There are financial institutions which will manage a precious metals IRA for you. <br /><br />Gold, at over $1000/ounce, is a bit pricey to buy unless as part of an IRA rollover; but silver is less than $20/ounce and there are precious metals dealers from whom you can buy silver bullion in one-ounce bars or rounds (or two, or five; or fractions of an ounce), as few as 10 at a time.<br />Bob the Apehttp://trousered-ape.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-34314354475058111862015-07-04T13:32:37.931-05:002015-07-04T13:32:37.931-05:00A cash supply and gas generator sound good.

I do know it's fairly complicated and involved, and not something to do on your own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-55794903598404138102015-07-04T00:04:33.036-05:002015-07-04T00:04:33.036-05:00On the general subject of supplies to get by for t...On the general subject of supplies to get by for three months - Mr Heinlein would have approved for a free lance writer - you just might have some new and old friends who are on the rolls of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints - smiley. Those friends will have useful specific suggestions. <br /><br />One specific suggestion is to look at https://providentliving.lds.org/self-reliance/food-storage/home-storage-center-locations?lang=eng#Eastern US (watch for bad HTML at the break Eastern space US )and other related topics on the site. No need to do it all by yourself and no religious test. A friend of Jerry Pournelle already has the definitive free lance book on the subject of prepping in work as a follow up to such suggestive works as <b>Lucifer's Hammer</b> and others.clark myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04087642063181620051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-30337091345705385202015-07-03T23:12:16.941-05:002015-07-03T23:12:16.941-05:00Yeah, I've been moving my money out of the ban...Yeah, I've been moving my money out of the bank, and stocking up on foodstuffs myself. Part of it is Greece, and part of it is what I saw happen on Long Island a couple of years ago after the storms when for some strange reason, the government wasn't allowing gas, oil, or food, to flow onto the island for a week. <br />My father bought a gas generator for the house.<br /><br />In the 60 years my parents lived there, never had power been out for more than a day.
