1. Kinda hard to get too excited about what PM may do. When you don’t have any, and can’t afford it now (in quantities that would make any difference in the long run), then it really isn’t much of a factor directly in the survival equation. I know, PM pricing reflects economic health and so on and so on. But I pump what little surplus I have into real commodities, like food, ammo, supplies; things I can really use in a SHTF situation. If I had any surplus wealth, I suppose I would be more considerate of PM. Right now I have one mint condition gold Maple Leaf, more of an expensive souvenir and a novelty, kinda like the cheap C Russell knock-offs I have hanging on my wall. I tasted that Maple Leaf once. Don’t know as it would do much for my pancakes in the morning the day after…

   1. Start with pre’82 pennies and nickles(sort change)you may even find silver

2. I would like the editors opinion on so called bump fire stocks, both as a practical alternative to automatic firearms, and as a potential barter item own range as it were. I also would be interested in your opinion of owning a NFA registered firearm vs a bump fire rifle which needs no registration.

   Also is it not possible for the ATFE to open a window for new registration of pre 1986 NFA firearms, finally the NFA refers to machine guns, not select fire weapons,would it be possible for the Trump ATFE to simply change the regs to allow for burst only select fire weapons to be taken out of the NFA

3. betting on artificially rare items seems unwise. As for actually using full auto, even simulated like bump-sticks, is wasteful in almost all circumstances.

4. also, “down range” WROL, machine guns are easier to make than semi auto.

5. As a long time reader of SurvivalBlog (and professional Survivalist myself), I’m well aware of the the decline and eventual collapse of our current civilization.

   However, I’ve also been fascinated with the stock market all my life, and am finally transitioning to being a trader full-time.

   The problem with silver is, to be honest, that it’s in a long-term downtrend. The main indicator is that silver cannot get above its 50-month moving average. Until it can get above that (the next two years, maybe?), it’s pretty much stuck. If it can break that, then we’re on our way back to $25 – $30 /oz. Call it manipulation, whatever. All I look at are the pure technicals (I try to avoid YouTube, Zero Hedge, or anything else that can distort my discipline.). I’m even currently making money with silver on paper (USLV) during the current rally that I identified the bottom of recently, but I don’t expect it to last beyond the first week of August. Needless to say, I’ve made money shorting silver this year, as well.
