I have patience. All the signs are there. I'm not gambling on an economic collapse. I'm simply preparing for it. Its going to happen in some kind of form. The dollar has lost about 3 percent in the last 2 weeks alone. I live overseas and have been watching my income drastically take a hit (paid in dollars) here over seas. I simply follow history and prepare as best I can. Also, I am very comfortable where I am financially. No worries there. Its like preparing for a tornado if you live in Kansas. I'm simply building my tornado shelter in case there is a Tornado. At least I'll have the shelter for a serious storm even if the "tornado"(full economic collapse) doesn't happen. Good luck to you.
