No, let's be patient and study the situation. Anything this crazy must provide opportunities,

Of course, I agree that it's outrageous.

But at least so far no one is saying, "Anyone who has no debt is un-American and must be shot."

OK, here's what I in fact have already done. Transfer as many assets as possible to Canada. The banks are sound (so far); they run a budget surplus; and they run a trade surplus. Their currency is terribly undervalued.

If I were younger and more active, I would buy a house in Canada right now and establish some sort of residency, if not citizenship.

Just today, the Canadian dollar appreciated over 5% against the $USD.

Put a lot of assets into gold in a safe deposit box in Canada, if not Swizerland.

Buy Canadian gold and uranium mining stocks.

Buy Canadian Oil Sands Trust.

I already did this with the bear market funds that I liquidated. I already have a 30% gain, but I am not about to sell.
