Well, now the virus has hit the fan, and the trade is now evens for TP or bread.

You gold bugs can eat it or wipe your ass with it. Hope you're delighted.


prefer to eat something better than spam in the future so trying diversify my investments. Maybe 15 per cent or so in precious metals if it gets really bad. I don't think it will be depression like conditions but there will a pretty deep recession I think worldwide. Id prefer not to live like a pauper in the future before Im too old to do anything. And do a lot of out of state and some out of country hunting and fishing.
