I’m not seeking to complain here, just offering useful suggestions of how to improve the blog. I wonder if, when there are multiple links listed, as above, if there would be a way to make the text bigger, so when I click on it on my mobile device, I have more room to for sure click the correct link.

I was one of the poor unfortunates that was caught off guard when the ammo shortage hit a few years back. I always kept a couple of bricks of 22 LR handy for plinking and hunting, but when I ran low and went to purchase more I could not find it any longer. I started looking around and found that no one had any on their shelves as well as being very low on other common ammo like 9mm or 223. When I did finally get a brick of 22LR it cost me more than $70 and it killed me to pay that price. Boy was I out of touch with reality. I didn’t want to shoot my ammo for fear of not being able to replace it. So every chance I had to buy ammo, especially at lower than average prices, I did just that. I was buying everything in bulk from 100 rounds to 1,000 rounds. My purchases were normally around $500.00 at a time. When I bought flats of shotgun shells they had to roll them to my truck with a hand truck. The kid helping me load them asked if I ran a shooting range and I just smiled and said yes you can say that. I was ordering items online too. I had actually found an ammo watch site that pulled from multiple dealers across the country and listed their ammo price cost per round. Now I have more than I can shoot and I still purchase ammo for stockpiling, but to me it is just as indicated here in being great barter items when needed. So now I have plenty to shoot and practice with while having little fear of running short. I also have plenty to trade with if need be. Storage may be a bit of an issue with all the ammo cans stacked up, but the fix is in the works for that too.
I find it amazing anyone would listen to anyone who claims any expertise in predicting the future of the markets when everyone got it wrong last time. Did anyone’s broker suggest they sale right before the last crash? Silver has been “going to hit $200 an ounce” for years now. Today it was $16.35.
Silver is being manipulated . More states are accepting gold and silver as forms of currency . When the dollar crashes …and it will its a fiat currency that’s backed by promises of debt ..its only a matter of time. History tells us every 10years we have a financial crisis . 2008 was 9 years ago.
