They say what needs to be said during the campaign and do what they want after elected, the two don't need to be the same.

hunker down.

buy gold (the masses are figuring it out- dollars are paper and ink and sleight of hand... "pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!").

and, oh yeah- buy ammo... 'cause if you got gold... you're gonna need ammo.

Gold is a shiny yellowish metal that has about as much real value as paper and ink.

POP!

That's the sound of the gold bubble bursting.

You better sell that gold now and buy Mickey Mantle baseball cards.

Or better yet if survival is your goal, a plow a bull and a few cows.

from what little i understand 'bout the whole gold "thang"...

the set value of gold at any particular time is moot. the price fluctuates... but in reality, value remains steady-- but the value of u.s. dollars (or other currency) that it is based on goes up and down.

for example- i have a very small amount of gold that i bought in about 2002 at around $330/oz.

now, it is $1100+ per oz. however, if i cash it in, i can buy about the same amount of goods that i could in 2002, because in 2002, the value of a dollar was worth way more.

basically, when the dollar is doing well, gold goes down... when the dollar tanks, gold goes up... but, intrinsic value stays pretty much the same.

true?

Gold is only worth whatever someone will pay you for it.  Just like a Mickey Mantle baseball card.

It could be worthless tomorrow.
