Buying Silver for Physical Posession

[FISH4BUGS]

I am sure many of us are buying Silver these days. Where do you get it and how do you store it?
i am ready to put money into silver for physical posession in the safe.
Any help or advice is appreciated.

I am skipping right over silver and gold and looking at things that will sustain a household.

I would rather have $1,700 worth of food and gasoline than an ounce of gold if and when things collapse...

...and I won't be trading for anything that is not useful in sustaining a household.

I have a local dealer I have bought from.

I strongly suggest if you don't have yours in a bank safe deposit box, do not be telling people on the internet where your stash is.

Many years I bought gold from this man - no problems - fast delivery.

My advice, read the Patriots: Surviving the coming collapse by James Wesley Rawles
He has a blog too, great info:

I don't plan on staying in place, too many "have nots" to contend with coming up the hill. Everyone has a "BOB" (bail out bag) and I have just started on the silver. I dumped about $80.00 worth of change out on the table the other day. Only found one pre-64 quarter and a few buffalo nickles. Time to hit the junk dealers and reputable coin shops. Going price is at $32.00 an ounce IIRC right now.

I just sold a roll and 1/2 of 60's quarters I had accumulated. Bout' fell over when the handed me a check for $700 plus last week.

There's no way I would buy gold or silver at these current prices.

Solid advice.

Food items that I buy just went up 25-30% in the last 3 weeks here in CA, even at Wal Mart.

Better plan well where you go when you "bail out". Pretty much every piece of land is
owned by someone, although there are national forests and such. Most farmers and
ranchers are not going to be welcoming folks 'bailing out' with open arms. More likely
with small arms.

This 'head for the hills' mentality seems a bit unrealistic to me. Better have a place that
is safe or at least defensible and the goods and tools to make it through any hard times.

There's so much remote land in this country, I think someone could do OK in a mobile camper rig, but be prepared for security. Setting out on public land, national forests would be safer than a city but anyone can enter your camp at any time. Owning land, and knowing your neighbors and surroundings has it's benefits.

Fools have wandered in our neighborhood before and learned real fast that folks around here don't welcome strangers uninvited. Nobody wanders in these parts. You've got to have a reason to be there.

Well that could happen while I'm of a mind that if the you know what hit's the fan, it's not just going to knock it over, it's going through the wall and into the next room.
If something on the scale I am worried about happens (heaven forbid in mine or my kids lifetime), folks better gather togeather, because the have nots are going to be one mad group of folks that don't have anything left to loose. Think London in every major city in the US when enough is enough and Uncle Sugar can't pass out welfare and food stamps any more.

Invest in firearms, ammunition, components, powder & primers.

I am not planning on "bailing out", "bugging out", "hunkering down", or anything else of that nature. Here is where I am, here is where I'll stay.

If living in the wilderness offered more choices for day to day living than being in a town, that's where all the indigent people would be right now, living large.

Hunting for food may not be an alternative with 150 million other people doing the same thing.

Be sure you have plenty of the "other" precious metal, lead...Ray

Gold just pushed $1800.

No way I'd buy at that price. I'd go dig some up before that, and I know I could do about an 1/8 an ounce a day. But lord please don't make me get back into that again ...

Please continue to buy my stuff everyone .. ...PLEASE!

You know , I was at the save a lot where I customarily get ordinary food the other day. They are a third to a half off prices other groceries around here charge. If you can live with the limited supply of different brands that they offer they are all right to get just plain food at. But, as i started to say, the other day I was there to stock up on tomatoes and beans and oatmeal and the price of oatmeal has gone from $1.89 to $2.39 per big box in the last 4 weeks, meat was ridiculous and didn't look good to me, and pot pies were $.75 each. Poverty is coming upon us I fear. I think I will set up squirrel feeders rather than bird feeders this fall.

Personally, I truly believe as soon as business and individuals see Obama's and Harry Reid's end in sight, we will see things turn around on a RAPID clip.

There's a lot of wealth sitting out there scared of being invested simply because of these idiots. We're not headed for doom unless for some crooked reason Obama gets reelected. Then hunker down, cause we'll be totally screwed.

+1 on the patriots book it's what made me strive for self sufficiency.
