The more I read your posts Jim, the more I am impressed... Cant agree more with your two posts above...
I bought silver for the future, so even if it drops to $20 and I bought for $29, I have no worries.. I would have sold it last month if that is what I was in it for..
I also agree that even silver and gold would be worthless in a complete crash... That is why I have a cache of beans, rice, flour, salt, sugar, coffee, etc... Not just for food, but also enough for barter if need be.... AND... quite a cache of lead throwers and lead (more like steel penetrators) also.... Cause there would be a lot of people out there wanting what I have, and having nothing to barter with... I sure as heck dont want to be on the east coast (or southwest coast either) if and when that happens... Thats why I want to be moved back home within the next year or two at most... I have the perfect places from my youth that fit that scenario perfectly... Where I grew up at the base of Mt. St. Helens...
