Interesting. I’m hoping this article gets some attention from FR’s investment gurus.
Invest now in people.
This is likely to be a long, hard pull.
The currency could indeed collapse if things continue on the current course.
I suggest a different use of your money.
Help young couples get started.
Work to make sure that somehow those you know who can’t find work have a roof over their heads.
If you have adult children out of work, now is not the time for tough love.
Involve yourself in churches and charities.
How many stories have you read about people who did this during the depression of the thirties? Was it worth doing?
If you believe their analysis then go into debt. After all, their premise is that the government is so far in debt that the only way forward is to depreciate the dollar so that they can pay off the debt with worthless money.
Okay, suppose you believe this to be true. You do not need to buy gold or the author's investment fund to benefit from this knowledge. All you need to do is go into debt like the government. You should take on debt in exchange for useful things. Then when the author's prediction comes true you can pay off with the debt with worthless dollars.
Does the above sound attractive to you?
Do you want to be deep in debt right now?
Would that make you feel comfortable?
Are you certain enough of your estimate of the timing of the inevitable collapse to take on a big debt load right now?
Unless you can answer the above questions with: yes, YES, YES!! and HELL YES! then I would suggest thinking very carefully before investing your money in what the author is selling.
