If you have money buy up assets at depressed values. The key is to have money during the depression. If you don't then you are in a very tough position as jobs and business opportunities are scarce.

Thats about it, cash would be king once more and your visa card would not be worth the plastic it is printed on. The ones with the most unsecured debt would be hammered into the ground.
