There is a reason to stack if I ever heard one.. the Oz of silver bought in 1985 for 6$ is worth ~ 18$ today.raptor wrote: The sums adjusted to 2014 - would be a need to spend $66 million to get $660 million.

BTW let that sink in ...the dollar that you saved in 1985 (29 years later) today buys ~ $.54 worth of goods today.
IMO Bullion is the way to win this following the stamp example in the movie... lots of it is minted with a face value well below it's metal weight ie. the Canadian 1g .9999 gold maple sells for about 60$ with a face value of 0.50$CDN.

You seem to think a 'savings account' actually saves your money.
