I'm not on the market for ANY equipment for the time being. If the economy really does crash, it's going to be big and world wide and horrible. I pulled everything I have out and have it in a protected account.
My dad just pulled his Costco individual stock at 71 dollars, the highest it's been. He got lucky. The day after it droped to 66.00US, but that was up from his initial purchase at 31.00 US per share. He dodged a bullet and is now drawing 5.25% in a protected account also.
My mom, an avid and good personal investment person, always the optimist about the stock market, has held out thus far and not pulled any of her very diversified assets, which are fairly large, but I think she's dead wrong this time. I really wish she would dump it all, mutual funds included, and get into a money market protected fund.
This is no joke. If it happens, it's going to be big and change the the world in ways we cannot envision.
