"We could go in on boats like the Vikings."

Ah, ah, ah... aaaah
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.

RBC is not all that stable now...

Just saying...

[Thrownatbirth]

ESOP retirement accounts seem pretty safe as long as your company does well and the CFO isn’t a knucklehead.

[Eva]

We could go in on boats like the Vikings. ....or more recently, the rum runners, or you could always try to jump the ditch, at least someplace where they don't have cameras.

Canada may not be any safer than the US, I'm afraid. According to Harvard economic historian Niall Ferguson:

Canada is [considered] a winner because its banks are less leveraged, bank regulation here has been tighter, because its housing market hasn't been in a bubble quite the same way. It's tempting to conclude from that ... that Canada will be less hard hit in the crisis than the United States. But that is unfortunately wrong. Because this is a very unfair crisis. The epicentre is the United States, but the rest of the world, and particularly America's trading partners, will get hit harder than the U.S.”

"why don’t 50+ million of us, along with some weapons, just make a little road trip up to Canada? They’ve got plenty of space up there, don’t they? The Canadian Rockies can’t be all that different from the Colorado Rockies."

Why is it always - "run away, run away!"?

I'm not giving away the US and that includes the coasts. How much blood it takes is up to the left.

You want the locus of the investment to be in the head office of the bank. That way whatever regulatory measures taken by the US government do not effect your investment. So bearer bonds or preferred shares in the bank are the way to go.

That way you have a US door to retrieve your money,and a short trip to Canada to retrieve it if things go bust here.( you declare your earnings on the way back if your negotiable instrument is 10,000 dollars or more)Thats a lot better than an account in a US bank which is insured by FDIC, which is now almost broke compared to potential liability on the FDIC. They will run out of money
to pay claims.

Other folks are doing the same with the Philippines National Bank, which is stable.( Branches on the West Coast)

You continue to file US taxes on interest earned.

And you sleep at night. There is nothing illegal about it.

Resources, Good Luck:

You have to have a Canadian Social Insurance number to open a resident canadian Bank Account.

However there are ways to securely invest your money through a Canadian branch Bank here in the USA,and it will remain a lot safer than in ANY US Bank. THey are rock solid, having already paid off all of their derivative bad paper.

Scotia Bank , Royal Bank of Canada, all have on line presence, but its better to attend a branch in person, open an account and get your money into a safe position.

Gold, ammo, and hierloom seeds.

[genghis]

I bought a house in palmdale cal
3/1 1100 sq ft build in 1955 nice quiet street two blocks from a 4000 student high school and a junior high.
It sold for 200k in 05, i got it for 52 cash
it is rented out at 800/month
I am trying to buy 3 or 4 more
when inflation hits, i am good to go.
Plenty of arms, no doubt

[Candor7]

Harvard?

Well I can tell you that Canadian Banks have been doing business next to the USA for a very long time. The giant farts, they get sh!t on, and I assure you they know what they are doing.

How many banks in Canada failed in the 1929 crash?

Zero. Nada.

Tell that to Niall Ferguson.

Oh Canada had it rough, but no one lost any money they had in a bank.

[Lee N. Field]

Ammo, and lots of it.

I was just going to say that.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Obama's goal is to destroy the wealth of the so called "ruling class" of America, and then drive them out of the country if he can.

He is a fool. He thinks that there is no cause and effect to taxing. If the 'Rats are allowed to pass the zero's budgets or anything that even resembles them, the country is screwed. He will cause a rebellion among the producers who will simply stop producing.

[OpeEdMunkey]

How about running in circles, screaming and shouting? Should I do that too?

Well, that's what the navy would suggest. When unsure, when in doubt...

[OpeEdMunkey]

I started by getting laid off.

[umgud]

Thanks.

[April Lexington]

I’m not sure we’d be stopping to ask permission...

[Candor7]

Check to see if its head office is in Toronto. It may be a separate bank altogether. What you want is to buy bearer bonds registered at the Banks Head Offices in Canada, or preferred shares in the bank, which can be redeemed in Canada as well as the USA.

[Candor7]

You, sir, are thinking ahead.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

As are you. Birds somewhat of a feather.

I have tried to help everyone on this thread you created , as much as possible.
