10. Gold or silver ETFs

I'm looking into these to protect some of my assets. I'm no financial expert and don't know anything about ETFs, fair warning. I'm nearing retirement.

I don't think I want to live in an oligarchy. I don't have as much time left in my life's timeline. What time I still have, I don't want to live in Pottersville. Looking into the abyss of insane republicans.

Replying to you to scream: Each GQP government has had mondo crashes in equities and assets since I've been voting.

I still hate George W. Asshat. We nearly lost our banking system twice due to that Bush crime family: Savings and Loan. 2008-2009. Privatize the profits, socialize the risks. Assholes.
