Truth indeed Sir John and if we invested in Old Reliables and wake up to an Apocalypse Now scenario, do we then cut down the barrels on a fine 20 bore AAHE and load with bird shot to repell borders with? I think not. One aspect of the economy that is in a growth mode, in spite Mr. Madoff's Ponzi Scheme Unlimited, is the sale of ammo- especially shotgun buckshot, .308, .223. and both .45ACP, .38 special and .357M loads, plus sales of reloading components have spiked too- I would go with the wisdom of Murphy and his many great laws- in this case, Murphy's Law regarding gold- simply put, Murphy quotes the Golden Rule as: "He who has the most gold, rules"- You want portable wealth in times of disasters pending with a known value- gold, diamonds are best- hard to imagine heading out of Dodge in your Merceedes M-Class with your Cabela's 26 gun capacity safe inside, hoping to barter your "investment grade" doubles into gas, water, food, medical supplies, shelter- the basics- Will this gloom and doom come about- probably not, but forewarned is forearmed.
