You dismiss concerns about hyper inflation (your post 53) and ridicule those who challenge your wonderful insight.
Being prepared is like insurance. Its a backup in case the worst happens. The “worst” is becoming more and more likely and investing your ‘insurance’ in a mutual fund won’t protect you if it happens. Heck the government is already trying to take over peoples retirement accounts which would devastate the mutual fund markets. Yet you propose that as a solution.
The debt most certainly affect inflation and if you don’t see that then you are indeed the wrong person to be offering advice.
Even as we speak there are 5 or 6 billion people in the world who could not care less about the threat of hyperinflation, and I'm one of them. However I did ask you what you meant about 'insurance' and you were kind enough to answer. So I thank you.
What is the “worst”? Why do you feel it is more and more likely?
