottery, same manufacturer, same designer, same kiln, same glaze, same marketing, but make it in the shape of a bird, and now...

It seem to me that if you are using money to buy silver, when that money could be used to make a loan payment (car, house, whatever), you are staying in debt to buy more silver. It may seem more reasonable, but truthfully, it seems to me to be the same as borrowing to buy silver. I used a lump...

No matter where you live, or where you look, all the same. I also see a lot of ostriches.

Silver is a byproduct of other mining, so it is cheap. Silver is cheap, so it is a byproduct of mining, and not a primary product of mining. If gold were cheap (say, $600 an oz), would it be mined as primary, or as a byproduct? The cost of mining silver is low, because the price of sliver is...

You seem to miss the obvious. Silver and gold are competing commodities. They make nice jewelry. They make nice currency. The industrial uses do differ, but are comparable, if cost is disregarded. Silver is only a winner because it is relatively cheap. There is the issue of the supply of usable...

It seems to me that piece would be very easy to counterfeit. Am I missing something, or are collectors able to notice nuances most of us might miss, or none of the above? This is another example of the unusual mindset of collectors. What I have found is that often an outsider can see no reason...

Well, just too many SBSS designs to find them all desirable, I agree. I can see someone wanting to get one of each, but not myself. You certainly have a handle on a lot of this stuff, but you don't seem to have a clue about the collector market. At this moment in time, zombies are trending hot...

" "Propaganda is neutrally defined as a systematic form of purposeful persuasion that attempts to influence the emotions, attitudes, opinions, and actions of specified target audiences for ideological, political or commercial purposes through the controlled transmission of one-sided messages...

Yes, but how do we all buy the PM? Why, with money - and that money is not gold and silver, rather fiat. A catch 22. Gold and silver are not able to buy things. They are bought and sold, but cannot buy.

For those like me who like ammo cans - especially 50 cal - I found great camouflage. They fit perfectly in a Craftsman (sears) 13" tool bag - currently on sale for $5 - item #37535. The regular price is $10 for these polyester bags, and that is a good price. I have been using one for a drill...

Yes, all of these things are true. Here is what I would say. If I could squirrel away enough over three months, and I could buy a hundred acres - 40 hectors - or put that money in silver, if I like the land, I believe that is my choice. Buy land for a few years, acquire a couple thousand acres...

I can buy a hunk of the shiny stuff with money I saved from eating at home instead of at the movie theater, farmland, not so easy. You use the historical silver charts to point out that silver has been $5, so will be $5. GSR historical charts, for a longer period, show the ratio at about 16:1...

Correction to the above. I was on the wrong axis of my chart. The $11.45 is in 2012 dollars, adjusted for inflation. My apologies.
