  1. The perfect storm model is progressing nicely. Better start buying seed now if you don’t have a stockpile. Food prices should skyrocket once the trigger is pulled on all these markets. Arable land is going to be a premium, unless you have cash.

  2. “From Buenos Aires To Nashville”
    Chasing yield is dumb. Its a very basic premise of investing. These Money “Managers” should know better. One thing is for sure, they got paid regardless.

  3. “cashless society”

    stopped by a “micro-mini mart” at work, stood there with money in my hand and tried to buy a sandwich. the machine wouldn’t take money, wouldn’t respond at all. a bystander explained to me that I had to sign up and register my account and get my picture taken, and then the machine would recognize my face and whatever I picked up and charge my account accordingly.

    tried to wash my hands in a bathroom, the faucet was on some kind of infra-red switch – wave your hand under it, the water turns on. couldn’t get it to work. I stood there dancing in front of the switch trying to get it to turn on the water – no water.

    tried to get gas at a gas station, handed out a $100 bill. the attendant said, “we don’t take $100 bills.” it was all I had, so no gas. standing there with money in my hand, and couldn’t get gas.

    tried to get gas using a gas credit card. used it twice in one day, it stopped working. called the company. “we’ve detected fraudulent activity on your card, we’ve shut it down, sure we’ll reactivate it now that you’ve called.” three days, no reactivation. “we apologize for the inconvenience, we’ll reactivate it now that you’ve called.” three days, no reactivation. “we apologize for the inconvenience, we’ll reactivate it now that you’ve called.” I listened closely – artificial voice, a very very good one.

    cashless is going to be so much fun ….

  4. RE: cashless. I read recently about 35% of transactions are still done with cash (maybe I read that here). So that’s still more than one-third, a large percentage statistically. The important thing is to KEEP USING CASH, as much as possible. And use it with small and locally-owned businesses especially, because they suffer the most from credit and debit card fees, and generally prefer cash. Also … use your local, independent, community bank (icba.org to find one) frequently. Go inside, get cash, etc. They will be the last hold-outs, and maybe will continue to keep cash even when others don’t.

  5. So happy to read about JP Morgan’s concern about TARP, and the Fed’s mismanagement of our nation’s finances. I’m sure they and their execs will make a boatload while the rest of us lose our shirts.
