true.. we haven't been in a real war in so long when it starts u will know.. only peeps that are bothered by wars since 60's were our military and their friends and family cause we just borrow $ to fight them.. when they start taking welfare and ss checks and asking us to donate metal for the cause thats when u will know what war is.. i juist hope they ask for it through internet and tv because i fear we won't have them.. Russia has had subs around the cables that run communication for weeks that scares me more than bombs..

yeah but when the power goes off won't be no jobs or bills to pay anyway u have to go hunt for your food anyway man, $ worthless if that happens.. u know that property taxes were invented to pay for ww2 right?, after they paid for it they just turned that $ over to counties thats y small towns like mine have nice schools etc that we wouldn't have but i'd have $1,500 more per yr.. but we haven't had to suffer anything for 16 years of "war" not fair to our military really.. point is we made war easy, it isn't supposed to be easy if rich peeps loose electricity internet tv and can't pump gas for their 200k cars or for that matter were inconvenienced in any way we would have wars at all., but they are the ones that own stock in companies that make weapons...

We'll have power. And banks are important if you still wanna get paid. After the 2009 financial crises happened, banks got bailed out. People were pissed off about it. What they need to understand is that's how they get a paycheck....payday. Thru a bank. No banks, no $$ for any of us, and we'd be really suffering.

See what happens this year....I fear another recession may hit us. Far worse than 2009. There's been plenty of signs pointing that direction.

i got scared when stock market hit 14k now it's 24k which is stupid.. us hardly makes anything few cars everything else like tv, appliances made elsewhere so whats that crazy high # based on?, just smoke and mirrors just like before the recession, so when it drops back to 10k everyone will loose 401k and 500,000 peeps will kill themselves.. stock market average is based on same thing boss amps base their watt ratings lol..

More than likely several stores will be closing on on the verge of closing due to online buying this year.Walmart and amazon already kicked it into high gear.How about those Black Friday sales profits??

Sears will be closing more stores....in Feb just saw an article on that. I think this year is gonna have some hardship involved. Because people are buying more and more online. Why drive there and fight a crowd?!

Should be very concerned about this....if it does go higher, should be worried as it can drop w/o warning any day, any minute. Stock market prices are from those overvaluing things....my house for example is over the 300K mark. It's not worth that much. At all. Souldrop had made some pointers on this in another thread in Thunderdome. Worth a read.

I'm honestly surprised at the number of retail stores that are still open.

I wonder if the hedge fund will eventually pull the plug on Sears Corp. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

We're waiting for the real estate market to crash here in Ames, then my mom is going to scoop up some property. Several large apartment complexes have been clearing out neighborhoods. Iowa State enrollment is still increasing, but the amount of available housing has surpassed student demand. The average price of rent here is plummeting next year. When it does, many of the individuals who rent out property (but aren't rich) won't be able to turn a profit. There are a lot of people in the area who will go to the bank and get a home loan, buy a house, and the money from the renters pays the mortgage. Their intent is to eventually have steady income from the property once it is paid off. When they aren't able to charge more for rent than their monthly payments, we're going to see a huge surge in the housing market here. Right now, it's a seller's market, but it won't stay that way forever.

The more I think about things, the more I think we should invest less money in the stock market and more in other ways
