Locking in your money in CD's will provide you safety of principal and a rate of return. In the year that the stock market is down 40% my CD's have earned me about 5%..

My favorite- "Wall Street is the only place people ride in Rolls Royces to take advice from people who came in the subway." In my childhood the idea was to save money. Then people started talking about needing to keep up with inflation. Then the focus was to diversify. Then people were made to feel like morons if they weren't making a killing in the market (like we are all meant to be Gordon Gekko). All this moved people away from saving cash like my grandparents, which brought more benefits than just a penny saved. It moved people from focusing on saving and building, to laying it all on black or red for one big score. It takes hair stylists more time to get a license than it does a stock broker or financial advisor to get their's. Warren Buffett gives great quotes.

I frequent a site called bankaholic.com. They featured an article about how bad things could get. This whole thing is based on the introduction of derivatives. Interesting read if you have a minute (kind of lengthy). http://www.brockfc.com/lets-understand-this-economy.html You are totally right about the mayhem yet to come… I frequent a site called bankaholic.com.

Or just BUY actual gold, and keep it in a safe deposit box or safe at home. No one questions what gold is worth when things are bad; but it's always good. People that support fiat money systems over those of gold or silver materialist...well...enjoy your 'consumer confidence indecies.' Also, you could move to Mexico, where there are American gated communities, everything is cheap, and your money turns to eleven times it's value once you hit a hundred miles or so past the border. Just some thoughts of mine. You could shove all of your money in gold. Or just BUY actual gold, and keep it in a safe deposit box or safe at home.

It can only transfer wealth from party A to party B. That is what is happening with the bailout. An economics professor of mine used to always remind us that government cannot create wealth.
