It sounds like a bet against the house or against the system but the house always wins, always. In the collapse you imagine there will still be winners and losers. Only a transfer of wealth will occur in that kind of situation and everything will ultimately remain the same. Id suggest looking at the possibility that it doesn't go down how you imagine. Yes you have information and yes you are intelligent enough to see the outcome, but thats doesn't mean that you or I will be alive even by the time it comes to fruition, if it even does. It might not happen how you think it will if it does at all. Ask Peter Shiff, he's right about everything but the world continues to prove him wrong.
