Karl, remember Forrest Gump. His shrimp business sucked until the hurricane wiped out all the other boats. If the heavily leveraged shops go under you become the only game in town.
There are no problems, just opportunities.
I hear ya, and that's kinda what I've been banking on. Keeping my overhead super low, all my equipment is paid for etc. But its starting to get rough for me. The nicest thing about having a 1-2 man operation, is that it doesn't take a heck of alot to get and stay busy.
Warbird- buying gold is definetly a good plan. Silver isn't a bad investment either. Gold has been on the climb since early November, it was down around $740/oz (USD), but a few months earlier it was over $900, (around $930 I think I saw it top out at). Gold will always be worth something, even if currency fails in a severe economic collapse. So will whiskey, and bullets for that matter.
