Way ahead of you on all but one variable, and I'm working on that.

Men with balls that clank are not gone Gen.....they are patiently waiting for the next turn...Then, my friend, you will see men with true balls that clank.

Having balls that clank are worthless if you dont have a brain to decide when you can use them to their fullest advantage, going up against superior forces without organization and apathy in your troops is suicidal, I dont care how well intentioned you are....Besides..who wants to "fix" this ****ed up system anyway?....I certainly dont, I KNOW damn well its gonna fail, Im positioned in the market for that failure whenever it occurs.....and THEN and ONLY then will you hear my balls clank.....As in the fabled Phoenix that rises from the ashes, there must FIRST be DEATH BEFORE THERE CAN BE A RE-BIRTH

Look at the Muni/Monoline market for example...Did Buffet know full well that they were doomed ?....Of course he and Charlie did, did they try to fix it ?... **** no, he knows the power of the perpetrators in charge is still insurmountable, BUT he is positioned to cash in from it during the rebirth.

Im looking forward to the coming economy, no matter how bad it is. THAT IS WHEN OPPORTUNITIES are the greatest, not now. Now its all locked up by the select few selfish pigmen.

You go ahead on out to Wall Street with your sandwich board signs telling all that the "End is Near"....let us know how that works out for ya.

Me, I'll be holding my breath underwater like I am now with my shorts and puts waiting for the right time to surface again. If that time never comes because of govt stick saves or full on socialism, THEN Mad Max will come out, and Im FULLY prepared for that event also.

Great ticker Karl. Can say I started doing this since last summer, safe, cash, bullets, etc. I am also near DC and every time I get near an ear I make my empassioned speach of late a high ranking lobbyist, and the head of a politcal campaign, who has taken the message back to Iowa.

Slow but sure the word gets out, most consider it tinfoil but does not make it any less valid because truth is truth. Of late a friend who tolerated my tinfoil predictions called and was amazed at the accuracy of my predictions made in 2005.

we need a single event to bring people together on the corruptness and deceit of Wall Street and collaboration with the government. Until then, protesters are met with violence, infringement of rights and intimidation. No I don;t have fear of those things but I am not putting my life on the line while the million other sheeple sit by an...sigh. The political hacks know what we know...and they do nothing. There is zero media support for bringing transparency to the issues. What do you have to do to get attention??

Maybe when gas hits $5/gallon or more, more people will begin to ask the right questions and demand answers from those in charge. But we know how that will work out...those in charge will see it coming before the SHTF, and they will retire from their position of leadership.

Once you realize that the fundamental problem is NOT THE MARKET, but the forces behind the manipulation of the market, and other major crises in the world, then you will have the information you need to formulate a plan. The first thing you have to do is identify your target(2) specifically, and then begin the campaign.

Question............. Who will lead the men with balls?

I agree with keeping our own bank, taking on no new debt, paying cash and buying used cars and other necessities. Those are good ideas. But as a person with no balls of any kind, I don't agree that Pearl Harbor, Doolittle's Raiders, atom bombs, September 11, Afghanistan, Iraq, VN or Korea were part of the solution,
I think they were part of the problem. My two dads were career officers in the USAF and Army and I grew up on SAC bases and army posts in the western US. I learned to respect the flag, my country and my elders. But I ended up in more agreement with conscientious objectors and pacifists because money and war seemed to be tied together much more than money and peace. I respect KD's opinions on the value of war, but can't share them.

The problem with the "war is all about money" argument is that you then have to extend it to the Japanese who attacked us and the pig****ers who flew the planes into the buildings on 9/11.

When you do that, the thesis goes to **** fast, because the reality is a bit more difficult to justify.

See, you can say "but we interfered with Japanese Commerce".

Ok.

It remains, however, that the Japanese shot first.

What commerce did we interfere with that caused 9/11? We like oil and we buy it from Saudi Arabia, which banished Bin Laden? Ok, but the pig****ers still shot first.

Now if you want to make an argument that we should play Ghandi and lay in front of tanks, I respond with "**** that", because history proves that the tank will not stop - you will simply get run over.

I don't keep much money in the bank now, but I have some in a TDAmeritrade money market account. Is that used by the banks for lending out?
I also have some $ in another brokerage that I have leveraged about 10x in EUR and CAD.

thank you for your reply. I can't argue with your reasoning here in this space, but I respect your position. And I meant to say I am sorry for the loss of your friend, and for all those people in the towers.

Gen,
Don't join the pacifist in misapplying non-violence. Non-violence is only an effective measure when a weaker force is already being run over by the tank of injustice. Violence, or even the implicit 2nd amendment threat of violence, is much more effective strategy in stopping an equal or weaker opponent that is hell-bent on your destruction.

In any struggle the more organized side triumphs. At this point, the sheeple aren't organized. But, then again, their pain level isn't high enough to provide the motivation to organize. When the student is ready the teacher will appear. In this case, when the sheeple are in enough pain to care, the leader will appear. Have a little patience, they are starting to care, soon they will steal their resolve, and will be an overwhelming force for change.

I understand that paradigm well Ant but the danger with it is that frequently the "leader" that appears is someone like Adolph Hitler.

I am not suggesting but just trying to recall. Hitler actually used the bankers(most of them were Jewish) to help consolidate power.

Not trying to start an argument just looking for someone that can confirm or redirect to some writing that covers this.

Good ticker!

Already done 4 out of 6 of your suggestions, long before you sat down to write about it.
And if a hidden fireproof box and a loaded 12 gage count as a "safe", that makes 5.
