SELCO: My Experience with Precious Metals During a Collapse
by Daisy Luther, The Organic Prepper:
Last week, I read with interest the explanation for preppers about gold and silver. It was very informative and brought back some memories of my experience with precious metals, which I thought I would share with you.
I am aware that with this article, I might kill (or at least threaten) a few “sacred cows” but from time to time I do write similar articles about this topic. There are a lot of misconceptions about the usage of precious metals after a collapse.

Gold To Soar Between $5,000 – $12,000: Keeping The Big Picture And The Long Term In Perspective
by Przemyslaw Radomski, via Silver Doctors:
In our regular gold trading alerts, we focus on the short- and medium-term outlook and we rarely discuss the very long-term issues or price targets. The reason is simple – the long-term issues and price targets don’t change often, so usually there’s little new to say about them. Consequently, it’s been a long time since we last discussed our view on gold’s explosive upside potential. In fact, it’s been so long that those who do not take the time to read our analyses thoroughly and those who have been reading them for only a short while may think that we are bearish on gold in the long run. Or that we’re perma-bears. Naturally, it’s nonsense and those who have been diligently following our articles know it. What we’re aiming for is to help investors position themselves to make the most of the upcoming rally in the precious metals market and one of the best ways to do it is to help people prepare for the final bottom in gold.
For Sterling (Silver) Results, Repetition of the Basics Is Worth Its Weight in Gold
by David Smith, Money Metals:
Whenever you encounter a “sticking point” in some activity – any activity in which you are engaged – it always helps if you “return to the basics.”
Sure you may “know” what they are, but do you really follow them? Ask an expert in most any field of endeavor, and he/she will tell you the same thing.
The basics that lead to outsized results are still around and followed for a reason – because they work! Take the idea of building up a comfortable position in precious metals…
Financial Blowout Before the U.S. Midterm Elections in November? Time For a Four Powers Agreement and a New Bretton Woods
by Harley Schlanger, LaRouche PAC:
Wednesday, August 15, 2018, was the 47th anniversary of Richard Nixon’s Aug. 15, 1971 announcement that he was taking the dollar off the gold standard, which de facto meant the destruction of the post-war Bretton Woods system. This opened the floodgates to the creation of a London-based “dollar” currency for global speculation, a cancer which ended up taking over the U.S.-based dollar itself. It also was the end of the entire fixed exchange rate system for trade between nations, which meant that, for developing sector nations, the wall between international speculation and their national currencies was demolished. Whole nations once again became colonial satrapies of the City of London with a living hell of war, drugs, and poverty quickly taking over.
Who Would Invest in a Gold Bond?
by Keith Weiner, Gold Seek:
Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffet famously dismissed gold.
“Gold has two significant shortcomings, being neither of much use nor procreative.”
I have recently written about how a government with gold mining tax revenues can use gold. The benefits of issuing gold bonds include reducing risk, and getting out of debt at a discount. Pretty useful, eh?
As to his second point, one should never confuse suppressed withimpossible. By President Roosevelt’s edict in 1933, the government made it illegal for Americans to possess the metal—as in a go-to-prison criminal act. The government busted every gold bond. Of course, under such conditions, gold could not be useful or procreative. If they wanted to keep their gold, people kept it well hidden.
