The markets are crashing! The markets are crashing!!!

"Hide your kids, hide your wife"...

The stock market is getting raped. Anyone else here invested in gold, silver, or precious metals?

How many people are investing in food, ammo, and weapons?

Naaah its not going to crash, they'll just get another bailout for 3 trillion dollars

why not make it a gajillion while they are asking ?

STOP PANICKING. WOW.

This site is really going downhill lately.

See this whole buy Gold and Silver madness....

First are people physically sitting on there gold and silver as in have it there infront of them... if not, when the markets collapse and there no money anywhere.. how pray tell do you think you'll get your Metals delivered? and if you dont get it delivered how will you force the folk who physically have it to give you it?

Secondly (and more importantly) if the markets crash absolutley crash... having Gold and Silver will mean nothing... two reasons... it is only worth what monetary value or financial system gives it, take for example this thought...

You may have a ton of gold... i may be the only person who can build you componenet for you stove or boiler or car or cut keys for your house... now if the entire markets collapse and money has know value.. i charge you half a ton for my services... you choices are except that... or dont get the service you need...

I keep reading about people Gold and Silver "savy" purchases but do people not realise a precious metal is only important in modern society because we treat it as such and need it for its conductivity properties and its rareity for Jewlery etc. now if the entire world economy collapses, these things are of absolutley 0 (zero) importance...

you know what to invest in... sell gold and silver and buy... how to books, buy no electrical based tools, learn how to live off the land, learn how to have some worth while services that other people need...

Like i cannot possibly go through another month of people talking about clever investment when... if things properly go pear shaped having gold will be much less important than having a huge yard of steal and glass and having the correct tools to do somthing with it


Just my thoughts.

The financial system is all just a big joke

The stock market is much like a baseball game, complete with reems of data and tons of talking heads discussing each play, the over paid players, the teams, their owners and the minor league markets.

And the crowd calls out for more and applauds it all.

Step right up folks and buy your ticket to the big game.

The market usually crashes like this during a period where investors know that something is coming. In other words, take the advise of most of the people on this thread, suit up, burn all your cash, which might mean nothing in the near future on physical consumables... food, water, lots of guns (not consumable, but not a bad idea).

I do agree that this could just be a dip, but this is a big dip to take, and the timing is impeccable. I saw multiple posts, as well as articles relating to a major freeze in trading that started yesterday, and that hasn't changed through today TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, if I'm wrong let me know.

Not to mention the events going on around Denver, and all of the rumors that are spreading around regarding a major fail for banks all over Europe, including Greece, France, Germany, ETC. Once again these are just rumors, but the value of almost all currencies is down far below what we are used to in recent years (meaning the last 10 years). Inflation has hit us in a big way, and it will continue to do so, and our "money makers" or traders, or investors, or whatever the hell you want to call the Elite are tucking tail and turning their backs on us.

Something big is coming, I can just feel it in the air, everyone seems uneasy.

Not if you bought gold and silver when Celente said so (years ago), or like me when I started really looking..
Gold was 1343.50 /troy oz
Silver was 27.14 /troy oz

Now is not really the time to invest in anything, if you buy now it's just to try to cushion the blow when things finally collapse, try not to loose your shirt and pants, at least keep the pants.

I'm not even sure what to think of most of these posts. 2 dimensional thinking in my opinion; "its crashing", "it's not crashing, it's just a bad day". It's neither, it was shot down before any of us were born. If you look at the history of the dow, back when they started destroying the usd in the 50's and then really ramped it up in the 80's this whole thing doesn't even make sense. If you factor in inflation just sense the 80's, which the gov't does not, the dow should be at 60,000.

Got my silver when it was $12oz and gold at $900 so although i'm not thrilled it's still a long way from a loss,if silver ever goes back to that price i'll be buying more too but i can't see that ever happening

I have a very sick feeling that the folks with the real power are going to stage a financial false flag.

Problem, reaction, solution... The markets will free fall [rigged game] , the average joe (like me) will freak [martial law contingencies in place], and they'll roll out their solution - they'll steal every last bit of 401k and some pension funds and offer government annuities in exchange. That will prop the bond market up for their buddies. Folks will be so financially traumatized and in fear for their futures that they'll be willing to accept the solution that the monied elite have in mind.

From Bob Chapman's site
theinternationalforecaster.com..." target="_blank" class="postlink">Market Havoc and Threats to Your Pension

Text We have warned subscribers and listeners and those on the Internet over and over again that government was going to come after your private retirement funds including 401K’s and IRA’s that hold $6.6 trillion in investments.

This past week in a grand deficit cutting bargain the Senate Finance Committee explored “Tax Reform Options Promoting Retirement Security.” The excuse is to make 401K plans more efficient; to keep Social Security afloat and to switch funds from these retirement plans to be used elsewhere by government. It is called a looting procedure. The idea is to replace the 401K with a tax break that would allow government to offer bigger benefits to low earners and changes in withdrawal choices at retirement. It would include a change in the way Social Security benefits are calculated to reduce eventual payout and subsidize the poor via a government guaranteed annuity. There would also be an increase in the retirement age. This approach is similar to something you would find in the communist manifesto. Take from the bigger producers to subsidize the lesser producers. Each according to his ability and each according to his means.

