Gold Buying Panic In China: 10,000 People Wait In Line For Their Chance to Own Precious MetalsMac Slavo But what happens when all the machinations are proven to be fruitless during the next stock market crash and currency crisis? Thats when people panic. Thats when they start mass selling assets that hold no true value, and shift their capital to physical goods that store and preserve wealth. In China, where the central government has manipulated the currency, economic and financial markets for decades, the people have seen it all before. And they arent taking any chances. While the paper price of gold and silver may have dropped nearly 25% this year, its clear that demand in the real world is soaring. If you want to know what its going to look like in front of precious metals dealers when confidence in our governments ability to manage this crisis is finally lost for good, then look no further than the streets of China. These are absolutely stunning.

Just as is the case with food, guns, ammunition, Xboxes, and iPhones, when widespread demand strikes its nearly impossible to get your hands on the goods you need at a fair price. Get yours now, before the panicked masses realize what has happened.
