What's so troubling to me is that this might not just be the US, but worldwide. I shudder when I think of every currency collapsing at once, or one after the other like dominoes. I've tried everything I can to convince friends and relatives that they need to get out of dollars and end the monetary illusion.

Few have. Only my wife, my 4-year old son, my mom, and my brothers listened and have loaded up on the right stuff.

All my friends, the ones who were busy laughing at me in 2005 for not buying real estate (and aren't laughing anymore, since they did) still think I'm crazy, but now for different reasons. Why would you want to buy oil at these prices? It's going down, and everyone is broke. Why would you want to buy gold stocks when gold can't seem to respond well in crisis? People don't have money to buy gold. Prices are going down, not up. BLAH BLAH BLAH.

Now we know why most people miss the big moves, get caught in these inflations, and most suffer. They fail to think, and think to fail.
