Thanks for the perspective.
Commodity based?
Ann Barnhardt has been warning for months about a collapse in the commodities trading market. Advising her customers of the past to maintain physical possession of their commodities.
And for the really wild stuff like derivatives, that is a real wild card.
Well, those countries whose economies are based upon commodities are certainly in posession of them until sold and delivered. Food, oil, industrial and precious metals, etc.
The states within the US that have continued to do reasonably well have largely commodity oriented economies, too. Canadian provinces as well. “Old economy” stuff, tangible products that continue to have value for trade, necessities.
Not glamorous, no seven figure bonuses routinely handed out, just real. Reality appears to have become a sort of precious thing, financially.
