A very important Gold & Silver question/survey. Lets hear what YOU think ! ! !

[slobomotion]

My spouse ridicules me for stacking and does well in conventional markets. At least I persuaded him to prep some, two years ago. Savings accounts often pay around 5% over here in France and conventional stuff carries on. In defense of my spouse, I ridiculed him in 2010 for catching him stashing lots of cash around the apartment. In retrospect, I think he was right. I don't want any economies to collapse but I would like more accountability and enforcement if that makes sense?

[noudo25]

Sure...it also would be nice if I could live in a world where every trout i catch is 22 inches long and unicorns fly dropping bags of gold to the ground. Yet...I live in reality where the almighty dollar is going into its death throws...so there is no other choice but to stack. The question of "would you rather..." will of course be answered with a rousing YES...I would rather everything remained calm and in a state of perpetual growth. It's just not the case.

[hot1fromnc]

I asked a similar question last week, 1.75 gas or 100.00 silver, id rather the cheap gas bc gas determines alot of prices

[trickrider8]

If there would be a healthy economy I would expect silverprises to increas evan more. So I would stack as much as I can. And there has to be a free silver market as well coming along with a healthy economy and silver should trade at prices close to gold. For me silver is not just to preserve wealth in a sick economy it´s also an investment in an multible used industrial metall. Gold for me is a complet different story.

here's the caveat. In order for things 2 get better we would have to get manufacturing back in the US. We can no longer live on borrowed fiat. If that happens then Silver will go to the moon. It's a limited resource industrial metal. If we collaspe and reset then it will be worth it to have at that time. You'll be able 2 exchange it for the NWO $. Otherwise we Vote for Ron Paul and get back to the 2 metal monetary system. Again Silver will be your friend, your very BEST friend. win win

[barnone11967]

@cmobley69 Excellent analogy. Great job :).

[Mongodelight]

wtf thats a no brainer. i would throw my siver in the garbage disposal if i could get an economy like the last 10 years in exchange.

[barnone11967]

@Mongodelight I could not agree more :)

[33commonsenseguy]

Yes ... I would rather have a healthy economy and stable currency and peace rather than higher silver prices ...

[barnone11967]

@33commonsenseguy Thus your user name of COMMEN SENSE GUY ;)... :)

[ryanreardon16]

I had some typos but thats because im on my phone

[barnone11967]

@ryanreardon16 I know what that is like. Very frustrating isn't it?

[ryanreardon16]

I dont like the idea of govt. I personally think it should be everybody for themselves. Survival of the fittest and so there fore i would want an economic collapse. We would see the true anarchy and chaos. But im just an idiot and im crazy

[barnone11967]

@ryanreardon16 I think there is a need for government, but one that is not corrupt and full of greed. In an every man for himself situation, the strong would always conquer and take from the weak. So we do need organization. We just need it from an honest system of government for and by the people.

[Chismoso7]

I wouldn't stack metals 15 years ago. Chris, 15 years ago we did not worry about the economy, remember, we were worried about a blowjob at the White House.

[barnone11967]

@Chismoso7 Oh I remember that all too well. Times they are a changin' ;)

[0hbeast]

yeah, i think were doin it for the same reason...in a perfect world id be leaving it to my kids in 50 years...but we both know this world is far from perfect.

[barnone11967]

@0hbeast This is very true :)

[silvertopaz72]

Myself, I stopped putting money into my 457 retirement account about 1.5 years ago. This money goes to bye silver for my retirement. Why? I'm not sure of my S.S. and my state retirement will be there. I will not rely on the Gov. to be there for me and you shouldn't either.

[barnone11967]

@silvertopaz72 I feel you on your decision. I actually cancelled my life insurance policy that "invested" my money. I am not giving what little money I have to a product that will most likely be bankrupt by the time I needed it.

