ParticipantNever forget the first commandment on the Georgia Guidestones — “Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.”
Only about 6.2 billion to go. Don’t forget to take your flu shots!

ParticipantI have a friend in Arizona that walked from his home (which had a renter in it paying him rent) as well as his wife’s home. Nothing happened other than angry letters and phone calls from the banks for over a year in both cases, meanwhile they pocketed all of their mortgage payments as well as rent from the renter. They just purchased a brand-new house with cash and jingle mailed the keys to the other two homes back to the bank. They are living mortgage-free now (he is only about 32 or so).

Participant18 years of declines ouch!
Japan unemployment 5.7%
US unemployment 20%Comparisons with Japan may not work out with the US. Japan has basically zero immigration, negative population growth, and a strong production-based economy. We have very liberal immigration, positive population growth, and a primarily service and government-based economy. I think the USSR of the 70s/80s and possibly the UK at the end of the 19th century might be better examples but even those don’t match up very well. We are in uncharted territory.

ParticipantGuess who wants to buy IMFs gold…?
Yes, let’s read the headline shall we:
China is considering buying gold being offered for sale by the International Monetary Fund, Market News International said on Monday, citing two unnamed government sources, but the report could not immediately be confirmed.
China IS CONSIDERING…citing two UNNAMED GOVERNMENT SOURCES…COULD NOT IMMEDIATELY BE CONFIRMED.
This article is content-free. Sounds to me like a sheep dog barking at the herd and getting them to run into a pen.
I’m not saying that gold isn’t going up or that there aren’t good reasons for it to do so, I’m just saying that this article sounds like hype intended to stir interest among a group of investors to push it that way.
Of course this is not investment advice, take it as you wish…
