An interesting read Sledge & Co.
I thought in my heart of hearts that the Cyprus haircut event was a test and it looks like others do too.
In all honesty what saddletramp wrote we have all been saying as Crudos wrote. BUT, it was nice to read something that put it all in perspective - Past, current and then the future.
Listen, we all know it is going to come. What we have to be prepared for is what form of government will replace the existing one. This to me is more scary than the collapse of our currency.
On a closing note: I was corresponding with someone on this forum back in Feb/Mar and my prediction was Q3 or Q4 of this year too. My reasoning's were:
> The fed will be 100 years old this year, and
> More important, if you control the food you control the people. Fall would not be a time to start a garden if you were hungry.
Can you imagine the rights you would give up to feed your family? Heat your house in the winter? No amount of money will
buy you food or heat your house because of ramped inflation - Only the government can do that.
Stay tuned...
