12. He isn't.
The market is going to crash tomorrow. I predict announcements from the China central banks tonight. Possibly by midnight EDT... It will not be good.

You gotta know that there are a whole bunch of "3am" phone calls going on right now.

15. So what do you use for money to buy the cans?
Edited on Thu Sep-25-08 09:30 PM by Xipe Totec
Don't know about you, but I have at most 30 bucks in cash; the rest is (or was) in the bank.

5. I've been stocking the pantry all year
beans and rice are a really good idea as well. load up on spices and actually drinking water could be an issue

Edited on Thu Sep-25-08 09:29 PM by Journalgrrl
Took all my accounts to a couple dollars today, cash in pocket only till this mess is over. Filled the gas tank and I already have a 100 gallon tub full of foods, rice, flour, etc... just in case.

we live in a snowy area, should start by next month...so I am stocked up on firewood too...

yep, these freaks are going to try and steal the election by not having one! Martial law, here we come...
