Don't let them bamboozle you. To preserve wealth you can always hold gold and even if they call for confiscation you can trade it outside the US. This is what everyone did except the patriotic Joes that handed over their gold to the government.
Actually those in the know without the need to liquefy just held on and waited out the confiscation. But I still recommend you hold silver in the US since it is actually written into your constitution.
Whatever you do don't trust some article written by banksters to keep you in paper...
