Rich,
A little timeframe would be helpful. I had a client's son convince him to buy $100K of gold stock a few years ago, because the son said the end was coming. The $100K is worth a little more than half that now.
I'm trying to understand the timing of your disasters....European bank collapse, weather flip-flop, and US gov't breakdown leading to civil war, etc. When do I need to start hoarding cans of baked beans and gas for my Coleman stove?
I hope you find Bigfoot before the [Bleeeeep!] hits the fan....seriously.
