If you need a break from sorting and want to get a college degree's worth of education in about 90 minutes, head over to ChrisMartenson.com and watch Crash Course. It is very much worth your time and relates directly to what our hoarding is all about. It's one of the best websites I've found in hundreds of hours of surfing.

Hoard now and hold on!

yes, i agree...great info delivered as concisely as possible, however i was ticked off when asked to pay to see the last video (#20). but then after searching the net for about 12 seconds i found it anyway. he also tries to guilt you into donating, claiming he spent years of his life making the series? why doesn't he buy some copper company warrants or something since he knows without a doubt that metal prices are going higher.
sorry if i sound cynical, but he seems a bit disingenuous. |
metal is a claim on future human labour. let's all go get some while the getting is good, eh? |

| if you go to goldsilver.com and click on videos and then the drop down menu to crash course the whole thing is free. IMHO the course is excellent and well worth your time, and if wasn't shoveling every penny into hoarding I would support him... but will at least do it this way by suggesting others watch the course. I think he has a good message to spread, I don't think he's trying to make a buck off it, just trying to keep it going and improve on it. |

I just watched up to Chapter 11, and I am about to start Chapter 12: Debt.
All I can say is: we are all in trouble! 
I knew about parts of this separately but he does put it all together rather well. And the result is more terrifying than any Halloween horror movie!  I wanted to be smart but sometimes it is agonizing to know the truth!!!! I am not sure what to do next.
Let me finish the course today and think about it. But everyone should watch this series! Good stuff! |
Most recent book I've read: "Meltdown" by Thomas E. Woods Jr. Current book: "I.O.U.: Why Everyone Owes Everyone & No One Can Pay" by John Lanchester |

Way to go Investin Cents, I've always heard the best investment you can make in is knowledge. You're right, this is very scary stuff , quite sobering. I look around at all the people I work with, so focused on football scores, or MJ dying, or what's the latest with Britany Spears or Lindsay Lohan, and I just shake my head with pity. These lemmings have absolutely NO clue what's about to befall them. They walk around all day texting and playing video games on their damned phones.  I do like the fact that Chris formats his video lessons to very short segments that you can stop at any point and ponder. Yes, the information he is spreading is already out there, has been, but he has packaged it nicely for mass consumption, and he is constantly upgrading it. I first watched it nearly a year ago and was pleasantly surprised when I rewatched it last month and there were several improvements. Finish the course, make a list of stuff I need to get started doing, and then prioritize. You're ahead of 99% of the other people not on this forum in preparation just by being aware of the real state of affairs.  |
Hoard now and hold on!

I decided to stop about 1/2 way thru the "Peak oil" chapter - I don't think he had any more to add to my knowledge base on that, plus I have heard real recent stories about a new large oil find in the Gulf Of Mexico. But I get the gist of what he is saying overall.
What will I do different? Maybe add some more silver to my hoard via purchasing at spot from a local dealer I know. And I'll also hold off on any new debt if possible, but I was trying to do that anyway. And I'll guess I'll stop watching the financial TV channels so much since I think they are drinking the Kool-Aid that the government is selling them! Exceptions to this rule are Dr. Doom (Noel Rubini) and Nassim Taleb (author of the "Black Swan") - both of those men seem to be able to see through this smoke-screen of deceipt.
Other than that I won't do anything too radical. I still think we all have time to buy & store some more PM's for a while, but for how long? And what will happen if the US defaults on its loans? Or extends the credit bubble for itself into oblivion? What comes next? A new currency? Ours is sinking now. New government? The government can't get much worse than it is now. Maybe a new one would be better. We shall see. Good Luck all! |
