Mid-Life Crisis

Apologies George, I didn't mean to drag you off topic... anyway please do look beneath the surface on this one, its much more than a "cyclical down turn"

Best of luck to you.

Gold or silver bullion for a start (not coins/medals etc but 99.99% PURE ingots) and not bits of paper declaring your ownership but the ACTUAL stuff.....

 

weapons and ammo,,,,and alcohal,,will be worth more than gold

 

"I've always wanted to sail to the South Seas, but I can't afford it." What these men can't afford is not to go. They are enmeshed in the cancerous discipline of "security." And in the worship of security we fling our lives beneath the wheels of routine - and before we know it our lives are gone.
The years thunder by. The dreams of youth grow dim where they lie caked in dust on the shelves of patience. Before we know it the tomb is sealed. Where, then, lies the answer? In choice. Which shall it be: bankruptcy of purse or bankruptcy of life?

-Sterling Hayden (1916-1986)

All beach no water.... I wish I'd said that

 

Yes -- I'm currently making plans to escape Phoenix. My daughter, on the other hand, just moved from Alaska to be with you on Fox Island (Assuming you're in WA). Soon I'll have all water, no beach.

 

Don't let that hold you back, your posts are interesting and welcomed on my part.

Around here; when the water is bad and the roads are good the econmomy is grand.

When the water is good and the roads are bad like they are now........look out, the bottom is about to fall out.

ASSESETS.........................fewer they be every year, what market is long term safe?

 

The trouble is that if ya keep livin ya got another one coming up in your late 60s...sex, drugs, an rock n roll and maybe a Porsche will get ya thru the first mid life in your 40s...BUT what r ya supposed to do at 70??? ******, prilosec,and a new hearing aid????

Just kidding, actually its just you getting older, your always the same person all your life...
Always gotta have a dream working...
Hell, I got a 26' alaska salmon troller in Bullhead City az sitting on a trailer..dreaming of either the sea of cortez or san diego for the albacore.

if you have spare money or can liquidate some, put it into a term deposit here at 8% with one of the big banks til things cool, you will see the US dollar trending , lower, as it has been for years-that trend is set to go on.
If your obama wins, he will start reining in the military, and spending what he saves on education, thats if someone does not shoot him first
If he stays alive there is a chance for you
There is no chance if your Guv, keeps on trying control the rest of the world, eg missile (shield) in Eu.
Your econmy is 9^% owned by the Arabs now, Big money is fleeing USA Google up Jim Rodgers, he and Siros had the Quantem fund rodgers has shifted his base to China

 

Oil dropped today easing tension Iran
the whole mess , oil etc caused by your Bush, but can he,see this?
here is the us/ au trend

 

Moving targets I'm affraid...

Inflation is running higher than almost every official measure, it will erode any cash investment. The sound alternates are volatile at the moment, so its a trade you need to take with conviction and intelligence or you WILL be shaken out.

Oil is in a structural deficit, this is not the fault of any one man or government. Over the mid to long run it will stay this way, reading up on peak oil is worth the effort. We are at the end of "cheap" oil and therefore cheap energy until we settle on the replacement technologies AND pay for the transition. It WILL cost and WILL slow us down ESPECIALLY given current western world debt levels.

 

Well our mid-life crisis is to get Au$700,000 for our 4 br +office mini McMansion in Sunnybank Hills, Brisbane - Time to move on and do other things - anyone interested?
