In order to understand the system I am about to describe, you must understand that our economy runs on two assets - hard assets and paper assets. Hard assets include gold and silver, which have a constant monetary value. Paper assets are forms of currency. These are used for actual buying and selling. The value of paper assets will fluctuate. Hard assets are different - one ounce of silver will always be equal to one ounce of silver.
The question you should be asking next is how you can use this to your advantage. First, buy some hard assets. Set aside some of what you buy to hold, and do not sell it. You must remember that the economy can crash. Take a small portion of your hard assets, let's say silver, wait until it is in high demand, and then sell it. Wait until the asset you sold is in low demand, and then use the money you made to buy that asset. You will find that you will have more of the hard asset now than you had before. This is because when something is in high demand, it is worth more than when it is in low demand. Repeat this process, buying and selling when the time is right.
This might sound similar to the stock market. I tell you this - do not trust the stock market. When you buy a stock, can you hold it in your hand? A stock certificate, maybe. But if the market crashes, the economy fails, your stock goes with it. You will not get that stock back. You will have nothing to fall back on.
What about manual labor? How about selling crops? Upon examination, you will see that these are not dependable methods. This is because they both rely on paper assets - the very asset that crashed. You may get paid for manual labor and selling crops, but the currency that you get paid will be low in value. You cannot depend on that currency.
In a time when the stock market has crashed, and even in a time when the stock market hasn’t crashed, hard assets are dependable. They have a constant value, unlike paper assets. Remember - one ounce of silver will always be equal to one ounce of silver.
