  • Cheer up buddy
  • some have called me a pessimist and to them i would ask, what is your definition of a pessimist? could it be an informed optimist?

    and on a side note, collectables did remarkably well in wealth preservation and growth through and after the first great depression.
  • Go hit the Precious Metals forums - they're loaded with this kind of info. I enjoy reading those posts... er, well, not the messages of gloom so much, but the general insights image

  • You aren't a pessimist. You aren't chicken little. The signs are there for all to see, provided ones head isn't in the sand. That being said, there is nothing to be done about it. Its far too late. Enjoy yourself and your loved ones while things are still "normal".

    No personal offense meant, but I must wonder why anyone would come on a card collecting board to link this crap?
    Free speech and all, but is anything acceptable as long as it's slugged OT?

    Now here is a great idea. Cards about DOOM. Not just those sports cards but cards about all the Gloom and Doom going around now.
