Silver is unproductive and speculative. It is just as volatile as any single investment, and there is even less guarantee of it remaining stable as with gold.

To actually hedge against the breakdown of societies, cigarettes are probably more attractive.

I'm very long caffeine in that scenario actually, fewer smokers than the last time we had massive currency devaluation. It's annoyingly tough to store unfortunately.

Also, 190 proof alcohol has many uses.

Buy .22LR, some chickens, and a goat. You can use the chickens for egg and meat, the goat for milk and meat, and the .22LR for varmint hunting and trading.

Better hurry up, though; ammo prices are skyrocketing, though .22LR has been fairly stable at a touch over $0.03/round.
