However, in the short term [2 years, 20 years???] big money will be made or lost.


No doubt.



The question is:

How long does the 'short term' last?

2 years? 20?

Is it over tomorrow morning... remember, 'crashes' happen within SECONDS now... it's not like there's any warning anymore (DOW -1000 in HOW LONG last week?).

Gold is no better... absolutely controlled.

I pulled out of the Market long b4 the 'crash'... I left "money on the table"... but I saw the writing on the wall & split anyway.

My Mom.. some Friends.. lost 40 Percent in '08... 60 still left to lose.

I didn't, but I'm a bit more cautious than most in that regard.

I've got a 'bit' in Gold now.. but nothing substantial.

Zip in 'The Market' (utter scam), online bill-pay $ in the Bank *ONLY*, much cash tucked safely away (for as long as it's not assigned it's true value.. toilet paper)..

I've got GOODS... non-perishable consumables & tradables w/ real value.. but that's just me.

I don't give financial advice in any way... I just call it as I think that I see it.
