PIMPING STOCKS

[mraynrand]

I know I've said it before, but I honestly hope ya'll aren't sticking a lot of cash into this house of cards. I may invest like a retard, but I don't invest a lot... at all. It's more for personal enjoyment. Because when they stop printing that money, the entire market is going to correct, no just this stock or that stock, and it's going to correct big time. You would have to be retarded to think this market is anything other than a political mirage. I know everyone thinks they'll see it coming THIS time, and jump off just as the engine jumps the rails, but some of you are nice people, and I don't want you to be poor.

you can't eat gold or government bonds either. So what are you investing in. You seem pretty well situated to buy farmland, animals, generators, fuel, guns, ammo, and other things that will have value once the crash comes. I was thinking of stockpiling fuel, generators, refrigerators and maybe perhaps insulin production equipment.

Balanced approach. Still use traditional investment tools, but I am prepared to lose 50% or more. True you can't eat gold, but gold has retained it's value for thousands of years and there's no reason to think the economic collapse of another festering civilization will change that. I don't have nearly enough to be a baron in the new world, but enough to make some critical trades if need be. Moving to the country was part of the plan, and allows us to be 80% self sufficient without any real stockpiling outside of common tools, including firearms and ammo. We also have the type of community here that would provide support and has an absolute wealth of practical knowledge for survival, which you simply can't buy. Speaking of which, I should also invest in more booze. I already do, but it tends to get used at an equal rate. In the case of threatening civil unrest, we would simply barricade the two ends of the road and carry on. Fresh water and food are in abundance, and we have some MRE type stuff squirreled away in case of emergency. Going forward, investing in a year's supply of 25 year shelf food (if nothing happens in 20 years I'll gladly eat it then and consider myself blessed), is a larger priority than any kind of market investment. Maybe a higher caliber rifle as well.

I'm not interested in any fueled device or fuel, as that resource will disappear almost immediately anyway.

I really think that the best case scenario is going to be a massive economic collapse - which at this point is all but unavoidable if you believe in math, followed by mainly urban unrest and destruction when government and basic services collapse, with bleed-out to the rural areas where the lawless will be put down like stray dogs until martial law restores a "benevolent dictator" to rule the democrats and other commies on the eastern seaboard while Texas leads a southern split for the folks who still cherish freedom, and the west is abandoned to Mexican and Chinese rule. Of course, after a couple decades of boarder confusion and mass population relocation, that will most likely lead to an internationally backed second war of northern aggression when the progressive regime mills through it's resources and continues to degrade and militarize while the limited government southern regime flourishes and renews relations with traditional allies, which won't be good for investing either.

Anyway, we've got more money than I would like invested in market based shit, but I'm also not counting on that money being there or being worth anything at the drop of a hat.

I imagine Skin in his 'coon hat out huntin' coyotes living off the land. Dude you're a rich white male you are golden. You will live a posh life of opulence. Bathing in milk type shit.

My investment plan going forward is to build a company. I'm looking for the 10x payback. I do okay right now but I want to make 1M annually. I'm constantly tired though so that is a drag. Tough to get by on 4-5 hours of sleep a night. I drink about 4-5 cups of coffee each day to get through but damn do I sleep hard when the time comes. Last weekend my wife let me sleep in and I slept 15 hours straight. It was glorious.

In KY, fuel and booze come from the same backyard contraption. Used to see a lot of them in the hills outside Morehead...

Math? Nothing but a fad. Believe me, in another generation or two, it will all but be forgotten.
(All kidding aside, based on the performance of our public school system, it actually might be forgotten.)

No kidding there. Common Core dictates that if you can explain how you got your wrong answer, then it is right.

PLEASE tell me that is NOT something schools actually follow?!?!

I'm so glad my kid learned actual math before they came up with this crap.
