I read your survivalist article, and I think I'd only add...
toilet paper and canned/dehydrated soup to their list. LOL
Real skills is a plus as well. My local family is well suited for this as all of our houses are free and clear, we have land for hunting and fishing and the skills to take advantage of it, and we can create tradeable commodities in a barter society.
I haven't sold any physical yet myself either. Just too many big negative scenarios still possible out there and all we need is one big key event to bring the huge inflation factor into focus. I want to remain ready for that just in case it should appear sooner than expected.
Just heard Santelli again. That guy is realist and tells it like it is.
The talking heads in the "OCTABOX" were all saying how much better things are looking bla bla bla and Santelli comes on shaking his head and smirking at them.
He asked them to fill in the blank..."The US is a bright shining example of fill in the blank.
All they could come up with was "It's better here than anywhere else". Santelli laughed and said "Yeah! That's about it."
He then proceeded to tell them about the treasury auction that they'd just completed where there were 3 dollars bidding for ever dollar available in the auction, citing the fact that the flight to safety is ANYTHING BUT OVER.
Boy, you really have to weed out the mindless cheerleaders and lost souls and focus on the very few that can deal intelligently in honest reality.
McGRANDPA's choice of Palin for VP was irresponsible, dangerous and an insult to Americans. By that choice and his continuing evil he's proving he'll do anything to win this election even to the point of endangering his own country. DEFEAT HIM!
McBUSHIE'S choice of Palin was irresponsible, dangerous and insulting to America's intelligence. That choice and his continuing smears/lies prove he'll do anything to win this election even to the point of endangering his own country.DEFEAT HIM!
