In times of turmoil, in times of change, people want to know what to invest in, so that they don't lose anything.
If the govern-cement is about to debase the currency, you want to be in a foreign currency. It worked well if you were in the Weimar Mark. It worked well if you were in the Zimbabwe dollar. But, will it have any meaning when all the fiat currencies, in all countries, collapse at about the same time?
In 1929 if you were out of the stock market, or at least not heavily leveraged, you had a chance of buying up all the stock at pennies on the dollar. Buy up land for not much. Get a Rolls Royce for a stack of silver. If you feel that the stock market is going to crash similarly, should you be out… in cash? When fiat is collapsing?
Gold may be a good bet. It doesn't have a counter-party risk like so many other assets. However, what if you thought you were safe, with a bunch of gold coins in a safe deposit box at the end of 1932. How would you know that in just a few months, your gold would be confiscated? Will it happen again?
Bearer bonds used to be a thing. A place to put your money that you could just walk into the issuing bank, and redeem them. (and the accumulated interest) But, how good is bonds if the issuing bank is gone? What about govern-cement bonds? What if the govern-cement is gone. Like the USSR is now gone, so many countries may split apart, and then, who do you ask for repayment from? And, one really odd thing, what if The US (corporation) reverts back to the United States of America (country)? Then, who pays back the bonds? The Fed?
Each way to avoid loss opens one up to other ways of losing. How do you navigate this collapse of the entire financial system?
This is the question.
If we know what is coming, we can get out of the way, right?
The problem here, is that what is coming is changing EVERYTHING! And what you should be in, what assets you should hold will be changing, year to year.
Like, yes, now is the best time to buy bitcoin!
But, bitcoin will end/change before the last bitcoin is mined.
Gold is great, right now. It is going to be going up and up and up.
But, at a point it becomes the value of a pretty yellow metal. The other metals to make it durable (to make it 14k) will be more expensive.
Land is great! It can't be destroyed like other investments
But, if you can't grow food on it, it will be useless and unsellable.
What we need to prepare for is surviving the change.
On the other side, we will find ourselves in a golden age.
But, in between now and then is:
Right now, most knowledgeable investors are in cash. Liquid and ready to buy up any good deals. However, at what point should you start buying up cheap real estate? When real estate is going to keep going down?
And, it will sure be nice to have a stock pile of cash when bread costs $20 a loaf, and the price of the steak is figured out at the register and current beef prices.
But, better, would be to stock up on food now. And get to growing your own food.
For TWO REASONS.
The two worst things to survive in the near future, starvation and being poisoned. Both handled by growing your own food.
And having a year's supply of food, sealed in plastic buckets, will keep you alive while you work out how to work in the new system.
There is really only one metric to look at when selecting what is a good investment. New or old.
The old financial system is going down. No, that isn't correct… it is falling over, crumbling, turning to dust. How do you say, "it just, will cease to exist"?
ALL the fiat currency will be gone. It will happen faster than Wiemar Germany Mark. So fast that inflation won't be a thing. It will be weeks from when the FRNs have value, and when no one will accept them.
The stock market will crash, as the elite have planned, but worse, the stock market will be closed due to fraud. The stock market will have crashed because T.H.E.Y. pull the plug on the crash prevention team. Without the Fed money pouring in, there is nothing keeping the stock market up. After, people will question if they ever owned any stock.
Insurance companies will go broke, and fast. We are already seeing hurricane coverage leave Florida, and earthquake insurance leave California. Insurance companies are being gutted from the inside, AND a lot of disasters will leave the insurance companies penniless, defunct, bust, not returning your calls.
Bonds will be here today, gone tomorrow. As countries split into pieces, and govern-cements just disappear, AND the fiat currencies bonds are paid with evaporate, well, most bonds will be worthless. No one left to pay them, and nothing left to pay them with.
In all this, many places will produce gold/commodities backed currencies. And cryptos will be the new money.
Soooo, real money is coming back. Money that can't just be printed/inflated. The golden era will start.
BUT, all the old financial instruments turn to dust.
What are we preparing for? A HUGE change.
So, stay flexible. We are really going to a better time.
Buy food! It really is the best investment, and unlike all the others, you CAN eat it.
It really won't matter if you come out on top. Surviving will mean you are part of the golden age. There will be houses for everyone. And you can live on an honest day's work. Even get ahead.
Instead of thinking how you can preserve your wealth, start thinking of a really great life, where you and your closest friends have each others backs. Where you are all growing your own food, and making most of the things you need to survive.
Being rich in this future will not really be a big deal. Surviving the collapse will be a big deal.
