Currently around $6,500/oz. Not the US stores of gold, that's all gold on the planet.

1971 price (when Nixon drops gold standard) = $275/oz.

Since then, we've printed enough money to buy all the gold on the planet about 30x over. But everything's cool, because US military is now the basis of value for the dollar. And that will last forever, because we can always print more money.

Right?
If you have extra cash sitting around, it's not such a bad idea to put some of it in gold and silver for very long term asset management. It's a terrible investment, in my opinion, but a great tool for swing trading (though ETF and futures are better instruments there).
Farmland is a good investment. Land in general tends to be a good investment. Rural land, that is.

Yeah, that's what I meant. I probably should have specified. Though, if you know what you are doing, any kind of productive land can be good assets depending upon the local real estate markets.

That's my plan. The minivan was my last big item purchase for a long, long time.

My plan is to get a defunct nuke silo, retrofit it for habitation, and be ready for the shit to hit the fan. Fuck the rest of the world, it's pooched.

Somebody remind him we already have proportionately less white dudes in tech thanks to H1B's.
