Now, to everyone else, buy gold... buy silver... Cause fiat currencies are about to dislocate due to the fractured supply chains.

Buying gold bullion a couple of years back when the price was $1,400-$1,700 p/Oz would have been a wise choice considering it's now exceeded $2,500 p/Oz.

Silver? .. Not sure .. currently about $26 p/Oz. IMO silver's real value lies in it's anti-bacterial properties .. it's why royals have eaten off silver for eons.
Turns out copper has a similar anti-bacterial quality .. one of the reasons copper coinage was fazed out when the discovery was made and its value increased. Last time I checked copper was about $6k p/Oz, but was only about $4k p/Oz a few years ago.

Personally, I wish I'd been cashed up enough to buy palladium a couple of years ago when it was under $2k p/Oz, it's now almost $4k p/Oz ... Palladium is a by product of platinum refining, like rhodium, and both are used extensively in catalytic converters.
Platinum mining is generally a bonus of mining something else (generally in silver/lead/zinc deposits) so palladium production can't be ramped up because mining platinum is secondary to mining something of lesser value.

IMO opinion platinum is the best metal commodity investment going. Has come down from $1,900 p/Oz to $1,400 p/Oz.
It's the only well known mineral/element that is less electro-negative than gold (means less reactive - harder to corrode) and so is perfect for extracting fine particles of gold via electrolysis.

Now if there's a large war imminent and you're in a safe country the best investment option is titanium. Tanks are made from it.
The Ruskis had titanium hulled submarines that could evade American subs because they can dive deeper.
I've often wondered why NASA makes its space vessels from thick aluminium covered with Teflon tiles?
The Teflon tiles need replacing after each re-entry, and aluminium is easily damaged by space junk.
If space ships were made from titanium you could re-enter as many times as you like indefinitely and not worry too much about hits from space junk.

I agree about platinum.

Tanks as in tracked vehicles with big guns on them? Really? News to me. Titanium is very difficult to manufacture because it must be welded in a vacuum. Ceramics are harder than Titanium. The Russians just before the collapse of the fUSSR proposed building a tank out of ceramics for the British, when they were looking to replace their Challenger MBTs. They weren't taken up on the offer and the fUSSR collapsed soon after.

The Akula class could dive deeper but they were considered to be a failure as a class even if technically brilliant. The Akula class introduced new means of manufacturing and shaping and welding large plates of Titanium.

It would make spacecraft (actually you're talking about the Shuttle which is no longer in service) which are hideously expensive even more hideously expensive. Titanium is not like Aluminium. It is an appreciably more expensive metal and without the Shuttle would see only one use.

Bwyannnmnnn
Has been busy googling Dr Google again.

I wonder,
If his computer goes down,
Does he head back to the suitable patch,?

One guy (Chinese) was caught trying to sell a 20 pack of toilet paper on Gumtree for $2,000. When he went to meet the purchaser and get his $2k he was met with a news crew lol.
