LoB, I share your concerns; as I tell my wife, my concerns during the upcoming ‘fun’ times are (1) physical security for my family and (2) not getting our savings confiscated.
I’m not being alarmist; during the Depression, Roosevelt outlawed the individual holding of gold, and gave, de facto, folks who turned in their gold a 42% haircut.
Make sure you shout out when you see the Feds coming knocking on doors and the South Africans and Brazilians nationalizing gold mines. I want to earn speculative returns while I can, but realize that I’ll need to move my money to something safe if things get really bad.
