It’s news like this that just makes me go buy more ammo. Stay safe, FRiend.
The ahh, *super wealthy* are some of the main charactors behind this *economic adjustment*. They don’t need to hide *our* money.
I'm going down to the bank next month and close all my accounts. Then, I'm gonna take the check over to the Gold shop and convert the whole sehbang into Gold coins. I sure hope the ole pickemup truck can haul the whole bunch in one load. I'd hate to have to make several trips.
CW2 Bump!
Fraud, getting money by lying, is a form of stealing.
Actually, I agree with you and in fact have usually advocated ‘fertile land’ as the best investment there is. But as far as having something you can grab quickly and take with you on the run, it’s nice to have some gold laying around.

Welcome, to the second stage of the dialoge!
Been reading some Argentinian history in the form of a survival book... and some soul searching... and some bet hedging... and some praying.
I’m not too old for this shit, but I was kind of looking forward to some fishing and hunting. May just have to combine the two trains of thought and make the best of it.
Stay safe.
I hear ya! I’m in the same boat.
Yep, it’s good stuff.
IRA ping
That’s a great idea. I heard Neal Boortz mention that saving strategy. It’s good on many levels.
We started doing it just to have a pile of spare cash around and then we decided to see how long we could go without touching it.
What a surprise we had after a few months when we decided to finally count it up. We were "Holy sh**, honey! Look at all this cash!"
Give this a try. Before you know it you'll have several hundred dollars in small bills. That's NEVER a bad thing to have around the house.
Yea, we're not getting any interest on it but we're not dependent on the bank being open or succumbing to the debit card temptation either. And did I mention it's a decent sized pile of cash after a while?
It takes a bit of discipline, but that shouldn't be a problem for the likes of you. Just keep saying "everything smaller than a ten spot!"
Take care my friend.

On that logic, Roth IRAs are safe.
Where can you get antibiotics?
Shortly after I first heard of the Roth IRA I read an article by one financial advisor warning people to stay away from the Roth because one day the government would renege and tax the money.
“-—— would that bother a lib SCOTUS I wonder?”

Yes, about as much as Adolf Hitler was bothered by the plight of the Jews.
Change your name, dye your hair, gain or lose 100lbs.

That hundred pounds bit would be extremely difficult either way!
Money won’t buy happiness it’s true but it will let you be miserable in high style!
I agree with you and in fact have usually advocated ‘fertile land’ as the best investment there is.

But in a situation such as we seem to be facing how would one maintain possession of fertile land? Titles and such are only good when there is a stable society. You may need a fortress with machine guns and artillery and even that may not be enough.
