    Default What Is Your Safest Investment?

    Families have been hit hard in the recent economic down turn.
    Personal incomes have sunk for some, and home values and
    retirement funds have plunged for many. Where can you find
    a truly safe investment? The big question on the mind of many
    now is: What is the best way to plan for the future? Is there any
    safe investment?
    To those who understand, no explanation is necessary; to those who do not, none is possible.
    Nathaniel Branden, "Social Metaphysics."

    Treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is; treat a man as he can and should be and he
    will become as he can and should be..

    -Goethe

    I shall be glad to hear from you, since questions have have always interested me; questions, not
    debates - I have given those up long ago. Life itself is a quotation.

    Nope.

    Tectonic change as a result of complacency,that's what we are in the
    It will be a while before the concept of safe investments become realizable

    The coming global financial crisis will affect everyone.

    Most are likely 2 get burned 2 a lesser or greater degree.

    Buy and hold iz dead. Volatility rules. Risk profiles change daily.

    Absent a complete breakdown of the market clearing system the Permanent Portfolio developed by the late Harry Browne iiz considered by some 2b a good way to hedge against multiple crisis outcomes.

    The Permanent Porfolio consists of :

    25% stock
    25% cash
    25% gold
    25% bonds

    U can also investigate the fund PRPFX 4 further details.

    We think we can live at the expense of others, even if government must print or
    borrow money to pay for it. But no one has the authority to take from others what
    he can provide for himself. Coveting ripens theft. So we must live with the
    consequences of our collective behaviour and choices, consequences we could
    have avoided.
    To those who understand, no explanation is necessary; to those who do not, none is possible.
