Two Things

1.  We are on the cliff, now.  Europe has made a last ditch attempt to shore up the hillside while, at the same time, organizing an "organized" default of Greece.  How did they shore things up - they got the U.S., you, to protect Europe through the Federal Reserve.  Did you vote for this? (Meanwhile, Soros is calling for a world currency).

This could all sound complex, but in a nutshell, Greece is toast, Italy is turning brown, Spain is in trouble.  Germany is fed up.  European money is now coming to the U.S. shoring up our dollar, but this will be short term event.  So, don't think we are in that mythical rebound of the economy.  We are talking a week or so for dominoes to fall in Europe.  As to the impact here, I always guess too short in time periods and, after all, banks and governments are doing their best stick fingers in the dikes.

So, think endgame.  At best, a mini panic with stocks spiking, business winding down, and more layoffs.  Probably, to my view, a second recession. At least, the slow motion collapse will end idiot monetary interference based upon a long dead English bureaucrat.  Did you notice the President called for MORE printing of money as a plan to stop the result of printing money?  (It seems to me, the real forces that run things are moving to have Mr. Obama announce he is not running by years' end. Watch the news, the pressure is mounting everyday by merely reporting the crap that is going on and, now, being outraged.)

If you are keeping dollars, you may as well get some and stuff them in your pillow to cover the worst case scenario of bank holidays.  This is only a remote threat, but it is real and the idiots who deal with world finance make things worse every day.  You won't lose any interest by having cash (come on get some "junk silver,") as there isn't any and the dollar devalues daily, anyway.  (Buy coffee and cords of wood.) The goal, now, is to survive the next few years without permitting the growth of a fascist state, which is, after all, the point of the way we are handing the crisis.

The only financial plan I could suggest is get a small mortgage at a low fixed rate and buy silver.

Keynes is laughing in the afterlife.
