If you knew the U.S. economy was going to crash, and you have $100,000 dollars and a years notice, What would you buy? Be specific, I'm curious...  |

Yea, I'd be off to Belize too. http://www.landwatch.com/Bullet-Tre...id/302038332Quote:
near SAN IGNACIO TOWN, CAYO DISTRICTMOPAN RIVER FRONTAGEThe property has approximately 2 acres on the river, with the remainder of the parcel divided by the Bullet Tree / Calla Creek Road.The 2 acre part is cleared, apart from trees on the river bank, and has approximately 250' ft of river frontage. The remaining 23 acres is mainly cleared with some teak and mahogany trees. It is hilly and provides some good views of the surrounding countryside. It is partially fenced. The property is approximately 4 miles from Bullet Tree Village and a few miles further to the bustling tourist town of San Ignacio. NOTE: Pictures were taken in the middle of the dry season hence why everything looks dry and dusty.

Well, personally I wouldn't leave the country  But indeed I would stack up on primarily gold but also silver to deal with the crumbling stock market. |

I wouldn't leave the country either. They wouldn't be to fond of us outside after a dollar crash. If I'd known, I'd probably spend some $$ on wine, women and song. Then I'd blow the rest.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77
Dirt fishing since '72

I personally would probably find 20 acres out in Montana with a river or stream running through it. Load up on all the essentials, gold,silver,guns,bullets, nice 4X4 truck, horses, food, seed, etc. Get away from the city life.

It ain't going to happen next year, maybe the year after next...
$100K? Try add another zero maybe or two zeros at the end. But then those are the toilet paper, so buy that island fast while its worth something.

Nobody said ammo?
How about foreign currency... How about make connections with other countries for what you need.

I live in a "fortress" already so I would pick up some more guard dogs, guns and other weapons including crossbows, lots of liquor and bottled water and purifying tablets for later. Maybe canned meat, liquor (did I already mention that?), rice, molasses, seeds...yep. I'd contact a company in Cali for antibiotics. Bring it on!

How bad of an economic crash are we talking about? Would I lose my job? Would I have to invest the money right before the crash or right after the crash?
If I knew an economic crash was imminent and had to invest after the crash but I would still keep my job and ride through it (Kinda what I did the last 6 years) I would put my money into a 5 year CD, collect the measly $6,500 and then dump it all after it matures in moderate risk/return mutual funds.
If I had to invest before the crash then dumping it in gold and silver probably wouldn't be a bad choice since historically those prices kinda rise when the stock market goes down.
