The Case for Precious Metals Is Only Getting Stronger

"You must be assuming we go back to caveman status and remain there."

What the heck are you going to do with physical gold? Ultimately you'll have to take it to a retailer and lose premium on it. Now if you think all the banks are going to collapse and so is the USD, you should put your money in a bunker and stockpile food and water rather than gold. If the apocalypse happens, I don't think anyone will care about your gold coins when they are hungry, thirsty, and need petrol. Or at least have some smelting equipment so you can make new denominations.
