It'll be interesting to see what does happen to metal. I do happen to know that very wealthy types are piling into it big style, as they no longer trust currency.
If I had money to spend I'd lash out and buy some small coins - 10th Britannias, 20th Oz nuggets etc., and stash them. Not because I think the gold price will go up (although I think it will) but because of having something of historic and immediately recognizable value to barter/trade if the muck ever does hit the fan.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
