Buy More Ammo!

I used to think this was just something Dad29 liked to post in the comments, but maybe he was on to something:
The recent rise in gold prices is only partially justified by fundamentals. Nor is it clear why investors should stock up on gold if the global economy dips into recession again and concerns about a near depression and rampant deflation rise sharply. If you truly fear a global economic meltdown, you should stock up on guns, canned food, and other commodities that you can actually use in your log cabin.[EA]

That's NYU professor and economic commentator Nouriel Roubini. True, Roubini has a reputation as something of a doomsayer, but he is a professor at NYU.

By the way, ammo's not a bad investment, either.

Three years ago, 9mm rounds were about 20 cents each.

Now they're about 50 cents each.
