  1. JB is right. that’s why I didnt buy the gold ETFs when I was worried world crapping out during the financial crisis. if you’re really that scared, you take possession of the asset vs. trusting some intermediary do it for you.

  2. “I bought bulgar wheat, wheat berries and whole oats at Fairway yesterday, does that count? I am keeping them in a cool dry place.”

    I hope you filled up your gas tank at the same time 🙂

    Do you have a horse? Sounds more like horse food!

  3. “jessi, they buy futures. I don’t have a place to store actual grain and I think grain doesn’t last forever in storage.”

    Well, then you must feel that there wont be a total economic collapse because you still believe that a stock market will exist that will allow you to make money off the rising cost of commodities (i.e., the world wont really be out of control if institutionalized trading can still be around).

    Makes me feel a little better.
