NO ANNUITIES!!!!!!!!!! Billionaire fund manager, Ken Fisher said: "I would rather burn in hell than sell you an annuity"

Worst investment ever. All fees are paid upfront
You don't like annuities?! I bet you like your social security....

I agree with Omlete.... If you're under 50 smoke the market...
If you're young up and down markets don't matter... let it ride

Again... once you are within 10 years of needing it go safe.

Think about it... in 2008 the crash... end of world... housing market crash... duh... sell... DUMMY....
Every guy who didn't bought shares for years at a discount price...
Now up 4x in ten years....

I love that the Health Care Bill failed... the market shrugs... becomes cheaper....
Will continue to grow... always has.... always will...

Of course nothing is ever certain.

I've heard this before, so let me throw this out there. We have the Baby Boomers with all this wealth in investments, as they need money and such who is going to buy it? If there aren't enough folks to be supporting a program like SS, why would there be folks able to buy the investments of our Senior Saints at great or even good pricing? Wouldn't the "tea leaves" say we are headed for an economic collapse?

Yes we are, eventually.

We are on the cusp of the largest wealth transfer in history.

Please tell me that you don't keep it at your home in a safe. :yep:

If it is in the bank they can take it from you by closing the bank.

Hopefully it is spendable silver. Silver Dimes and Quarters!!

True but people put too much faith in your average safe. Hell I have opened GSA containers in 30 minutes. Once knew an old guy that had over a million in cash in a fucking gun safe. When I explained to him how fast I could be in his safe he put it in a bank safe deposit box.

I think the key to safes is people not knowing that you have them.

Obscurity is beneficial in safe placement, as well as who even has knowledge it exists in the first place.

Having a million in cash is rather stupid to begin with. That shit burns, loses value every day it is sitting there to inflation, and ultimately is just a piece of cotton.

People like to brag about things. Show one guy the safe and when he's at the local bar he tells 2 guys who tell 10 more and one of them will be a bad guy. These are the kind of people that will use violence to get the combo because they're too stupid to open the damn thing. A safe will get you killed.

That is just stupidity in action.

If I had a safe my parents might know about it, but that would be about it.

Silver is cool but I collect sea shells.
My collection is pretty large.
I keep it on beaches all over the world.
You might have seen it.

I took a dump there once. And cut my foot on one of your damn shells. I now know who to sue for damages.
