That came to me asking about investing into Gold/Silver.
He asked me "what should I do?"
I told him to do research and come to his own conclusion because I wasn't going to be responsible for his money if my predictions are wrong.
I did how ever arm him with some light (heavy) reading that paints the picture the way I see. I did my best to use articles and discussions that were about Numbers, Events, and Facts; Not speculation/Advice. This way he could read through it, get educated, and draw his own conclusions.
It took a little effort to find some good links and Materials so I thought I would share what I gathered, so if anyone else needed to do something similar for someone else, they could start here.
These articles are all relative to Post 2008 Economic crash.
