So as I look at our portfolio, I’m focused on trying to figure out the safest way to protect assets in the coming/in-progress planned collapse.
Which asset classes are safest?
ie: which are the hardest for Dear Leader and his bosses to steal/depreciate/confiscate, and which will at minimum slow them down?
Most folks have one or more of these:
Bank CDs
US Treasuries
Bank Brokerage funds
Stonks held in Roth
Stonks/Mutual funds held in Trad IRA’s/401Ks
MM funds held in Roth (Schwab/Fidelity etc)
MM funds held in Traditional IRA’s/401Ks
Fixed short term 5yr Annuities (typically held by and Insurance company - example Athene)
Whole/Universal Life policies with cash value
Bank Checking
Bank Savings
Physical Gold and Silver
Cash buried in the ground
Art/Collectibles
Real Estate
Ammunition/Bourbon
Of course many would say:
Art/Collectibles
Real Estate
But you can’t exactly eat those or buy toilet paper with them unless you find a lender to advance you hard currency in return for using them as collateral, in which case you no longer own them.
