For those who have not read the attachment to ESL's post, suggest you do, and especially the specifics of Hyperinflation, which WILL come to the U.S.

Imagine that hyperinflation is now ready to break out here in North America (mainly U.S. but when U.S. sneezes, Canada catches cold).

When that happens, to measure gold in U.S. $'s will be futile. No bullion holder in their right mind, will sell for U.S. $’s.

Now imagine your gold bullion, supposedly held in a third party secure site and you have a debit card for 75% of the value of your holdings, in U.S. $’s and you try to do a reversal, i.e. Cash in your card for your bullion. Good Luck with that!

Suggest holding bullion over everything else, gives peace of mind, if nothing else.

This is the way I plan for my future. It may not be for everyone, as not all see as I do, but one of my basic philosophies is “Always protect the downside”.

Good Luck to all!
