Maybe they bought gold, or diamonds, or something else. These people aren’t standing in lines at ATMs. They aren’t going to go homeless or hungry. But these people get a pretty bad rap—at least here in the US, where we call them ‘doomsday preppers.’ Or ‘bunker monkeys.’ Or ‘conspiracy theorists.’ Or ‘gold bugs.’ They take a beating. Jim Rickards tweeted the other day, ‘I’ll bet there a lot of Greeks saying, ‘I wish I had bought some gold.’’ Truer words have never been spoken.”
