Any stackers?

[Dentoro]

Any gold and silver stackers here? What amount of silver and gold does the average family have? What would you consider enough for a family of four? What do you consider a big stack? What do you consider enough? Do you use some for trade now or just stack? Most wealthy building companies recommend 5% in portfolio, but most have none I would guess.

If the only pm's you stack are brass and lead, awesome but stay in the ammo forum please.

We like to keep around 50 to 60 ponds of gold on hand. If it starts approaching 75 pounds we'll trade it off for some fresh gefilta fish. 100 pounds is our minimum on silver. HTH!

I am curious about using it for trade. My thoughts are that you would probably only get melt value (spot) for your gold or silver. Then you wouldn't be able to replace it for the same price. Maybe I'm wrong about getting melt for trades. I'm just guessing.

As far as the other questions, I doubt most folks want to give out that info on a public forum.

I have zero. How does something that does not appreciate help me build wealth?

I've got $69k in gold. I always sell my vendor trash and out dated armor. There's a guy in Boralis paying top dollar

If I physically held precious metals, which I don't, I wouldn't discuss amounts stored. Just like how I wouldn't tell how many $2 bills I have stored under the mattress either.

watching as well, from what I am told regardless of condition when you go to sell it you typically have to sell at scrap prices, so I guess it would have to appreciate enough in 10 years or more to make it worth while to store etc? Seem like Real estate would perhaps be a better investment?

In a SHTF situation lead is the best investment you can have made.

If you are in contact with survivors you had better be trading on your offensive/defensive prowess. OPH! I said prowess, that should set us all to tap dancing around the question.

I never asked how much anyone had, I asked what would be enough. All my questions are very vague on purpose. This thread is going exactly the way I though it would go. NO one has any. NO one has any interest in it. NO one holds any in their portfolio. The average family holds none. NO one uses it for any kind of transacting whatsoever. This is why I have not really considered it. The only reason I even asked is because I heard someone say stocks, bonds, 401's, bonds, cd's are all nice but still all paper. I was just looking to avoid some pitfalls and pull a few nuggets of knowledge out if I did start. It would seem I'm beating a dead horse to go down down a dead end road. I will give you melt value for your two dollar bills though.

IMO Gold, silver, jewels, and other highly valued items are all similar to stocks, bonds, and other paper investments. At the level most people deal with them they all require a third party to convert them to a fiat currency before they can be used. Depending on conditions that could be favorable or not. If the SHTF it may not even be possible to convert any of it into something useful. Better to stockpile food, defensive supplies, etc if that is your concern.

They are helpful to move a good deal of net worth in a small space though. Like if you’re fleeing to panama

I thought "stacker" was one of those kids that stacks solo cups in different configurations for time.

Ran out of stackers the other night. Meijer carries very few Vlasic items compared to Kroger. No pickles on my cheeseburger!

You assume nothing depreciates? If I misunderstand please explain.

Seems you’ve got all the answers, so why ask!?

Gold is overrated. Buy silver
