The price of gold is down about $50 an ounce and silver is down about $1-$2/oz in the last week or so. We were told that the prices would go up since Biden banned Russian gold. What's going on?

You can't take it with you.
As far as what I think about the other items, I remember what the Master said.
Matthew 6:19-21
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Matthew 6:24-26
24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
I do buy food on sale and stock up my pantry, but I think I need to focus more on stocking up my local food bank at this point.
I don't think it's sinful to stock up and prepare for supply chain shortages or natural disasters. As I stated, I've been preparing as well.
With that being said, if America is indeed Babylon of prophecy, and indeed falls in our lifetime, all of the preparation will be for naught. Same goes for if it doesn't. We don't know the time nor the hour.
If it doesn't, that gold and silver could come in handy after the inevitable collapse of the fiat dollar.
The previous chapter states what happens when the fifth seal is opened. Notice those who are slain for their belief in the word of God and spreading the gospel message are given white robes and they are told they will "should rest yet for a little season" until the other joining them in white robes should be killed as they were.
Revelation 6:9-11
9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
