Yes, gold stocks are good. I believe I have about 60,000 shares of them (very cheap ones!) I am wise enough not to buy commodities (futures)!
Of course, the reason the government would impose rationing might be because it could not abort inflation. And I do agree with you that the government is now printing enough money to bring us inflation when the recovery begins.
