But should I sell all my shares thats the question I need to know???

How much further will markets fall? - MoneyWeek



Overlay US stocks to Jap stocks and shift 11 years and that's what you see.

Now what do you think?

According to the Argentina article someone posted the other month, small gold coins were useful, IIRC. A packet of flour or dried milk probably more useful still.

I've got a pot full of Gold sovs. I reckon each one might buy a tin of beans later.

Oooh look, what a nice graph. Are we back on to the gambler's fallacy again?

Ah well, with a population of 70+ million hungry people on the rampage, starvation will probably not be the biggest cause of death anyway.

Part of my hedge are shares in oil exploration/producers. Ironically most have been hammered.

Problem with shares is all they are is a way of buying now a proportion of the future profitability of a company. Not much use in a Mad Max scenario really, hence why they will lose all their value soon.

Buy tin foil to make hats.

I have box hedges in the front garden and beech at the back. They're fine.

For instance I bought 1kg rice (1160 Calories) for about 40p and 1.5kg flour* (3490 Calories) for 52p the other day. Must be loss leaders surely. That's 4 days Calories for £1. Also Sainsbury are selling packs of 5 Snickers (1300 Calories) for £1. I always snap those up when they appear.

1KG of dry rice is nearer 3700 Calories - Booooomed

On the packet, it says...per 100g: Energy 494kJ, 116kcal.

Can't see any sawdust in there.
