That way, if you can't head for the hills, you can stand your ground with a group to support you.
Gold is vibrating, +/- a couple of bucks, at the highest rate ever.
5% is not to terrible, dow futures holding steady at -281, gold holding at 1700 so maybe tomorrow will just be a bad day and not the end of the world as we know it. But then there is still Europe to come on line, oh well.
You’re already “in the hills”. I’m in the Houston metro area. Only 30 miles from downtown.
Good advice.
mylife, at least I’m on one of the “good” sides of town.
Good idea, I am going shopping tomorrow too.
What I mean is not near Sheila Jackson Lee’s district.
Naw, I am in the plains, but the hills are just 200 mi away in Arkansee
Yep. Back up over $1702
I’ve got to go to bed. Maybe wake up in the morning and this will have all been a bad dream.
Seoul Composite is getting hammered down 7.5%
Rural Arkansas is where I was raised. That’s where I plan on running to one day soon. If travel isn’t restricted.

What he’s saying is you need a way to defend it if you own it. ammo
BTW the plains here are under extreme duress.
The drought is killing the ranchers. They cant afford to feed the cows so they are selling them off for slaughter.
Thats going to drive the price of beef down for a while temporarily.
I am going to buy a load of tinned beef when that happens.
I suspect commodities will just go higher and higher.
Crops are failing all over the place
Hay is $80 a roll
True, the markets are reacting to fear of a recession in the USA and a possible collapse of banking in Europe. I am very curious what the European markets are going to do. Asia except for depending on exports is in pretty good shape. USA except for recession is in OK shape, Europe not so much.
Last Sunday the wife and I took a little country drive. Went to Bryan/College Station, then over to Caldwell then back to Houston. Saw one pasture with cattle in it. Lots of hay. All the fields are parched. 97% of Texas is in extreme drought conditions.
