What would you do?

[randym431]

Just wondering...
Everyone on fox is telling us the economy is doin GrEaT!
And basically the same from GW.

But we all have eyes, and we see more truth than they want us to.
Like every neighborhood having three or more homes with for sale signs in the yard.
And the word "reduced" below that.
I am amazed how many are actually foreclosures, and not folks just wanting to move to make a "change".

Then you have Citi bank going over to China or Japan asking (begging) to bail out their ass...

So what would you do if come Tuesday 1/22/08 (Monday is a holiday, remember),
what would you do if your bank locked its doors? No $$$? No 401K ??? All gone bye bye!!!
Ya think GW or Fox would drop a hint the previous Friday?
What if China told Citibank to get lost... Bad investment?
What would you do???

Now... sleep tight.

A Zombie Apocalypse is far more likely, as is Global Thermonuclear War and When Aliens Attack!

So no, no lost sleep here.

A 401k is in a trust, Citi is just a plan administrator and they still remain the largest bank in the world. It's a silly question.

 

[Comanche]

I am just pretending that your question has merit. So, in that case, life goes on. I came into this world with nothing and built it up, I can build it up again.

Locked in 3, 2, 1.....

Ah, vying for Dave's coveted position I see. You're well on your way. :roll:

 

[miketheidiot]

You don't have to worry about it because the government wouldn't let citi fail. If it did it would bring down the whole world economy with it.

Daves not here so by default you're the head kook.

Since my bank money is FDIC insured and my 401k money is separate I wouldn't worry. Of course I would stop my automatic deposit to them for my paycheck.

Remember, while your money may be insured, it's VALUE is not. The fed can print as much paper as they wish...devaluing the currency at will. Our dollar is backed by nothing but debt.

If this country's economy is bad enough that banks close Japan or China will be too busy with their own economic problems to worry about our. Many banks, businesses and institutions are world wide

I'd tell everyone Potter was just trying to pick up some bargains. That we all have to stick together, then use my own money to tide everyone over until the bank (Now Potter owned) reopens.

Not another abolish the federal reserve thread, please.

 

[nullzero]

Most people dont realize that we are on the path towards hyperinflation. I will give it about 2 years or so... The reason why the gig has last so long is we were able to find enough suckers to hold our USD. The perferct economic storm is forming, super stagflation here we come!

 

[blackangst1]

What an odd thread. I thought adults would know better *shrug*

I would be fine.

ROFL. Do you really want to go there?

I would make immediate plans to expand my garden.

Maybe you could integrate it with mine? I have 5 acres, self sufficient (5 years worth of food and water), plenty of guns and ammo, and a nice little harem to create our own society.

Oh, and I ordered a few shoulder firing rocket launchers. Should be here next week. Coming across the Mexico border of course.

I'll have to run the "harem" idea past my wife and she what she says.

It sounds good to me though, got pic's? :laugh:

Well first I would strip off all my clothes and run naked down the street screaming like a castrated chipmunk on ecstacy at a rave. Then I would burn down my neighbor's house and steal their car and drive through a crowded marketplace killing as many people as I can.
