Thanks for the post, Travis. No one seems to want to talk about the economy, but I read 321 Gold often. Don't own much myself, believing a bird in the hand, is worth two in the bush. Put my money in assets that could be eaten, or assets that could be used to grow food. Land,cattle, tractors, feed, seed, and fertilizers. My grandfather always said all one HAD to do was feed themselves. His family learned the lesson well in 1833 Indiana. They came from Austria to pioneer with 10,000 dollars in gold, but almost starved to death. Can't buy much of anything on the bald face of a prairie. So much for gold.

If that's you in your bio, I assume you fish. Good for you. Stocked three lakes three years ago with Hybrid Florida bass. They're about 4 pounds now.

Way to go on stocking your lakes. It's akin to planting trees that your children and grand children will benefit from.

Exactly, unless you have the physical resources to sustain your family for at least a 3 weeks with no outside help (Power, Food from the store, Ect) and the means to defend it you shouldn't be worrying about speculation. When the power goes out you can't sell your investments, your stock certs, if they even issue them these days, don't make for much warmth if your burn them, and you can't eat them. If you for some reason you couldn't liquefy your assets how long could you feed and shelter your family with what you have in your home right now?
