piles of platinum
to hedge gobs of gold

at this moment people should only have great confidence in being able to enjoy the next five decades if and only if he is

(i) effectively debt free
(ii) still generating positive cash flow after expenses, for the moment
(iii) mortgage-free owner of own home, and
(iv) has enough PoPGoGSos (piles of ... gobs of ... stacks of ...) to exchange for food for the next 18,250 days at some reasonably budgeted rate of exchange, or

(v) can count on some meaningful inheritance coming his way that enables above (ii), (iii), and (iv).

any and all paper holdings are simply and just a 'nice to have option' but 'do not count on it being in the money'.

events have gone drastically wrong, and the solutions will prove absolutely fatal.
