The fifth and sixth recommendations may be the most important. There is a HUGE amount of Baby Boomer IRA/401k money. There have already been very quiet congressional hearings about how to tap into that money - one mentioned here is to require that money to be invested in gov't securities instead of stocks (which would be a windfall for the gov't and lock in those savings at low interest rates even as inflation soars), another would be outright theft by "nationalizing" that money as a "social justice" measure under the theory that the people that received a tax benefit to defer those savings clearly were doing so at the expense of their neighbors who were too "poor" (or foolish, many of them in my opinion) to save themselves.

Investing in real estate is a tricky issue, since the local (and in some places national) gov'ts can tax that out from under you.

Precious metals is a good choice, but always in small quantities, from multiple vendors, in small physical denominations, and in cash.
