ParticipantWhat does the untrained eye look for to know when the fed/govt monetizes the debt or not. Is there a specific action or buzz word that means that the fed is running the printers 24/7?

March 21, 2008 at 1:08 PM in reply to: What am I missing? Is that a train coming at me or am I Chicken Little? #174789ParticipantDrunkle, thank you. This is the type of exchange I was hoping for. While not a J6P I am hard pressed to see the potential silver linings and bright future when I am looking at some of the same current day situations you mentioned (home prices, credit, jobs, consumer confid, etc).
When it comes down to it, I am a little fish that is smart enough to know a storm is brewing. I just don’t know how bad or how safe my position really is.
By little fish, I mean I am not an active investor. I have $100K in a 401K (employee program) and it is managed by a firm (Principal). No real choice, just shares of their canned portfolios. I have a house bought in ’98 for $250K on a 6.5% 30yr fixed in a nice part of town that allows me salty sea breezes and nightly sea world fireworks. East of I5 but only by a few blocks. A $100K second on a variable spend on some fixups and a couple frivolous vacations.
So I sit here and wonder just how bad it will be and which demographic will get stung the hardest.

As for the rest, I really appreciate your replies.
Especially Johnny. From where I am sitting things look really dark.
As for the foxhole being the backyard.. Unless you are a member of the neighborhood appearance committee and do not want me to detract from my home’s appearance it would be a tactical error to have your foxhole in back. A foxhole is a protected defensive position from which to repel or destroy an advancing enemy force. (can you tell what I did before I was a technologist?) Being the front yard would allow you to identify and engage a hostile force, destroy them and if need be lay down a final protective fire to protect home and family. =)
(if things do collapse my house wouldn’t be a good choice for a place to pillage)
