If I wanted to start another savings 'account' but, didn't want to use a bank or an envelope underneath my mattress, would it be smarter to buy gold or ammo. I feel gold is a more stable commodity but, with that said stable commodities and stocks generally go up in value but very slowly. Look at Coke or Disney for example. If you had 100 shares you wouldn't make a whole lot over 40ys vs penny stocks which you could have either made a killing or gone completely broke had you invested the same amount of money as with a larger company. I feel ammo is like this in the sense that it will fluctuate more but, unlike the penny stocks I doubt that the value would ever drop significantly below what it is right now. (I now I'm comparing apples to oranges here). My question is, with all that being said, would you rather invest in ammo or gold?
 
Gold is nothing but a bubble waiting to burst right now. If you had bought it 10 years ago, it was a good investment. Right now is the absolute worst time in history to buy gold. It is at or near its peak value and will soon come crashing down. I am appalled at all the radio talking heads pawning gold as a great investment. And they accuse the left of lying! Oh wait, they are all a bunch of liars!

Would you like to hear how I really feel?

I agree with this, however Ammo is also at an alltime high so neither one would be a good investment (money wise) at this time.

Ammo. Cause when the shtf you can use that ammo to take someone else's gold.

Very good point.

Sovietak474u, Why does that quote go so well with your avatar?

And Torino, I agree I don't think Gold is a bubble. As I stated it's most likely always going to go up as currencies inflate but at a slow rate. I'm looking to make a quick buck here within a two year period. Will $1000 or $1500 worth of .223, 7.62x39, and other popular calibers be worth more in a year or will it go down? I'm certain in the distant future it will go down (proportionally of course) ie a $20 box of ammo might go for $40 twenty years from now but that might only be equivalent to $15 of 'today's' money. In the near future will it go up or down? Opinions?
