I invest in metals as an investment, as I don't want to take the time to learn how to play the stock market. If the world descends into chaos while I have a pile of silver and such then great, but my only plan is buying low and selling high. There is certainly many reasons for people to stack metals, your reason is the right reason for you.
If the world collapses I plan on making feminine hygiene products.. lol. I know at least 50% of the population will buy my goods.. and the other 50% will thank me.
