GuestLookoutBelow,
I like your well thought out insightful financial analysis. You must have extensive experience in financial services industry. Were you once a Wall Street investment banker or analyst?Tell me more!
What should I do with all my money. Should I liquidate everything and put it in gold coins and put it under my mattress?
You got me thinking, maybe that cabin in rural idaho with bomb shelter is not such a bad idea now! I can stash the gold, perhaps build a 100% self sufficient water/power and hunt for food.
…gotta rrrruuunnn…Panic attack is settiing in now…..no no RUNNNNNNNN

ParticipantLookbelow said?….
Nobody wants the US debt at low interestes rates (4.69%) because of these silly assed politico scams like the “stimulus plan”…..So they didnt buy the bonds..
Got treasuries ?….if you want to make a little money and be somewhat relaxed in it being a safe investment….for now anyway…Thats where the “Smart Money” is right now, hiding in safety, NOT invested in the market for potential returns. Check out TreasuryDirect.gov……google it up. its pretty simple.
________________________________________________________It appears that you recommend purchasing US bonds thru TreasuryDirect as a safe investment, but you also said nobody wanted the US bonds at 4.69%.
Could you please explain this, I am confused.

ParticipantReally hard to tell where this is going. As far as I can see, the only way out, short of ‘reset’, is inflation. But reset may be what occurs. It would be deflationary. Economic collapse raises the specter of destabilization and war.
In the meantime, I’m trying to run a business. That’s my day job. The uncertainty factor makes it more challenging. We have long-term contracts with annual increases, for example. None of this is good for business, to say the least.
