“Of course, not everyone in Greece is hurting. Many people saw this coming and took action. They took all their money out of the banks, put it under the mattress, or maybe stored it in a safe. 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.”
