Maybe some bears can explain to this noob what joy they will get out of lower house prices.......when the share market has crashed, the economy is in ruins, unemployment is rampant.........etc etc etc.
None. But it is your duty to yourself and family not to be ruined by events which are reasonably predictable. As I've said before "He who loses least wins!"
How do you get your money out of the bank when that happens? And what do you do with your gold? Didn't know you could eat that stuff........
When you can't get money from the bank (happened in Argentina for a few days) or that money is rapidly becoming valueless, precious metals can be traded for food as has been traditional for millenia. No reason to be confused,
