I don't own a single stock or bond, the only paper I hold is the green stuff in my wallet. Paper is just paper, nothing else to me. Give me gold, silver, guns, ammo and supplys thank you very much. My investments are antiques and guns period and hold a small amount of gold +silver I bought and stashed in the bank>30 years ago. I had some stocks several years ago but when I saw the web sight boom and bust that came 8-10 years ago. I could see that holding paper on something thats an intangible entitey would be stupid and I can't understand how anyone in there right mind could put there cash there????? I had some stock before that, i'd gotten at a couple places I've worked over the years and some Ben&Jerrys when it was a local start up. I did quite well with all of those, I held on to them for several years and they all split 2 and 3 ways more than once while I owned them. I ended up selling them in the early 80's just before the bottom fell out in 83-84. I was very lucky and did well enough to finance my second house with 40% up front. But I'd never do that again with all the shyster busness's like AIG, Fanny& Freddy, and the banks, NO FRIGGIN WAY!! Stocks and bonds can be manipulated so easy it's just not a safe place for your cash anymore. In a way that's a shame too, those investments in stocks could be used to hire poeple and expand busness's in this country, but the way things are now,administrativly, it's not worth the chance of investing. Prety sad comintary, right.
