The scenario I am talking about is a lot more serious than what happened in 2007/2008.
Look for fiat currencies to disappear and the IMF to attempt to recapitalize nations (or the entire world) with one central (partially backed) new currency. Most likely digital and like I said "partially backed" by a physical resource.. ie silver/gold
Things that I see guaranteed value in (IMO)
WATER (WELLS WITH SOLAR POWERED PUMPS) FOOD (SEEDS AND LAND THAT IS PLANTABLE) REAL ESTATE (LAND) SOLAR PANELS (BATTERIES AND BACKUP) GUNS / AMMO SILVER / GOLD
This is a list for worst case scenarios, if the train gets completely off the tracks..
The PHYSICAL silver/gold will be for hope that the IMF is able to maintain control and created a NEW "partially or fully backed" currency... most likely digital.
In this case you would be one of the very few holding real wealth. Granted that you have faith things can rebuild and infrastructure hasn't completely eroded
