We published three versions of the Prepper’s Bunker Q-Review Special Report, in June 2019, in March 2020 and in June 2020. This entry is based on the June 2020 report.

The three scenarios we present here, Depression, Systemic Meltdown and Bailout/Hyperinflation are the fundamental (economic) ways out of the approaching crisis. That’s why we think it’s vital to know them.

Please see the historical appendix for best performing stocks during Global Financial Crisis and the 1930s Great Depression.

The Prepper’s Bunker

We detail the factors investors should acknowledge when constructing their crisis preparation portfolio, that is, what we consider the foundation of the “bunker”.

We will present the general guidelines for crisis preparation, but also some specifics related to the three crisis scenarios outlined in our December 2018 issue. However, these observations do not intend to provide any specific stock recommendations or offer direct investment advice (see the disclaimer at the end of the report).  

We address broadly the fundamental issues of crisis investing: how to ensure the liquidity of assets in an effort to capitalize on the depressed asset prices precipitated by the crisis.

We start with historical lessons on asset safety.
