Participant[quote=kewp]We can easily pay off our debt if we:
A. End the war in Iraq.
B. Reverse Bush’s tax cuts for the wealthy.
C. Print money.
President Obama will take of this with no problem.

Kewp, you are extremely deceived if you think that A, B and C will fix our problems. That was probably also your basis for voting for Obama. I am not a huge fan of Obama’s policies and you fail to see that the democratic party in office would like to take on much more debt including that of GM and Ford. Unless Obama makes an effort to stay away from a socialistic government then A,B and C are far fetched ideas. I might agree with you if it wasn’t the plan to incur additional debt.
I’ve noticed lately that there are few positive people in regards to our economy and they always seem to be salesman. Kewp, I don’t know your profession, but I would assume it involves giving others a sense of false hope. Being positive is great and I have always been that way. It just starts to wear on society when they see that being the smart one will not be rewarded!
Prepare for the worst, but hope for the best! Unfortunately that is my current motto!

ParticipantI appreciate all the analysis. I agree this is somewhat of a guessing game. I will admit though that my sentiment since the last downturn is dramatically different. This housing market has affected the entire global economy throwing many of the past cyclical ideologies out the door.
I really don’t believe that we can chart anything with the stock market or real estate market at this point due to so much global involvement. I don’t think it would be far fetched to prepare for a few more catastrophic economic events in this country. Many are fear based and run off emotions therefore the chance of things getting much worse before they get better seems extremely possible.
I am blessed to be cash rich and have always lived within my means. That said I still believe those who made the poor choices in this country are the ones who will thrive. I don’t want to change the topic here, but the bailout of GM and Ford make me sick to my stomach. Another round of bailing out those who deserve to fall! When this market turns around the question might be “Why buy a home when our tax rate will be 50% on middle class income?” A small write off is great, but the liability of the investment may not be worth it. We still have to solve a massive tax problem once everything else is back on track!
Thanks again for the insight!

ParticipantI have purchased a large amount from NWTMint.com, which is Northwest Territorial Mint. They are located in Washington and have a great reputation in the industry. Currently the wait time for 100oz silver bars is 12-14 weeks for delivery. They charge a premium of somewhere around 80 cents an ounce. You may be able to find brokers out there, but be careful because you will be paying a much higher premium.
