There is an argument also for tax use of these assets - its a whole different discussion but the retail price of US Eagles and the premiums as a result of turmoil of last 3 years is clear.
Few metals and gems in a collapse would be worth much...
Survival training has never suggested that we gather from Day One as much silver, gold, other precious metals and gems.

The reality is a collapse is not uncertainty... those are two different things.
