I have done a little bit of research on this topic so finding this book was a big help. It filled in some of the blanks like: "Where can I actually buy some gold and silver?" and "Why are they selling $1 coins for more than a dollar?"This book is a quick read and has great resources. For instance, I was pleased to find a site that I can now go to to buy precious metals.I also liked the quick history on the Federal Reserve. I had read about this years ago so it was good to see my old research confirmed. On another note, I was surprised to learn that, historically, currencies will not only decline but become completely devalued. (Who knew?) So, as the author says, "Know when the smart money gets in".One thing I was thinking that left me questioning, however, was "So what do you do with all this precious metal you've saved when the currency is devalued but you want to go buy something (like an airline ticket to another country)?"Overall, I was very pleased with this informative book. I liked the question and answer format. It's straight and to the point, which is highly beneficial for such a potentially complex topic. Also, nice job on the resource section offered at the end.
