I invested in brass/lead to hedge against SHTF.

Short answer is Yes. There's no currency/country arbitrage opportunity buying gold in 1 country and selling in another. It's a global market.

You gotta separate the two. Throw out the notion that USD = 0.87 EUR or whatever.

I think I misunderstood you - thought you were referring to a specific currency rather than currency in general. However, it doesn't make t worthless without a currency to exchange. Maybe I don't want your oil, but if I trade you my goats for your oil, I can trade the oil to someone who values it for their goods.

Someone, somewhere wants that oil. And the market is asking somewhere north of $41/bbl.

Crude oil, gold, silver, palladium, adamantium, enough already... You want ROI? Coca leaves, turn it into cocaine... Problem solved... Take it to Australia - cocaine prices are almost triple in the land down under vs USA...

But I have goats....don't need any more. What then? If you cannot barter for my stuff, your stuff has less value...or no value?

1. There is no such thing as too many goats. How dare you!
2. I would trade my goats to someone else for something that you want... Like a box of donuts

US coke markets is a huge loser if you're trading retail. An 8 ball been $120-150 for 30 years. And this isn't inflation adjusted. RETAIL SUCKS. But good if you had the habit since the 80s and haven't died of an 80s-era party illness already.

But if you're higher up on the food chain, it's return is off the charts. But with great reward is great risk.

Think Tony Montana but less money and less glorious death.

Attention old dudes or anyone who ices for muscle recovery. I recently purchased a couple of knee ice compression packs. I ordered them in L/XL so that I could wrap my thighs with them. I just took them off after icing for 30 min and my legs were so damn cold I took a temp measurement. Then took one of the ice pack. ....after 30 min of use at room temperature. These things rock!

Shock Doctor ice compression wraps.
