Boas Recomendações

Visto que o nosso caminho está traçado, e promete ser turbulento q.b., aqui fica uma lista de boas recomendações oferecidas pela Nicole Foss do sítio The Automatic Earth. O artigo é mais vasto e encontra-se aqui:

1. Hold no debt (for most people this means renting)
2. Hold cash and cash equivalents (short term treasuries) under your own control
3. Don't trust the banking system, deposit insurance or no deposit insurance
4. Sell equities, real estate, most bonds, commodities, collectibles (or short if you can afford to gamble)
5. Gain some control over the necessities of your own existence if you can afford it
6. Be prepared to work with others as that will give you far greater scope for resilience and security
7. If you have done all that and still have spare resources, consider precious metals as an insurance policy
8. Be worth more to your employer than he is paying you
9. Look after your health!

O Fim do Jogo... possivelmente

Diapositivo nº25:

The problem is not Government debt per se. The real problem is that the $70 trillion in G10 debt is the collateral for $700 trillion in derivatives...

Yes, that equates to 1200% of Global GDP and it rests on very, very weak foundations.
