"Harold and Susan Vordos" quickly quoth:


I can't help but notice how the value of the dollar is more closely related
to the price of crude than anything.

Unfortunately, it's an inverse relationship. The higher the crude, the
lower the dollar.


I agree----we're in for a lumpy ride in the near future.

Agreed. sigh


This is the time to own "things", not money. I used to refine precious
metals. Sold my platinum WAY too soon. Who'd have ever thought it would
reach $1,400? sigh!

This is the time to be as self-sufficient as possible. Those "crazy
survivalists" weren't so crazy after all, were they?

It's time to update my bug-out bag, too, ah reckon.
