I read the whole letsrun thread on gold. And I do agree that the rate of government spending is unsustainable and our financial system is in deep trouble. Gold has a long history and was recommended by many here. But others thought gold had no intrinsic value and its price was inflated.
Well how about nutrient-rich survival seeds as an investment? They have intrinsic value. Have been used to barter with a history longer than gold. Glenn Beck recommends them. If gold prices are in fact in a bubble would survival seeds be a hedge against gold prices which are likely to drop? The seeds will radically increase in value after the collapse.
Everyone has to eat right?
