Thats why you invest in international stocks, with 30% in bullion or slave labor......

Buy gold
-
buy gold? ok they give a piece of paper that says you own gold. funny thing is the gold doesnt exist and your piece of paper is as worthless as the dollar you bought it with.
so wtf kind of stupid logic is that?

Too many chromosones?
Gold (not paper) is a wise, solid investment

I hearing Waffle House through the grapevine.

Honestly, I am investing in ecological clean up products.....

IMHO: People keep telling people to buy gold. I understand the logic, but feel that it might not be the best strategy for everyone. Unless you have the means to protect it during times of crisis/national collapse, it will either be taken by force or governmental decree. A little gold is okay, but putting all you own into it because of its value is risky as well.

I'm heavy in locks and barrels.

There aren't any really good investment options right now. Some say gold will be $1500 by 2011, others say $1000. The real problem is that right now there is so much government intervention in the markets that none of the prices are "real." And I'm not necessarily against the government getting into the markets; the hard part is getting out at the right time under the right conditions/rates. The price/earnings ratios are through the roof right now and stocks don't look great. We had one of the original Dow theorists come out and say the country will be unrecognizable in a year. The Euro is having some major issues, but so are a a bunch of states. Some of the pension problems out there are incredibly bad; almost a guaranteed federal bailout. There's a lot of volatility going on now and no real great strategies. I think 2010-2020 is going to suck as bad as 2000-2010.

If I had the $ I'd buy some good property with farmland or out in the mountains.
What would do with this BDB?
-
he would use the land to live. raising food, cultivating, ect. and the guys who bought gold will realize that cant eat gold, will be the ones left holding the bag of tricks you money grubbers keep falling for.

The problem with our culture and economy is that we live off of bubbles. Bubbles are like playing hot potato. Someone (usually the last one to get in on it) will be left holding the bag.
Epic_Alien has an idea. Land, food, other barter, and the will and means to protect it are the only things that will have worth in a SHTF scenario.
Whether it happens or not remains to be seen. My gut says a long depression is more likely than full-on hell on earth Mad Max.
Playing with stocks is like a more complex version of gambling. So, if you're gonna play the market, don't go in half-a$$ed and know you've a good chance of getting your ass handed back to you.

Finally a thread with some substance.

what good is gold when your hungry? its a piece of metal. will you keep it a box and admire it?
-
SOME gold isn't bad, I suppose. Everything in moderation. It's just the all or nothing people that drive me mad with the incessant talk of "Gold is god!" All having loads of gold will do is make you a bigger target.

I didn't know we were taking in consideration doomsday events when contemplating investment ideas.... ::)

The long term investment in gold isn't worth a shit.

i watched your video.
if you and i were in the desert. on only our feet to travel with no weapons, and with nothing but baron desert for 200 miles in each direction. and i had a backpack of mre meals. and you had a bar of gold.
do you think i would be interested in a trade with you?

Since 1970 gold has increase in value by 3200%
Since 1970 the Dow Jones Index has increased in value by 1200% (not including dividends)
Since 1970 real estate in the US has increased by 1000%
Your comment doesn't match with reality.
The above chart shows that the DOW has been in a bear market with respect to gold for the past 10 years, going by the trend the DOW will be in a bear market for the next 10 years or so.
Even the goldprice is manipulated.
-
This is a far fetched scenario. In you example there would probably be no exchange as the entire economy contains just two people and two goods, therefore no need for a currency. In a real economy like in the video, what happens when the currency system fails is that an alternate currency is used, and for some reason people always return to gold as something that has some sort of value and can be trusted.
its about as far fetched as the stock market and the numbers behind it

I think Disturbia was once discussing penny stocks on this board.
Dis, did you ever follow through and purchase any?
Anyone ever make a killing with penny stocks?
