It might be time to invest in a mattress, and I don’t mean buy a new mattress

Oh dear.  Jeremy's putting on his foil helmet again.  


There's a fine line between paranoia and being knowledgeable.   Woody Allen once said, "Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not after me."  Of course, Woody Allen was a bit of a nut job, but that's hardly worth mentioning. 

If anyone has noticed, the economy kinda sucks lately.  Blame whoever you want, it doesn't change the fact that you're not going to fix it, you can really only figure out for yourself how to manage until it blows over.  Therein lies the rub.  Right now, there aren't any good investments.  Stocks, Bonds, Commodities, Currencies..everything is headed right down the pan.  Even gold has dropped almost $100 an ounce today (accurate as of this writing...that'll change in like 5 minutes). 

The best thing to do, I think, is to stuff all of your money underneath your mattress, and buy a nice, trusty shotgun to protect your valuables.  I've linked to this before, but you can also nab yourself One Of These Gems for a little extra security.