Not looking too good for us peasants. The politicians and monied elite have no Souls.

See this whole buy Gold and Silver madness....

I see it.

First are people physically sitting on there gold and silver as in have it there infront of them

I do not have much but, yeah, basically it is here.

it is only worth what monetary value or financial system gives it, take for example this thought...

I am curious on your thoughts of ancient Egypt and all the gold there?

I believe that gold and silver will always be worth something..............Jewelery for those who think they are better than everyone else.......

You may have a ton of gold... i may be the only person who can build you componenet for you stove or boiler or car or cut keys for your house... now if the entire markets collapse and money has know value.. i charge you half a ton for my services...

I would first ask you if you were serious.....Then i would politely ask you to leave.

you choices are except that... or dont get the service you need...

Or learn how to fix it yourself, or look for alternative methods.

I keep reading about people Gold and Silver "savy" purchases but do people not realise a precious metal is only important in modern society because we treat it as such and need it for its conductivity properties and its rareity for Jewlery etc. now if the entire world economy collapses, these things are of absolutley 0 (zero) importance...

Again as far as I know ancient Egypt did not have electricity....Some would say so but.

by no electrical based tools,

Why not learn how to make your own. I have a few cheap 5 and ten watt solar panels.........You would be one up on everyone if you can generate power..........Even mobile power.

Like i cannot possibly go through another month of people talking about clever investment when

My Silver Eagles are more of an addiction that an investment thought right now. I plan on keeping them for a while..................Clever investment is a pipe dream,,,,unless you are already a millionaire.

if things properly go pear shaped having gold will be much less important than having a huge yard of steal and glass and having the correct tools to do somthing with it

I am currently trying to up my solar and tool supply..........There will be plenty of steel if/when SHTF...........I want to make a wind turbine, but the government is taking my money

Just my thoughts.

My thoughts also.

LJ01 was bored and chose to reply to your comment..................Star for you

Btw it's not crashing.Markets go up,markets go down.Pretty simple really but feel free to panic and make someone somewhere some money from it

Crash and burn........

To create something new we need to destroy the old rotten unfair market.

I wanted to say the same thing but you beat me to it! Its all fake and just numbers in a computer. I can't afford to save a penny, never mind "invest". Let it burn folks, it means nothing to life, just to greedy speculators and profiteers.

R U people tired of these cronies yet? Banks take , rob you blind. Pay off congress thru gift money so that they can make laws to make them bankster mobs more rich while you the taxpayer flips the bill. EVERYONES BILLS, are getting higher, but the earnings from your job is alot, ALOT less. While food prices,transportation gas prices rises to a drumbeat of chaos. With all your bills getting higher, I do not see any rental property going down with the economy tanking and it will stay that way. Pretty soon you all , ALL will be in soo much debt and more and more people will be going to court to relsolve bill issues they cannot pay. Repossesions will be the norm and pretty soon the brand new garbage can with the very ,very rusty bottom will fall out and this new trash can called the stock market, that When that happens, i hope for your sake that you took your money out before then , because the banks will take it and you will not be alowed to withdraw anything. That i fear is in the very, very ,very near future and there is no stopping it. I hate to be a fear monger, but when these people keep taking, the only path is DOWN. Get the drift. Other countries will soon fall and you know it, WE the taxpayers will bail them out to supposedly stimmulate the economy in some way, supposedly. If you keep taking money out of the cookie jar pretty soon there will be no cookies left. get my drift. If we let this happen, soon the INSANITY will engulf us all. Get your cookies in order here and make sure that they don't take any more of yours. These bankster cronies must be stopped, they are ruining the country that we love and protect.

edit on 22-9-2011 by cloaked4u because: (no reason given)

Don't worry, a be happy. Don't worry be happy. oooh a whoo a ooooh. Just be happy while they keep ripping you off. NOW, go outside take a deep breath of that fresh air and smile to the world so that everyone can see it and be happy too. DO IT NOW. smile, be happy they rip you off. bnd ovr and smile. OK.

Guys, 300 points means nothing.

Actually, it means buy some stocks, because they're likely going back up soon.

Yeah, buy a whole lot of stocks, your guess is as good as the ELITES, oops the elites win whether it is heads or tails. OOPS again, the quarter is a two headed SNAKE. You win just enough to stay in the game, YOU KNOW, just go to the casino, you get the same odds on the slot machines. These mobster bankers all think alike. A greedy f-n pig. (for nothing, persons in greed).

So true.........many years ago when the Chicago mobsters where taken to see Wallstreet their first comment when they saw the action on the trade floor was......."we are in the wrong business"
