If things continue this way, St. Pats day will be remembered as the crash day. Hope for better but with the Asian markets down 2-5%, it is hard to imagine a good day tomorrow.

Hang on to it! That dime is worth about 1.50 for the silver melt value.
Soon, that thin dime might buy you a gallon of gas.
...by 2157. Count on it.
A quarter already will. Just like it did in 1959.
Last night’s news had a story on folks selling their gold stuff to the gold and coin dealers to buy gas. One gal had a coin from her grandma that she sold so she could pay her rent.

I’m long on tar. Oh and feathers too.
As the price of gold rises and the price of real estate collapses, in a few years a roll of 20 one-ounce gold coins will buy you a house free and clear.
If you can keep your head when all those about you are losing theirs ... then you don't understand the situation!
Slaughter in the streets...the smell of blood everywhere.
Cash is the only place to be...where's yours?
People cash in hoards of change when they are having tough times, and often do not look for the silver. Either that, or someone's coin collection got raided for change...
I collected coins when I was a kid. I would buy rolls from banks occasionally just to look through them. I found an essentially uncurculated 1892 New Orleans Barber Half in a roll one time. I still have it. Even back then in the ‘60’s it had to have been stolen from someones collection and spent for face value.
I'm already up 215%. Tomorrow will just be icing on the cake!
Tomorrow will just be one sprinkle on the icing. The next few years will be the icing. And it’s a big cake.
Those things will be in high demand soon. Or at least they ought to be.
There’s places you can buy a house free and clear for 5K right now!
You’d have to fix the boarded up non-windows, get used to the sounds of gunfire at 3:19 AM, and learn to love the smell of crack being cooked, but they’re out there!
Everyone looked at me like I was nuts when I prepared for Y2K. The generator and wood stove have been put to good use for the several long power outages we have had since then, and the habit of keeping lots of extra food on the shelves gives peace of mind (and easy cooking on the wood stove with no trips to the store when the wheather is bad and their power is also out).
And the gold coins I bought when it was at $200/oz are also looking like a not-too-stupid insurance policy.
To: Travis McGee Well, I guess can start thinking about calling it the "St. Patrick's Day Massacre of 2008" (Quote Source: AmericanInTokyo), even before we officially move into 17 March in the states. There may well be LOTS of reasons to go for many, many Guinness Beer's tomorrow night in watering holes all over the fruited plain come quittin' time (maybe even before. 70 posted on 03/16/2008 10:37:23 PM EDT by AmericanInTokyo (The GOP serves a huge cr*p sandwich every 4 years to Conservatives, & sez "shut up!, no choice!")
Let’s hope we don’t start to think of the
“Great Depression” as the great depression.
As opposed to the current depression, which is the really, really, really sh*tty depression!
I work for a major bank. I have a feeling the bars around our HQ will be filled with a lot of employees by 4pm, but not because they are showing off their irish pride. Our stock has taken a beating for many months now, and I’m sure tomorrow, its going to be killed.
