I bought one of those buckets'o'foo from Costco that is supposed to be 3 months supply of foo (only if you kill your own meat), I have a couple of different styles of water cleaners, plus some bottles of water, a block or 2 of life-boat food packets. DW and I have set up a meeting spot. These are more along the lines of what to do for a natural catastrophy but will help out a little if things fall apart.

Yes, there is some really great advice on preparation for a rainy day (or year
) on this site. I'm so glad I found it.
I will check those out at Costco.
I checked with both of my IRA's and they are also diversified into some emerging markets and global investments.
But, my fund manager...who is a really sharp guy...said that they ARE in dollars, of course. He didnt recommend I mess with what I have, but that if I wanted to start another, he would do some things to take advantage of what is going on with the market right now.
With this newest fund, I want to try and do something in a foreign currency...perhaps an asian currency.
What do you think?
Of course, on the other hand...
I'm hearing that the dollar is very bearish right now.
