No cindona, Thank You! it makes my day when I run into another awake aware person. They are few and far between.
What to do with money today. Small local banks, credit unions, matress, real wealth... i.e. tools, productive equipment, farm land. there is a good long list of what one might want to own going into this.
Anything that is "held" for you by a third party is likely toast when push comes to shove. Just ask MF Global "clients"
The problem I think many have coming to grips with the numbers and what elites and gov'ts (pawns of the elite at this point) are doing is that it can't be reconciled with human normalcy bias.
RV. The issue boils down to this (at least for me) slowly at first some of us will start switching from the corporate financial system to the small business local community. A movement that has already been building for 4-5 years now. as more and more individuals decide to "protect" something (just in case) others will follow. at some point gov't will clamp down hard on this exodus from the status quo and cause a run on the bank. if you find yourself in that line, its too late. It's an issue of a day late is too late.
Also no one can know when it triggers. gov't and the talking heads will insist all is well and getting better right up to the moment they call a bank holiday.
Banks paying zero interest should be a sign to all. vendors financing your purchases at zero interest should be a sign to all. gov'ts putting in capitol controls should be ringing alarm bells all over.
The "system" will pretend all is well right up to the cliff and even in the Wiley E. Cayote cartoon phase of running in air, just before he looks down...
2012 will be one "interesting" year
