Oh, with that currency, goats and chickens, maize, sugar, ANYTHING would have been a good buy. We could have gotten rich on pocket lint, with a million percent inflation.
All fiat currencies eventually go to zero. As you point out, it is the timing that is tough to figure out
That's why I am sitting here, and not in the Cayman Islands, counting my money. I did NOT sell gold when it hit 800 once years ago, holding out for 1000. Then it went to 400. Then I sold it when I should not have. So take anything I say with a grain of salt because obviously I am an @sshole!!(Realizing that if I had made a correct guess about peaks and bottoms, of course, I would have been a revered "Expert!)
I definitely want some of that food...got any good sources?
All the places selling MRE-Type military or survivalist stuff are backordered and way overpriced. But in the supermarket are those room-temperature stored microwaveable meals at much lower prices. Even Taco Bell puts them out, if you are into gastronomical self-abuse. (Just joking..actually they are not bad.)
The manufacturers would rather die than put scary words like "Radiation" on their packages..but of course they are.
