“Look out for #1, be sure not to step in #2, and always look out for yourself.”

Funny!

Now….speaking of “retarded”(?)…

Some high schoolers (after I gave a lecture on the upcoming inflation and depression of our economy) asked what investments would be good…my (retarded?) answer was along the lines of investing in “those things that can be eaten by moths, will not rust or could be stolen…” It is my (naive?) hope that Americans can shift from an “economy” to a larger “ecology” — where we actually “look out for number one” by taking care of those around us.

So when you say, “look out for number one”…I agree, but only to a point. Yes…be educated. Yes, plant a garden. Yes, keep some real currency (gold and silver) as opposed to FRNs, but in times like these, it is more critical than ever to take care of–by investing in–those relationships around us.
