TSL, Listening to Jim Puplava this weekend, one of his recommendations on a defensive portfolio was energy and energy trusts, in addition to gold, PM stocks, foreign currencies and bonds. I hope their right. My friend is a financial advisor, I asked him what he sells his clients as a 'financial collapse' portfolio, he says Gov't of Canada bonds, trusts. I then asked him what he would do, he says a cabin in the wilderness, dried food and a shotgun. I guess his own portfolio doesn't generate as much commissions, and it made me think of how any financial advisor (including Puplava) is going to answer that. I don't think my wife will let me store barrels of light sweet crude in the carport but the thought has crossed my mind. Contango does that to you. D
