Huh? Stock has never been riskless, period.
Since most of the world uses silver and gold for money, it appears to be the least risky investment, despite the volatility.
I sure wish I'd put some away at $7/oz.
I'll bet you're pissed you didn't hold on to the silver when it went far north of $20...

Every investment has risks. You can lose land to Eminent Domain, or someone could dump toxic waste on it.

A pleasure to meet you, doctor.
Now, to call the meeting to order. I think we've all had a chance to examine the economy and the state of the nation. We've round general malaise, inability to work, and disregard for the Constitutional regimen the patient should be following. I propose to the committee that we proceed with confining the patient to locked ward. For the inpatient care, we proceed with a constitutional left liberaldectomy, with no anaesthetic. After electoral removal of the cancerous liberal growth, we'll put the patient on a forced regimen of employment, tax reduction, and overall return to constitutional regimen. Do we concur on this, doctors?

HAYELL NO!
Indeed. The enormous purchases of tanks, guns, ammo, body bags, caskets, etc. in recent days by Homeland bodes very unwell.
True, but that can happen to anyone/anywhere, when someone just wants anything you have, or what they -think- you have. Armed yet?
