One again, I am not surprised by anything this economy does. We are in a free fall. The biggest buyer of treasury notes are selling them as quickly as they can. One for political reasons, and the other because they are smart. They see a monumental crash and a lack of a return so they are getting out while the getting is good. The one company, an ally has had a financial collapse years ago and I think they want to avoid it again. And, yes, the USA was heavily involved in its problems.

To save ourselves, buy metals. Most of us cannot buy expensive musical instruments, sports cars or antique vehicles. We cannot buy pieces of art. Anything of real value is out of our reach at this time. My suggestion, as Greg has said, is buy silver. By pre 1964 dimes. Yes, it is only 90% silver, but they are a tier 1 coin, truly backed by US fed. There aren't many left to buy but it is one of the best ways to have real wealth. Thanks to Greg, I have been buying silver.

Greg I used to work at an armored car company (the people who fill ATMs). These companies are not doing well and they have very high turnover rates. I got paid $21 per hour to do a risky job and that was in a relatively high cost of living area. 21 bucks isn’t worth it to sit at an ATM with $100,000 when anyone can just drive up and shoot you. I think if people aren’t able to withdraw cash it is because whichever armored car company they use is not doing well.
