MSN.com talks about investing for the end of the world

Well, well, well. It seems that even investors with lots of money are concerned about TEOTWAWKI. They don't say anything really new about the problem or the possibilities, but there are still some nuggets of knowledge in the article.

Here. Read.

Yes, I did. I'm skeptical as to how good some of the private shelters really are.

I've looked into some just to see what you get there r some really bad ones out there that are a kin to tornado shelters but claim fallout shelter... to those that will run you about 50k and come with all the air filters, reinforced doors, etc. etc... so just got to look into it, and you will find them.

I remember the fallout shelters that were built in the fifties....they made great teenage party shelters in the sixties.

Tornado shelter/fallout shelter aren't THAT far apart...only difference is the door sealing & filtered air supply.

I honestly think just about everyone who doesn't live on a Flood Plain should have a tornado/oh-squish shelter.
You can even build it where it's part of an underground firing range

I'm still amazed they insure wood-frame homes...I'm thinking, Why bother?? Fire-prone, wind-damage, etc...a drunk in a car can take out a wood-frame home. Concrete & Steel is the Way To Go...and halfway up a hill so yer outta the 100-year flood plain. (Ever notice how 100-year floods are happenening about every 10??

The only thing cash will be good for in a SHTFS is a billion dollar "End Of The World" bonfire. No wonder they're nervous, it would be like a beacon for aliens.
