Beginning of the End

Holy moley. Have you guys been looking at the markets today? Libya in turmoil, Saudi police firing on protesters (with the "day of rage" tomorrow), China doing badly, unemployment spiking, and Spain downgraded only days after Greece. It's like the perfect storm of suck. Add in a severe default of a US state's finances and we get a yahtzee triple word score bingo excrement hitting the rotary ventilator of epic proportions.

Is this the beginning of the end ladies and gentlemen?

I have my ammo, and guns stockpiled and also have access to several large pieces of land for water/food/shelter so I'm prepared. Question is: Are you?

I am a native Texas so dibs on hiding out with you. Only have kimber 1911 .45 so won't really add much value to you but i can be a great asset when a light hearted sidekick is needed....no homo.

 

Also, beginning of the end should read, "beginning of a double dip recession". Clearly the earth will not split asunder and swallow us all in a fiery inferno of agony and despair. At least, one would hope.

 

That Kimber is a nice piece. I'm sure we could get a deer or hog with that if need be.

Monkeysama, you do provide some pretty good laughs, so I'd invite ya over.

I can only hope... that it's the beginning of the end, in terms of big government.

 

Where’s Bernanke? QE is like Rocky movies – just when you thought you it was over… BAM. Rocky 7. Or QE 8. This is America. We synthesize bull runs.
