SHTF Silver

[KevDen2005]

I go with small denomination silver bars/rounds 1, 5, 10 ounces. It's good for SHTF but also retirement investment or something to bequeath children that government can't track well and tax.

Agree. No big ingots. Everything is in 1 oz form. But the ASEs vs rounds still makes me scratch my head. Or even higher value ASE. I don’t see a need for them beyond wealth management.

I do think ASE have their place and I have a few rolls, but I think silver at the lowest cost possible is your best bet for retirement investment or having a savings account you can't just tap into. I personally like having an investment that isn't followed by big brother. If I need the money in an absolute crappy situation I can take my silver to a lot of places and get paid out for it, again why I like small denominations so I only sell what I need to and again not tracked. I have never done this and wouldn't do this unless I had absolutely no other choice.

As far as SHTF, anything is possible. CavScout's response hits a lot of the points I also believe in. Barter is gonna be a big thing in those situations with the things people have done for 1000's or millions of years. Whiskey and such is also a good barter item as he pointed out.

I try to keep a broad spectrum of preparation for anything since no one knows. I think retirement planning should be a the top of the list.
