you probably want materials that can be converted to a useful product or alloy with relative ease, aka, if things go tits up you need to be able to sell it to relatively normal people with normal levels of equipment. bars of titanium are not going to put food on the table :lol:

steel and lead make sense, as well as silver for medicinal purposes. copper is workable and serves a number of purposes from cooking to electrical repair.

i think the best thing you can have is land. you can build on it, sell it, harvest it, hunt on it, and broker it. easier said than done for you guys living in the city though.
