  3. Buy trees....

    I am being dead serious here. Look back at Bismarck and his investment philosophy. He was preoccupied with making good investments. He ended sticking all of his money into trees and forests.

    Did quite well actually considering all of the WARS, DEPRESSIONS, and so on that occurred during his lifetime and shortly thereafter... He is a quite interesting study in economics and leadership.

    Why trees?

    People will need wood regardless. If there is less need of wood then your trees just get bigger. Meaning, you get a compounding dividend growing on your property. In inflationary times wood gets more expensive.

    It is a win win situation...

    Bismarck also talked about the psychic/emotional boost he got from just wrapping his arms around a tree. Hence the term "Tree-hugger."

    Honest.

    LMAO. Thank you

    What happens if there is a forest fire, or termites. I think I am going to call state farm tomorrow and demand I insure the trees in the back yard.

    1) selling insurance to suckers on all of those events.

    2)Use the proceeds to buy, in no particular order
    1) secluded defensible (underground?)
    property, nearby freshwater fishing.
    2) guns & ammo
    3) food, seeds
    4) alcohol, cigarettes
    5) bordello

    Centerfire ammo 9mm, .223 expensive and u will be on a waiting list to get

    Many truckers are now armed

    .22 and most SGN ammo is good for hunting, do not know the availability.

    Physical gold has been hard to get for awhile, but you do need enough to bribe the border guards:)

    MY LIST
    12 guage
    Mini 14
    .357
    9MM
    2000 rounds for the above, will be able to obtain additional rounds off down cowboys
    muscle car
    Clorine for water purification
    hand tools
    seeds
    land
    trees
    Copy of US Marine Corps Survival Guide

  10. Actually you dont. Money is not really made from wood. Its a combination of 25% linen and 75% cotton. If it was made from paper, then when you wash it, they would disintegrate.
