I've probably received hundreds of comments to the tune of "Buy silver now, it's on discount/I want them to keep prices low so I can buy more/I want silver to go to $10 and ounce, so I can buy more." And I'll be honest, it gets old. But still, they're right. It is easily one of the most undervalued assets on the face of the earth, for a variety of reasons including manipulation.
Also, great bit there at the end about God. It's true, He will provide one way or another. But it's also true that He can guide us into preparing for rough times, perhaps so that we can also help others. From a Christian, as well as practical aspect, I still think the key to find balance. Resteemed!
