Abstract reasoning; speculation: a decision based on experience rather than theory.

The three "G" plan that I bank on is Gold , Guns and Groceries. Albeit I'm a hard corp barrator who believes that in the future a single round of .22 long rifle ammunition will be of more value than a paper dollar I believe in investing in my country with one fifth of my wealth/income.
Sometimes that has resulted in drinking two fifths in a single session of angst but hey who said anyone knows what is the right way with regards to financial security and sucess.
Short of that genuis that is selling his "clean" urine to idiots who have to avoid the drug test results most everyone else like me has to work for our ideas on how to survive these days.
Gold ,IMHO "LAZ" is not something to get into for the short term......Ya want quick return on an investment :
A. Visit the plasma bank.
B. Get one of those cadaver tatoos on yer foot ( I'm two inches shorter from scraping those off all the time)
C. 4 or 5 deposits a day at the sperm bank (did'nt "you" tell me that one ?:o) and yes ladies he's taken ;o),
D. Eat in grocerie stores (and walk out after desert)
E. Harvest someone elses garden at night ( I said "harvest" not plow as your "married" now Laz)
F. Use an Oklahoma Credit Card (siphon hose) for your gasolene purchases......ect ect.
Gold is a long term "wait" investment...........Just my opinion of course !
Stay Safe Ya'll..........
That's not so far fetched any more: a lot of rich ragheads are working hard at getting the means, and MAD means nothing to them.
Or, "container bombs" 20X OKC going off in ports and in trains crossing key bridges (easy with GPS) all over America one fine day.
Or twenty smallpox carriers getting off twenty airplanes and getting multicultural.
ETC.
I just wonder how the economic dislocation might play out. MAD worked with the Russians; in the end they loved their kids more than they hated capitalism.
Not so with our Insane Death Cult adversaries.
