That man said "the dollar will decline, but silver will always be silver" = True, but silver's value fluctuates just like the dollar's value fluctuates; and nothing you can do can influence it to increase in value.
The market that is more stable than precious metals is real estate. Invest in land; and you can cause its value to raise by improving it.
No matter how bad a recession is; people will always need a home - and they won't be buying precious metals in a recession; they will be selling them to buy the land.
So you invest in the land; improve it; and when hard times come you buy up people's precious metals to give them the money to buy your properties. (that way you get your money back immediately).
Then when the market goes up again, sell the precious metals for a profit and buy up more land, and start improving it. (and the circle continues). Land ownership gives you tremendous power and political pull as well.
Then when you're rich from following my advice, send me 10% of your net profit; etc.
