Silver stacking, perfect timing

My dad is still sort of a doomsday prepper><>>>>

You say that like it is a bad thing. Anytime someone questions hard currency I simply say got back to 1933 and put $10000 in paper currency into a box and $10000 in face value of gold coins and then you can keep one box. Which do you keep?

Lending Club is awesome. I have been playing with it myself for at least six years, maybe longer. I haven't added any cash to my account, but it is currently earning me 11.96%. At one point it was closer to 14% but I prefer the higher APR loans which invariably mean more defaults over time. I really should consider adding more cash to it but just paying the bills every month has been too hard lately.

Compound interest is amazing if you can get yourself on the right side of it

I used to use Acorns, which would round up dollars and put them into ETF's but I'm pretty conservative in investing and wanted almost guaranteed returns. So far no defaults, but the lowest loan I buy into is B4 with 0 delinquencies in the last two years. As I get a bigger built up stash I might go riskier, but for now I am content.

Now my concern is when to sell, but I feel there is plenty of growth to go. I bought from eBay and JM bullion. The trick is where to convert it back into cash. If I sell it on eBay I take a 15%+ hit, if I sell to local gold shop I take a 20-30% hit. If I sell on CL I risk getting scammed or mugged. So I sit and wait...

I have been thinking about how to sell and be safe. It just occurred to me a way that might help with the safety issue. I think I would advertise 5 or 10 OZ on craigslist. I would meet with buyers and make the deal. The deal would be small enough that the risk of getting robbed would be fairly small and you would be able to meet the individuals. I would probably make several deals to meet more than one buyer. It is my thought that you would probably come across at least one or two who would look and seem okay that would be interested in buying more and possibly larger quantities that you could arrange to make larger transactions at a later time.

Here is how to stockpile antibiotics. The top of the search should be Doc Bones and Nurse Amy if the search is the same on your page as it is on mine (that is the podcast you want), but I would imagine all the podcasts there would give you information you could use....
