We are in big trouble. The perfect storm for economic disaster is nearly fully formed. Having seen and planned for it I shouldn't be worried. Unfortunately I know that crime rates, especially for violent crime, are about to go through the roof. yep....this is really bad stuff i posted last month as the fuel prices were ratcheting up that i expect to see a collapse in small business and the associated job losses... if that trucking firm cannot pass the costs directly on to his customer i don't see how they can survive $5/gal. diesel for very long we've been warned, 3 airlines BK, fedex and ups warning, and yet the transport index barely off an all time high? i believe this gets ugly fast btw, i actually saw a guy riding a small motorcycle in a tie and business slacks with a laptop computer slung over his shoulder...very unusual here...expect to see more such sights <ng>

'The perfect storm for economic disaster is nearly fully formed. Having seen and planned for it I shouldn't be worried. Unfortunately I know that crime rates, especially for violent crime, are about to go through the roof.' How to prepare for stagflation or hyperinflation? Certainly cash ain't going to be king..maybe it worked to some extent in 2005-07 if only relative to drops in home prices, pleasing the deflationist Mish types to no end and declaring 'victory' on a daily basis... I thought junior gold miners were suppossed to be the ultimate play? I agree the squeeze on the bottom right now is horrendous..then they want to prop up housing and thus triple the costs of everything in another decade on the back end..yet the 'suits' cheer increases in homebuilding permits when that is the last thing we need and we all know the current dynamics are going to put homebuilding in depression for years to come..
