But if things get real good, and we are living in a post apocalyptic world, what do you do with stocks, unless they are livestock

I agree with everything you said, OP.
Problem is, there's not much to invest in.
Any stocks will only have value in USD- if the next correction is what it looks like, that century long scam will come to a halt.
That means total shut down- only things worth anything are bartering tools. Precious metals might be okay long term...
Only thing I can think of is land. Buy land, and the means to protect it. Then you have to live on it. And without money, you'll need to grow food on it.
All of this is very hard to do in today's world. The only way to be prepared for the collapse is to be self sufficient- and the people in government make their living by making sure we depend on them.

Unfortunately land ownership is just a piece of paper too. The illusion of owning land is as big as the illusion of paper currency.

That's easy to predict. Republicans are in charge,so many job losses, a recession for the poor and working class(that's funny), and unpaid for wars.
