Prices

[peterb]

So basically have the US Govt come in and restructure all existing consumer debt to 1.5% with no one able to default or go BK? This would be nationalization of about $10T? Bring the world to it’s financial knees. Crowd out all private sector activity for the biggest economy in the world. Socialism transition.

Prices need to come down to a level that is sustainable by wages. If this means economic failure by individuals and companies, so be it. But it’s what’s got to happen and the global market will not allow anything else. All intervention will do is prolong the event and perhaps make it much worse.

[quote=jpinpb]If there’s a worldwide crisis and the dollar is worthless, then what difference would it make to have cash on hand? I’ve heard/read to buy gold. But in a real crisis, you can’t eat money or gold. Just stock up on food and water, right?

I can’t imagine it will get that bad, but I made a trip to Costco today, JIC, and got a few extra things. [/quote]

You know. I’m normally pretty calm about things. But at this point. I have to admit… Peterb’s posting and folks like you got me to start thinking, the what if…

Personally, Peterb, I want to believe you’re a lunatic, and I was pretty jokingly responded to one of your posts about a bullet proof vehicle…

But you know, there’s a paranoid side of me this morning that told me to

1)Buy a safe….check.
2)Take out of cash (in case we have a run on banks)….check…
3)Buy a few boxes of cans of food for my family and relatives….check
4)Buy a gallons of water…check
5)Buy a gallons of gas…to do
6)Buy a big, highly capable SUV that can get me,family, and relatives to canada….to do..
7)Find a company to add light body armor and bullet resistent glass to the SUV…to do…
8)Buy a few guns..just in case…to do..

I’m not as concerned about the stock market crashing right now as much. Nor am I really concerned about employment. Because over time (assuming we really don’t have a complete meltdown), that will get resolved one way or the other.

But, I guess i’m thinking IF we have a systematic breakdown, and if it’s really back to food/shelter/bare necessities..it won’t matter if you went long or short in the markets…

Vons store clerk looked at me kinda funny today, because I pretty much filled up a cart full of canned foods.

“Preparing for a natural disaster, like an earthquake?” she asked.

“Disaster of some sort, something like that maam” i said.

Worse comes to worse, all this goes to the food bank a year from now, and we call all laugh about it.

I’m seriously considering putting a deposit down for something like this.

I’m thinking all those people who bought those big Hummers were on to something. They can just live in that when the house is gone.

Winnebago’s stock and sales dropped. You can probably get a deal on one of those and use that both as transportation and shelter.

The only cog in the wheel for both those options is gas. They both suck it down like no tomorrow.

In the end, it won’t matter much if you rent or own. And if you stocked up on food and water, you won’t need to drive anywhere.

Sorry. This turned out to be a thread hijack.

back to Misheloff. Housing prices in SD are still high. Good discussion about it on OC’s blog
