The Great Depression will start for me tomorrow night if the Cowboys lose to the Packers.
I'm pretty confident that will be avoided though.

And do you think the Bureau is releasing accurate info? Come on now. And things can change overnight CJ...the stock market is on life support right now and WILL CRASH within the next several months...its just a matter of when.

And don't forget the Lehman Bros.
How many are going to start pulling all their money out of their bank accounts? There's a bank down here (Wachovia) that I "used" to have that is closing due to this.

Yeah, there are bank runs already going on across the country. Of course, the MSM isnt reporting any of this. People are figuring out what is going on and taking any action they can.

Most write offs of bad loans have already taken place. Now it's just simply a metter of consumer and banking confidence. Banks have tightened credit up, which hurts people who want to start new businesses and need capital. People like you are scared, and so am I.
It's hitting the commercial banking system in the form of people pulling their money.

hope you guys got plenty of canned goods,and guns,ammo.

Well, I'm with the safest bank the country and I'm still very concerned. This is sheer madness. No bank is safe.
-

Pretty much.

What part of the country do you live LL?
-
ah i found it. wachovia closing 5% of banks in FL. They're everywhere in ft meyrs and naples. cannibalizing each other, and usually empty.
-
The depression never happened. ;)
-
If you put more than 100k in any account, you are a jackass. Don't see why anyone should be concerned with less than that amout because IT'S INSURED. ::)
Getting concerned over little amounts and pulling makes things 10x worse.
-
yeah....all you idiots run out....pull your money....stock up the pantry....& guard it with your glock
::)
-

I would assume statewide Rob. Better check with you bank, or better yet pull your money out and put it in a larger bank. I'll try and research it.

Im makin great $ now.but if you think because of that you or I are Ok. that will be your downfall.

You are the man with the most green toilet paper when the dollar dies :)
-
yeah, i'm doing better than I have in my life, but i'm working harder too.
A few family and freiends are out of work. There's always work, but people who are used to just showing up at a job and getting a check are at risk. People who go out and kick ass on their own, see a lot of opportunities in tough times.
-

I live in South Florida, Relentless.

That means nothing if the paper money is worthless.

You mean like government workers?
Think any of them will get laid off?

Whichever man gets into office will have some sweeping govt job cuts.
They can't admit it now, or govt voters will vote against them to keep work. Hell, I'd vote for that unprepared nutjob palin tomorrow if Obama promised to fire me lol...
Neither admits it now, but both will do so, for the very least so the economy doesn't cash on their watch, and leave them that legacy.

If I were in charge, that *would* be my campaign platform...and the key would be to get everyone else in the U.S. to see how those lazy, overpaid government workers are a burden on the system. 50% reduction in the federal workforce over 10 years...that's the 'New Deal' we need asap.

the moment either guy says "yeah, we have to cut 10% of govt spending", you'll have the other side running nonstop ads about it. Every mailman and DMV worker in the nation will change votes. they always deny specific spending cuts
-
for me it's you, honey :)
-
of all people on getbig i think 240 is the one i'd hate to get stuck with in an elevator with the most
I'd shoot my way out of the elevator. Ricocets can suck.

i'm old and secure

think it will really happen? or is this another conspiricy type idea
-
I am glad I have more options than the states. :)
-
we bailed out the SLs and it was more $ back then (in today's dollars).
We'll be fine. China did their public bitching about it. Long as nobody bombs iran, and china doesn't drop dollar, we're fine.
-

I'd prepare 4 the worst ,hope 4 the best.

Conspiracy theory is a poor term given to those who seek TRUTH through all of the lies. If you haven't researched the history of governments and don't read up on world events, you don't really have much of a clue. If you choose to be apathetic, great! Just be prepared to pay a very heavy price. YOU WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE NOT FOR WHAT YOU KNOW, BUT FOR WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW.

China just got a huge contract to develop an oil field in Iraq.
American soldiers are dying, and we're making sure the Chinese get their cut.
Hmm...what percentage of the foot soldiers in Bush's was are Chinese?

If you actually believe the FDIC has enough money to bail out people you're a jackass. The government just had to make an emergency injection of cash into the FDIC. It's been operating at below capacity for a while now. Don't rely on the FDIC to bail out the billions and billions of dollars sitting in banks.

And when Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. implement the Amero gold will come crashing down. There is NO safe investment right now except paying off your debt, investing in a food storage system, buying land if you have that kind of money, and investing in guns and ammo. Everything else is pointless right now and will be for a good while. Until the smoke clears I wouldn't recommend anyone invest in anything. There are as many gold charlatans out there as anyone.
P.S. if you have the ability to stockpile gasoline and oil you will be that much ahead of the game when the shit hits the fan in the next 6 months.

You're right about gas, oil, food, and land (and the necessity of guns to protect what it rightfully yours), but why would anyone pay off debt right now and deplete their cash reserves (even if that cash might be worthless a year from now lol)?
Gold is still very good, but ONLY if you have it in hand. Screw a broker.
The Mormons are ready on the food storage front. I highly suggest that everyone else join the program, too.
-
Yeah I'm working on mine right now. Thankfully I found this place........www.mredepo t.com
They have ANYTHING you could need. Canned bacon? LOL. Moutain House also has some very good freeze dried food products in a #10 can. I bought several cases of Military MRE's and they are VERY tasty!

My stepmother worked at Fannie Mae for 16 years before she was basically ushered out at age 50. She was a senior VP and was politely let go in favor of someone younger and willing to work for a lower salary. However, they offered her a sweet severance package of a full year's salary upfront with additional stock options to retire early.
I mildly suggested at the time that she should cash out the Fannie stocks and reinvest them in long term tech stocks like IBM, Apple, and Goggle. This was 1.5 years ago. I work for a prime mortgage broker(nothing like a sub-prime shit lender that started all of this) and I saw the writing on the wall with Fannie long ago.
Think she should have listened? Her stocks aren't worth dick now since the government takeover. I think Fannie is worth $4 a share now.

And if China (and others) drop(s) the dollar, what then Master Rob?

Right on the money!! These are words of wisdom....

Why don't you stop being a fucking prick and research some of this stuff on your own! Many people responding in this thread have done their homework, so stop acting like a sheeple and figure this out for yourself. If you want to act like cattle that needs to be led to water, keep doing whatever you're doing and don't worry about voices such as ours.

exactly...Some guys act like its our dutie to convince them....Hell I could care less if they prepare themselves or not..I got plenty of ammo for the fools that can't read the writing on the wall.

I don't have time to waste in getting ready for the inevitable. It's not a matter of if, but when. I moved out of LA back to Austin, TX so I could be closer to rural areas whenever this whole thing explodes. If someone wants to live within their realities and refuse to examine the rest of the world around them, fine! Just don't whine or bang on my front door when you need help.

I feel Texas would be one hell of a place to be when the shit hit the fan. Unfortunately, I'm stuck an hour from LA. Probably the worst fucking place to be if anything big is going to happen.

The "huge" Chinese oil deal with Iraq is a paltry 3 billion dollars and is the continuation of a deal from the Saddam era. The big oil producers etc will get contracts worth much much more than that. Hell, Iraq hasn't even been properly surveyed with current technology in decades.

Does the Pope sh&% in the woods?! ;D
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst....

yeah....all you idiots run out....pull your money....stock up the pantry....& guard it with your glock
If it comes down to that, and the SHTF, you best have something beyond a Glock pistol. Never bring a handgun to a gun fight if you can avoid it. ;)
