RE: Investors Already Know - bigpaul - 29 November 2012
never mind silver or gold or money, invest in FOOD, people always need to eat!!

I am doing that each week it may only be a couple of tins or bags of cheap rice etc but that is a top priority as is water.

I know we all have different ways of preparing, but Gold etc really doesn't do it for me and I would prefer to have food stuffs that are unedible to anyone ran sacking it. Your average Sheeple will not know what to do with dried lentils and black eyed beans.
The Vietcong had the right idea, a sling full of rice and whatever they could find along the way. People will automatically take things of value even if the situation has made them value-less. I see preppers storing booze...why? to trade? You may just find that the people you trade with just get drunk and come back and take what they want and do you over for getting in their way.Unfortunately with the rule of law gone the darker side of mankind will surface as it did in 1930's Germany and what did we get from that era, a man that would bring us into a massive war that killed and injured millions.

i couldnt agree more Sealdriver, silver and gold dosent do it for me either, but a larder full of food does.alcohol is not one of my preps, having not drunk for 13 years but i can see the point of having a small bottle of spirit for medicinal uses only.

Interesting point Big Paul,
I have 5 litres of Surgical Spirit for wounds, but I have also put my money into White Vinegar, Hydrogen Peroxide, Soda Crystals and Bicarbonate Of Soda that have a million and one uses and your average person would see them as useless. Hidden in plain site!

If we are in it, we're actually at the top of the iceberg, above water. There's still a VERY long way down until the bottom!
Has anyone considered that a depression won't turn atomic?
I know it's something VERY intimidating. Having said that, it is something very regular. Never in the past has a depression caused 2 years, or even 6 months, of WROL (Without Rule of Law). Infact, as much as I'm not a Nazi, it gave rise to a much heavier rule of law (by a tyrant/evil-c**t/psycho/hero, depending on your view point).
I really don't see the world collapsing through a depression. It didn't in the past, and it shouldn't right now. If I were to put a percentage on the next depression leading to a total collapse of society, I'd pull out numbers below 20%. Could it lead to a world war? Well......no. There have been 2 world wars, but throughout history, there have been MANY depressions. I'd say the last world war and the depression were RARE to say the least. In 30 depressions, one has been the precursor for a World War! Again, if playing the numbers, I'd say there is too much fracturing of governments and generalisation of states, to lead to a world war. There are not enough super-powers around for a world war to occur. Think about it, who would take on NATO and the US?

It doesnt need to my hairy little cornflake, currently INFLATION is much higher than saving account INTEREST RATES, that means you cash in the bank is losing value every day. The £100 pounds you deposited a month ago with now only buy £95 worth of stuff, by the end of the year it will be worth even less. But FOOD and FUEL only go up in price, so if you convert your withering cash into food you actually inflation proof your grocery shopping for as long as that grub lasts.

The world has never been so connected in the past. We had civilizations that did not know of one and other, and they collapsed. We had civilizations that knew of each other and they collapsed.
It was long term depression that caused the end of the Western Roman empire, as it was poor external trade causing a long term depression that lead to the end of the Harappan culture in North Western India. Ancient Chinese civilizations came and went as emperors emptied their treasuries and productivity was bled white with taxes to try and hold empires together.
There have been many, many more.
