1. You should have already distanced yourself from your financial agents. If you haven’t you are headed for significant displeasure and strain.
2. Make sure you stay three months ahead on necessary items that could experience distribution delays such as prescribed medicine and preferred foods.
3. Even though real estate is far from a buy, if you can afford a second home outside of major cities it would serve a good purpose.
4. Own gold.
5. Consider that good gold shares of non-US companies incorporated in a non-US country operating in third country, traded on multiple exchanges are a means of money expatriation legally and in broad daylight if required.
6. For currencies, all you can do is own a spread held by a true custodial ship wherever that might be.
7. Buy a tin hat.
8. Get a sandwich board and a megaphone.
9. Aquire a shotgun.
10. The one where Delboy falls through the bar (no list, whatever the subject, is complete without this 'hilarious' moment).
11. Build a bunker.
12. Stop reading mentalist blogs on the internet.0 -

Very true.
But to answer your question the guy appears to make a living in the precious metals industry and his website is really an advert for this. It's a bit like the Ann Summers website predicting the end of the world and having a blog that suggests you buy a gun, store food, buy a tin hat but also stock up on crotchless panties and sex toys. Just in case.0 -
