Land, equipment, maybe even stocks that pay a dividend so I can buy something even more useful later on. Until they make gold toilet paper, I cant think of any use for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32972305.post-89976124635068122072008-10-20T23:35:00.000-07:002008-10-20T23:35:00.000-07:00"low_five said... the peasants are getting restles..."low_five said... <BR/>the peasants are getting restless hypertiger. we are going to game over this blog soon."<BR/><BR/><BR/>I haven't had time to edit a new post.

Because they were rich and became middle class. The tradgedy has always been from going filthy rich to middle class. To the rich middle class is poor. To those of us who came from modest backgrounds we know we will have jobs because we are not above working for a living. If the job market gets competitive then we just work harder. Its the privledge who realize they are no better than the working man/woman that cant take it. They have to learn how to whipe their fat arses again.

Collapse, according to the dictionary, is defined as a significant reduction of complexity which, without doubt, is currently happening in the financial market. The result will be a lot of unemployment and widespread poverty, a new class of former middle class paupers. The end of times is not what I'm preparing for but rather a prolonged recession or depression, and being out of work for a year or more, and still getting by. Fruit trees and a garden are a nice way to save on expenses, and not paying rent helps when unemployed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32972305.post-11793128504337819652008-10-14T15:43:00.000-07:002008-10-14T15:43:00.000-07:00the nutz have arrived....

You say you prepared years ago, I'd be interested to hear what you did or are doing. You mentioned you reduced your living expenses as far as possible, that is certainly an excellent and eventually inevitable idea. Here is my plan so far: Reduce montly rent to zero by moving into my lakeside log cabin next month... it is a summer home so in the winter it gets pretty cold there, so we still have to shell out money to the Top to heat it... a wood stove would probably be a good investment. In the garden we planted 8 new fruit trees, 12 fruit shrubs, berries and other perennials... more to come this fall, and I'll do a garden as well to grow vegetables. Basement is full of long term (>15 year) storable dehydrated and nitrogen sealed food stores, a year's worth for two people. One year of living expenses in Gold/silver/platinum/palladium in a Swiss bank safe. Two months of living expenses in cash in basement safe in CHF and EUR. Two nice used bicycles to ride around and into town without a car. Solar oven for the summer. A safe full of hunting rifles and ammo (my dad hunts). No debt. Of course I still depend on the labor market... but at least it's a start ....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32972305.post-46084616835723098462008-10-12T21:37:00.000-07:002008-10-12T21:37:00.000-07:00Gold is being inflated in price by dollars...when ...Gold is being inflated in price by dollars...when the production of dollars slows...the price will eventually collapse.<BR/><BR/>I don't answer investment questions...gamblers call themselves investors so do get rich quick speculators...So when you say investor...I have no idea what you are talking about<BR/><BR/>The 700 billion is not new money.<BR/><BR/>consumers request commercial banks to manufacture money...over the past 64 years they have requested commercial banks to manufacture 50.8 Trillion dollars of new money...51,000 Billion dollars.<BR/><BR/>In the same period of time the US Governemnt has issued 9.8 Trillion dollars worth of Treasuries and have BORROWED 9.8 Trillion of the 51 Trillion dollar money supply...and since it's credit it's also debt...No new money has been created.<BR/><BR/>in 1945 the the money supply of the USA was 355 Billion and teh amount of that...that the US government had borrowed was 258 Billion.<BR/><BR/>or The US Government had borrowed about 72% of the money supply to run WW2.<BR/><BR/>Currently the public debt is 10.1 Trillion dollars and the money supply 51 Trillion dollars<BR/><BR/>Or 19.8%.<BR/><BR/>The US Government is actually in better shape than in 1945<BR/><BR/>Basiclly the inflation you see now is as good as it's going to get...<BR/><BR/>without consumers willing and able to request comemrcial banks to manufacture new money...there's no driver for hyperinflation.<BR/><BR/>Other than cuts to supply faster than demand drops.<BR/><BR/>As for buying gold or silver coins...I don't see a problem with it...<BR/><BR/>And the only way the forigners are going to stop buying US debt is if US consumers stop producing it.<BR/><BR/>Otherwise their economies can't function without it...They are forced to buy it.HYPERTlGERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03351868801627245661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32972305.post-32074872933585169022008-10-12T15:33:00.000-07:002008-10-12T15:33:00.000-07:00Love reading your blog.

You are absolutely correct in that the US consumer is tapped out and cannot borrow enough money anymore, therefore not enough new money is manufactured that way, and that per se is going to lead to a deflationary collapse. However, as we've seen with the 700 billion bailout, if the citizens cannot borrow and request new money anymore the government will just do it for them, in their name and on their credit tab, which would lead to hyperinflation. As this time around there are no more gold standard limitations, or any other limitations including legal ones, on how much the government can borrow in the name of their citizens. Other than, of course, how much of this new debt the market (foreigners etc.) are still willing to buy... once they stop buying our debt anymore it's game over for the US Dollar... but that too would not be deflation but a currency collapse. So why do you think gold is not a good investment right now, and that it'll collapse in price? Just wondering... I realize that if society were to collapse, that it doesn't matter much anymore what gold is worth, just trying to understand why you are in the deflation camp instead of at least deflation interlaced with inflation....SShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15046744262766991678noreply@blogger.com
