After listening to the advice on this forum, I'm not quite sure what to do. Your money is never truly protected, no matter what you do. The value of currencies and commodities fluctuate daily, and who knows what will fall in value to another? To avoid hyperinflation, I guess I will just have to look for the warning signs, and that is the price of various goods increasing by 50% within about a month or two. When I see that, I will immediately convert to precious metals. The creation of the Amero, and the merging of the U.S with Canada and Mexico concerns me a lot. In fact, it is enough to make me want to move some place else.........once the American Union is created, the United States is finished.
Do what I did. I turned it all into pork butt and stored it in the root cellar just beyond the cement pond. I can always eat pork butt if things get bad. I can't eat dollars (unless I just want fiber) or silver and gold (unless I just want minerals). Keep you money where it is. Or, you could always spend it on a preloaded ZUNE at Walmart...OUCH... Jim
