Man I’m looking forward to the day that the Crooks don’t set the gold price. Our time is coming.

Thanks Portugeezer. It looks like Portugal will be better off than lots of countries if TSHTF. Plus you have put lots of thought into your place in the scheme of things. I wish you luck with your endeavor.

Perfect. How I see it, had the little rise for the Christmas stocking up season,  and soon it will be rolling over. Recovery….(snicker)

A little local sidenote: The big box stores (Walmart etc) have cut back on their ordering of products for the past 6 months. Plenty of bare spaces on shelves. Which to my limited knowledge of retail is a big no no in the biz. Can remember Walmart spending a lot of money hiring ‘stockers’ whose job besides putting product on the shelving also spent a great deal of time ‘facing’ the shelves. If they only had a few cans of beans, they would pull them to the front of the shelve so the store at least had  the appearance of being fully stocked. Seeing a lot of bare spaces and holes on the shelves. So either folks are buying a whole lot more ( I doubt it) or they cant get product ( a little scary thought) OR…they are not ordering in the quantities they used to. Another one of those indicators we can see for our own eyes how things are going.

You know me, of simple mind. And with a certain mistrusting slant of most figures and numbers. Seems the Baltic Dry Index is the best idea of the world’s economic health. And last time I looked, it was not hinting towards any ‘recovery’. If you can find a recent chart and post it I would appreciate it.

Go Dawgs ! Go Gators ! Go Gold !

All of the East coast will have fall out plus you have to consider nuke plans going off and other countries also hit being carried by the wind like Fukashima is doing to the west and still not resolved. Only parts of other states like places in northern Cal south Oregon west Texas I think etc. The EMPs will wipe out the grid and fuel will be hard or impossible to get. Cars may be fried anyways,  except older cars maybe. With fuel communication gone food will be scarce and clean water. For how long can’t say but too long for many unprepared if there was such a event.
