Price of ammo going up or down in 2015?
Would be interested to know what your thoughts are.

Here's an article projecting a price crash:

Here's an article that say's it won't crash:

Not trying to argue the merits of what it means to be prepared. There are valid arguments on both sides of what it means.
Some preppers will go into debt to shore up supplies, others have just enough to carry with them. Both are valid in my eyes.

What I take with a grain of salt is information that comes from the supply side of the equation. They have a vested interest in the information they choose to divulge in order to perpetuate sales. Supply arguments, whether real or perceived, will always be used to justify pricing.

I'm coming from a purely economical investment, much like real-estate or any other commodity.
Don't want to be caught "catching a falling knife" but at the same time I don't want to be in the position of, "I should have bought it when it was $xxx". Hindsight 20/20.

Hmmmm, what to do?
 
Wasn't it LBJ who asked for a one-armed economist so he could't say "but on the other hand..."?

Anyway, prices are quite good right now, IMO (except for .22) and ammo in all calibers is plentiful. Even at the height of the ammo "crisis", I could always go shooting because I always keep plenty on hand.

I'm sure a few people made a little money reselling ammo but I can't imagine it's putting their kids through college.

I can tell you which way prices will go when you can tell me how many school shootings/terrorist attacks there will be.
 
I see 2015 as a year to buy ammo and firearms as 2016 is a election year and speaches will be made shelf's will be empty .

Awesome! Yes, election years in the past have created runs, especially with gun grabber candidates.
One GOOD argument to buy now.

We don't do party politics, and speculating about such things is a pointless exercise, as demonstrated by the linked articles.
