So the question keeps coming up:
" In an effort to keep some value while the dollar goes down, is there a best currency to exchange into?
I'm considering the Swiss franc for a chunk, but am not sure they won't let it fall right along with the rest.
Ideas?"
Here's what I want you to do: Get a small rubber mallet.
Place your left hand on the table. Take the hammer in your right hand.
Every time you start to form the question "Is there a best currency..." I want you to smash your fingers
Nice and hard.
My point is to use pain to waken youi to the idea that we are living in a world where the ultimate scam has been pulled by people who combine two diametrically opposed words into a phrase and then drill it into your thinking.
The words are what? "Paper" and "Assets" - it's like 'military intelligence' or 'fighting for peace' - the concepts are contradictory at some basic level that has escaped you.

You wash up on a desert island. Nice place, sun, gorgeous beach, yada yada. Now I hand you a list of items that you can pick from to have with you on the island.
See if you can find the least useful of the bunch. Ready?
* An attractive member of the opposite sex.
* Water
* Food
* Clothing
* A library of good books
* A shortwave radio
* Flashlight
* Fishing gear
* Lobster trap
* Tree climbing gear
* A saw, hammer, and nails.
* A small pile of paper with various symbols, incantations and zeros on them.
