Fed related publication warns of: http://www.frbsf.org/economic-research/publications/economic-letter/2014/december/baby-boomers-retirement-stocks-aging/
Where to invest, then?
Yeah, no retires have even liquidated their assets before.
I’m sure nobody did after 2008 either...
Some of these articles are a real hoot.
Workable survivable farmland, and boxes of .308 Winchester rounds, and 22 LR. Alternate currency— food, ammo, survival.
See Argentina, round 2.
It’s like the Boomer generation is going to take another hit. Why not? I’ve been told for the last forty years that I and others of my generation are responsible for everything that goes wrong.
On the other hand I saw this several years ago and did my best to get out of the Stocks, 401(k)s and all. As we have all heard before if you can’t touch it, protect or eat it, etc. it isn’t really yours. Sort of like the difference between gold certificates and the actual gold coins in your hands, eh?
But it requires buyers......unemployed, underemployed and fearful of becoming unemployed people don’t buy stocks.
If I were going to get into Gold, I wouldn’t even consider having a “Gold Certificate”. lol
That ain’t Gold. (they can burn in a fire too)
I would want REAL Gold, IN HAND. (or safe)
Yeah, because only Americans invest in stocks.
Seriously, it’s a global market. Chinese people investing for their retirement will buy them.
Yup. Now is a good time to be fully invested—in lead.
When I was in college in the mid 50s I was taught that 7 times earnings was an investment and 10 times earnings was speculation and today there isn't any stock with any equity left in it due to pension and health care monthly input by the unions.
Oh,I hope this is a zot!
Even solid gold in fort knox is not necessarily safe. Ask the Germans (and others).
[actually, i recently read that Venezuela got some of its NY gold back into the borders of their paradise]

My point exactly.
The stocks, bonds and annuities were fed for decades by the 401(k)funds that were being pumped in for every month as the 401(k)s really had nowhere else to put ‘your’ money as an investment. Now the ‘investors’ are being downsized right and left and they want/need their money. Taking away the money decreases the values in all of those things that were ‘invested’ in.
It’s like a Ponzi scheme in a way, first-in and the first-out make money and a profit. The late-comers are the ones who get screwed.
This business about “lead”, calibers, arms assortments, etc. gets a little tiresome. It is one thing to take to precautions, quite another to enthusiastically(?) prepare for an imaginary cataclysmic shooting war. I am not saying it can’t happen but to think that safety lies in bravado seems a bit unrealistic and something that if such preparation is one’s cup of tea, needs to be kept to oneself.
Sounds like an excuse for the impending collapse...prepare accordingly.
The elits have already taken their investments etc. overseas as well as obtaining visa’s and other properites. Everything is moving East so too those who can afford to boogy to another nation as those are being targeted to being built up and central to the NWO.
The East is where it’s happening and will be in the future. Tough of course we’ll still have things happening here but no longer central to how things go i the EAst.
The fact Obama wasn’t in Paris at that Historical event, and nobody in the EU leadership cared one way or another, should speak volumes to us that we are and will be loosing our impact abroad.
I get all my kook articles at Zero Hedge.
Well you summed it up quite well.
However, distrust is also a major player here.
The widespread distrust of banks, Wall Street and the all consuming, corrupt and controlling U.S. government, is clearly growing and escalating.
Whoever wrote this article obviously lives inside a vacuum and has no relationship to the normal world and the cycle of reality.
I don’t know about all that Dale. 1,000 worth of Apple in 1980 might be worth a bit.
Didn’t we hear GWBush has a big farm in Paraguay? Is there a link to that or is it urban myth?
