Welcome to SurvivalBlog’s Precious Metals Month in Review, where we take a look at “the month that was” in precious metals. Each month, we cover the price action of gold and silver and examine the “what” and “why” behind those numbers. Gold hit a 4 1/2 year low of $1,131 an ounce in the first week of November, then posted three straight weeks of gains to the $1,200 level. The rally was snuffed by the November 27th OPEC meeting, where oil production was maintained at its current levels. The resulting crash in crude oil futures pulled the currencies of oil-producing …
Hugh! Thank you for posting RBS’s link for the free WP program. We also use Libre Office, but even more, we have completely abandoned MS in favor of Linux. A fair amount of my work involves keeping our real estate website updated, which we use Kompozer photos for which we use a free program called GIMP, maps and more, and have gone completely down the open-source route. Linux has just released Linux Mint 17.1, which is, IMHO, by far the finest Operating System out there– even better than Apple’s. It’s not for everyone, but I encourage anyone who is looking …

Dear Hugh, I’ve been following the blog for quite a while now, and have read more than one Self Directed IRA post. However, no one seems to address what happens when someone “withdraws” assets from such an account. In a typical tax deferred IRA, I pay no taxes on the money I put in, but do pay when I take it out. Leaving the whole Roth IRA issue aside, what happens if I buy property with my SD IRA and then become old enough to “withdraw” it? In other words, I know I cannot live on or use the land …

I am writing this letter in response to the question posed in “Letter Re: Surviving Financial SHTF and Becoming Debt Free, by K.D”. I am a CPA who thought about investing the day I got my first job. I am not a licensed investment representative, so as a result I will not tell you what to specifically invest in. However, I want to teach you how to look at the market. The first tax season I worked, I noticed that people poured money into what was “hot” at the time, and they took a loss when the market went south. …

As we prepare our lives for the unknown, the various categories needing attention are overwhelming. Many start with the obvious: water, food, security, defense, and self-reliance. Once we secure our basic survival needs we almost all come to the same next dilemma: money. How do we shelter the fruits of our labor from the coming storm? Retirement accounts are among the largest asset for the average American. Many people have five and six figure sums of money in these accounts. Whether you’re concerned about a currency collapse, government theft, or complete societal breakdown, finding a good home for these …
