My cite? I just have a feeling. It’s in my bones.
OK. I’ll go buy gold. And guns. Maybe a gold gun.
I think you need new bones.
You don’t just want gold - you need silver too. I think a gold gun is a good way to go, you want to travel light. It’s less cumbersome to than carrying gold and a gun.
My bones have been very accurate in predicting the non-collapse of the economy or the last several years
What’s wrong with tanks?
I’m pretty sure the US will be using the M1A2 for the next 1-3 years…hell, it will probably be with us for the next 20 at least. And if I were going to tank, that’s what I’d want.
No, what you need is a golden gun that fires silver bullets. Covers all the bases then, see?
If you really believe that, then take all your money and short everything.
Now we know who hasn’t been paying attention to the news. Lots of people think that several major countries are in danger of heading back into recession.
It’s clear that if the GOP doesn’t get off their obstructionist track, foreign investment is going to go from “much lighter” to “near zero.”
Well, that’s not entirely true, foreign entities are into buying our real estate now, instead of our stocks. If we elect any of the current Republican presidential candidates world opinion will turn on us in a way even greater than it did under “W.” And that could, yes, tank the economy again; just like it did last time.
“Tanking”? It never recovered in the first place. We have 94 million people OUT of the labor force, and mediocre growth rates for the past 7 years. basically, we are in a zero growth, zero job growth economy, supported by massive debt issues (National Debt over $20 Trillion). When we stop printing money (and letting Wall Street gamble with it), watch out.
Why do you think that’s bad? We’re talking people who don’t want/need jobs or can’t work.
Which is it? Mediocre or zero?
An average of 217,000 jobs/month added over the last 5 years is zero? Where did you learn math?
Why do I suspect the OP is going to return with a great investment strategy for us?
I don’t to be the guy with one weird trick that investment bankers hate
In my own sector (the automotive industry) sales have been red hot for the past couple of years. At the current pace, we’re certain to reach an oversold state within the next year or two.
You’re sales will plummet when the economy collapses!! duh:rolleyes:
In times of economic crisis, I always ask myself “What would Scaramanga do?”
Well, Scaramanga was played by Christopher Lee, who we all know was the real life “World’s Most Interesting Man”.

You can buy my guns. I don’t want them anymore, and would rather buy an airplane.
Buy a secluded fortress on a small south sea island and weather it out. Just don’t invite a Mr. Bond to be your guest.
