I've always wondered though: if gold or silver is going to be so valuable then--why are they trying to SELL it now?
When there is no internet and credit cards, debit cards, check cashing will not work the only way to pay for necessities will be cash or precious metals. It is a good idea to have both tucked safely away. If the “financial crisis” never happens the precious metals can always be sold.
