I mentioned putting a portion of what you make from scrapping somewhere else, but yeah,
scrapping isn't your airy fairy 9-5 job is it? it's reasonably hard work if you put the hours in,
instead of spending all the money from scrapping, putting at least 10% in silver is a smart choice.
I think the argument of whether people can afford to buy your gold or silver if shtf has already been proved,
sure you wouldn't be going to the market to buy a pig with a 1kg gold bar as you won't get change,
but you can buy land, tractors, cows & helicopters with gold bars, casinos would put you up in a 5 star penthouse suite
for a couple gold bars in hard times, with all the bells and wistles too, you can watch the madness & looting from your balcony.
I don't think gold is worthwhile unless you can afford to sit on 300+oz
any less then that, you may aswell stack silver, so that probably means most of us.
yeah I love my fractionals, I'm hooked on 1/10oz scotsdales and alternate between 2 tubes of 50
and a 10oz coin or bar, that way I level the overall cost of my silver out in between the two prices.
I don't see anything wrong with keeping some of your scrapped pm's though, I think brass & #1 copper is worth stacking
just like silver, I just have a feeling we'll see $12lb copper before $60oz silver, but that's just my opinion.
since it's free and you can control exactly what you keep, why not? your just gonna sell it to a yard that will do just that.
I keep the copper wire from inside the yolks, not the two bits around ferrite, the two bits inside that you can take out cleanly.
I'm stacking them, aluminium heat sinks, the real fancy ones, the platinum disks from hard drives, the magnets,
all have awesomeness about them and very stackable next to my silver stack.
buying silver is an excellent money manager for me, i'm hopeless with money, can't spend it quick enough.
so silver is a good decoy.
