Greece to Leave Euro Zone on June 18: Wealth Manager

[linda22003]

I have self proclaimed experts on other forums that try to tell me the Euro is stable and will do better in the near future and distant future than the dollar, I have strongly disagreed with them.

There are a lot of people "investing" in Iraqi dinars, too.

At this point, the best long term investment strategy in the US is canned goods and ammunition.

Do you seriously believe that or are you being funny?

I ask because I take your posts seriously. If you are really stocking up on non perishables..then I should be doing the same.

I'm being somewhat funny, but preparation is always a good idea. You should have a few weeks worth of non-perishable food available, not to mention a good pistol for home defense. If things go south in Europe, then things will get chaotic globally, and the things to watch out for are interruptions in oil supplies. Stock up on batteries and have the means to store water if the utilities fail.

I have a few weeks of emergency food stored. Most is non-perishable but the rest can be stored long term. I rotate stock also. Having this is comforting to me but my wife seems to be amused by it. She will change her mind if we have to use it. Ammunition is for home protection.

If the trucks stopped rolling for one day, it would be inconvenient locally. If they stopped rolling for three days, it would be catastrophic. Natural disasters can trigger this like floods and earthquakes. Look at what a simple snowstorm can do.

Man made disasters like the Obama administration trying their best to destroy the economy is another issue. Look at energy. Oil cost is directly related to every other cost. If the truckers cannot afford to fuel their rigs, they park them.

Money supply. If it fails, who is going to deliver/stock/sell food? Who will work at the power and utility plants?

Not to scare you, just be prepared.
