To me Equity is not an option now, and has not been for several years. I think there is a big jolt coming yet from Banking, Housing and Auto.

With expected tax increases at the new tax year, inflation will get involved and bonds will take a hit downward.

The new Regime is eventually going to come after Social Security recipients who don't "Need" it, and ultimately attack balances in 401K accounts as a source of money for social services.

Where can I put some funds that will endure the coming economic meltdown in the U.S.???

Anything you said wouldn't surprise me.  I think the Idi Amin wannabe is going to do his best to break the average American any way he can.  I have no idea if his give-away programs are out of his desire to have us become a socialist economy or if it is out of ignorance.  However, ignorance is not having the opportunity to learn something and he has had the opportunity to learn through minority programs.  I think that just leaves stupidity as his driving force.

Subject:   Cash is probably out
Date:   11/10/2012 8:47:14 AM

With all the quantitative easing I think inflation is a foregone conclusion so cash is not the way to go because it will depreciate in value rapidly. Of course if you are very close to retirement then it may be the only way. But if you were counting on appreciation of the markets to make up for a shortfall, at least for the next four years and probably much longer after all the damage has been done I would say forget it. No easy answer other than you have been screwed by the leeches in America because they want their "free" stuff, and when they run out of our money they will riot in the streets ala Greece. Some precious metals might be a good hedge against inflation. As for me, I am investing mostly in my own business which I know is not an option for many people. Allows me to avoid taxation, provides a decent income, etc. But in this day and age I do not recommend it as it is a huge struggle to stay alive.

I am investing in ammunition. Already told my brother what I am going to do. Sell my businesses, move the money offshore and then join GF in line for all the free stuff. Where's my Obamaphone?!?!?!?

How many cases do you think is enough?  I measure my stockpile in numbers of thousand rounds, but if the poop ever does hit the fan even that probably won't be enough.

I have a friend whose neighbor stocks so much that the fire department told him they wouldn't try to save his house if were to ever catch fire.  Would make and impressive fireworks display!

I am more concerned that both my house and lake cabin are quite soft and not easily defended.  Foxholes maybe?

When the SHTF replace those pretty little game cameras with claymores, and have someone "camp out" with a good .308 or light 50 a bit away from the house....

I know you guys are kidding now. But, seriously, what do you think is going to happen when the free stuff, the gov'ment checks and ObamaPhones stop working???? And they will.

I can tell you the leeches in our country are not going to take kindly to having their free stuff taken away. Of course with my new strategy I might be right there with them protesting. But when I go home I pity the fool that tries to come in and take my things. They will be greeted by the business end of my tactical shotgun backed up by an AR-15 or similar.

MM, when that time comes I will use affirmative action so you get a pass from the leeches. The Obama phones are easy to get. It's the batteries you have to pay $2 for a fresh one. I think the $2 deductible is a Republican ploy to make the leeches support the greedy right like you.

Yeah I know GF, it's greedy to want to keep your own hard earned money but somehow it's not greedy to use the power of government to take that money and give it to the worthless, lazy leeches. I think the mirror is for them, not me. I have done all the right things, made the sacrifices and took the risks to be successful. Nope.....the mirror is for the losers that were lazy, incompetent or too stupid to be successful and take care of themselves. And I will do anything and everything I can to avoid letting them have one more dime of my hard earned money and I am glad to do it. Meanwhile, unlike the tightwad left wing nuts I will continue to give 10% to charity and volunteer my time. I know, you are all for redistribution of wealth so you are exempt from charitable giving......after all, you've done your part......