[SovereignBeing]

if the economy crashes chances are that g&s will too for a time, thats when 'they' buy it all up. anyone with any savvy will do the same..

the economy is destined to crash anyway, its a given, because that is part of the plan in order to introduce the new world order.

[barnone11967]

@SovereignBeing I am 99.9% sure that if the economy collapses (heaven forbid) Gold and Silver will see prices unimagined. I just cannot see them falling at that point. But I guess we will have to wait and see.... Well,let us hope that we NEVER find out ;). Thanks for your comment.

[SovereignBeing]

@barnone11967 orchestrated economic collapses happen every ten yrs or so, (so they can clean up and consolidate) to know the future some times we have to look at the past.. although this time things are different, it does imply similar pattern will occur..

[cmobley69]

@SovereignBeing And one of the biggest conductors is George Soros

[Thorneization]

i mean you buy insurance for your car, house, etc. in case something happens the difference with the gold and silver (same theory) except we can see the anticipating loss before it's coming and we are preparing to protect ourselves through education and purchasing PM's.

[barnone11967]

@Thorneization Excellent point. This is OUR "auto" insurance :)

[0hbeast]

thanks for the VR bud, much appreciaded. i'm new to silver and was just trying to get a better understang to your mindset on stacking. i think my angle will be to play about 20% on peaks and dips and keep the rest stacked. (hopefully) using gains to add to the overall pile. thanks again ~0hbeast

[barnone11967]

@0hbeast My pleasure. That was a great question. I hope that tells why I collect silver and what it means to me.

[revlisify]

This is fundamentally 2 different questions viewed together. The only reason why it is valid now is because the incoming economy collapse is built on top of unsound monetary policy.

To give another perspective, in all previous economy downturns, gold and silver aren't given the same type of interest it is today. Which also means, in certain situations, the price of gold and silver doesn't really matter.

[barnone11967]

@revlisify Excellent input and perspective. Man, people are really deep when answering this one :)

[revlisify]

To answer your question, if there's no "foreseeable" impending economy collapse, which implies the monetary system is working in order, then there will be better instruments to put your investment money than gold and silver. Then in this case, price doesn't matter (as much).

[cassanoa]

i guess it all depends how much silver and gold you have - right ?

[barnone11967]

@cassanoa Well if you are a stacker, I would assume then they would have more then 1 or 2 ounces :)

[cassanoa]

we are in a situation not of our making and out of our control - so what we need is reality and logic - the economy will collapse because it is approaching or at the tipping point - i would rather that this system collapse so we can create a new system with maybe better solutions -the system we have now is rotten and needs to be reset

[barnone11967]

@cassanoa I hear ya... I just thought that question he/she posed was an interesting one. Sometimes to fix a corrupted computer, you need to hit the restart button :)

[Thorneization]

i buy it as insurance.... if it drops and we figure out the world.... i am in

[barnone11967]

@Thorneization There ya go. Great answer. same here.

[endlessmountain]

I guess I am 1st, 2nd and 3rd

[barnone11967]

@endlessmountain Hogging up all the spots eh? ;) lol

[endlessmountain]

the easiest way to fix a dishonest money and dishonest government system is to replace it with an honest money and government system.

[barnone11967]

@endlessmountain If only it were that easy. Seems the corrupt and the dishonest tend to rule throughout history. Because they have the evil in their hearts to do what it takes to control people and conquer them.

[endlessmountain]

that is an easy answer because that is like asking particulars on an if like "if elephants fly" or "if the sun sets in a total different direction, north or east etc. or if the press will admit to their mistakes this friday morning as some things are impossible and need larger than lottery odds to occur. Therefore how can the economy not collapse and furthermore how long does it take for a collapse happening and is that the current state? Furthermore, why would we want to remain where we are.

[barnone11967]

@endlessmountain You and I both know that there are people in the world who enjoy corruption and evil and like watching people suffer. So not every one is as rational as you and I and many others like us :). IF it were that easy, things would have changed centuries ago. You always leave such great comments and full of detail :)
