Ok, this is too doom and gloom, so we’ve tucked it after the jump. You know how we’ve been saying cash is going to be king in this impending disaster that is our economy? Someone sent us this quote: “Gold has been a medium of exchange for over 2,000 years. It is nobody’s debt and is not subject to counter party risk.

It is the sheriff, the quintessential anti-investment.” May want to pick up some this weekend, along with canned goods and a gun. Godspeed!
