Title: 2013-10-11 Bloomberg : How to Handle a Debt Default. You Know. Just in Case. Post by: bobdude17 on October 11, 2013, 08:22:04 PM http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-10-11/how-to-handle-a-debt-default-you-know-just-in-case-.html
Quote Me: Hey curious what you think: are you worried about default? Me: cause I'm terrified Mark: um Mark: I just wish I had more cash on hand to invest in case it does. This was reassuring, kind of. Maybe there would be an upside to any chaos. Mark: The U.S. will lose its dominance with or without a default. Mark: Gold & bitcoins are probably the only other assets to compete [with Treasuries] Title: Re: 2013-08-19 Bloomberg : How to Handle a Debt Default. You Know. Just in Case.

Time to get some BTCs :) Title: Re: 2013-08-19 Bloomberg : How to Handle a Debt Default. You Know. Just in Case. Post by: aigeezer on October 12, 2013, 12:34:23 PM Spoiler: Bloomberg's advice is to keep calm, stay the course, keep your eyes fixed on the tail of the lemming ahead of you.
My profound observation: That could be good advice (or not). Myth-breaking factoid: the ubiquitous lemming suicide meme was invented for a 1958 Disney film. It is phoney - Google "lemming Disney" for the repulsive details. Example from Wiki "the lemmings did not voluntarily jump into the river but were pushed in by a rotating platform installed by the film crew". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Wilderness_%28film%29 Maybe this story will help us feel better? "Michael Bloomberg Wants To Be Mayor of the World" http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,2154409,00.html Note to self - buy some red pills (not that kind, NSA watchers). We live in interesting times. Title: Re: 2013-08-19 Bloomberg : How to Handle a Debt Default. You Know. Just in Case. Post by: dree12 on October 12, 2013, 08:44:45 PM Why is the date being listed as August 19? I know English is funny in the sense that "October" should be the 8th month, but the 19th day does not seem to stem from anywhere.
