Have You Thought About It?
Cash that is.
There is consistent feed back that the Fed and the TBTFs are positioning for a cashless society. Probably in concert with a move to a negative interest rate policy.
But lets consider the microeconomics of the situation. Another words you and me. Lets say on Friday the Fed announced a NIRP which is essentially a tax on your deposits. You go to cash out. Think you will be successful? I will lay one in eight odds you will not be. The reason why is simple. Of all the monies out there representing the USD only 10-12% is in the form of paper notes. That balance is all digital. So if there was a run on the banks for physical cash they would run out of notes in a matter of hours.
What to do then? Well you could run to BitCoin. It would be a good choice. But I would suggest to you that unless you already have an account and holding BTC’s, you may not be successful. The exchanges will be hammered and the exchange rate will spike something awful on the massive buy signal. Fact that would be the time to be selling on the upswing. But where to land your holdings if you can’t get USD’s in hand? My suggestion is make arrangements thru Cooks or Barcleys for a foreign exchange account. Convert your digits to the Pound or Mark. Then when the dusts settles convert to physical USD on the exchange market. The US central bank will most likely not recall physical USD notes overseas till the end of their program. By then you should have them safely in hand.
Something to think about as a hedge.

Mitt kind of put Cruz in a bind. What does he say if someone asks him about Mitt’s attack on Trump? If he criticizes Mitt, he loses party support. If he supports Mitt he appears to be part of GOPe. Not a problem for Rubio and Kasich. They are part of the GOPe.
Mitt is a very intelligent guy who doesn’t have a lick of common sense. Would anyone with any sense at all strap their dog to the top of a station wagon and drive a couple hundred miles?

L.O.L -> CAIR poll of 2000 muslims in super tuesday states.
While Democrats Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)
earned 46% and 25% support, respectively, Donald Trump has the support of 11% of Muslims, more than the rest of the GOP field combined .

6 – I don’t think he cares anymore, the mask is off, smart people know he’s part of the GOPe.. he’s just the one they like the least personally among their own, he will support mitt’s BS. Cruz does what’s good for him in the moment he doesn’t think that far ahead.

I just wish one of the people in the room would have stood up and said “One question governor….. Could you please explain to all the people you sodomized at Bain Capital why you are poking Trump in the eye regarding some of his business failures???? That’s what I thought…. Shut the fuck up…. Dick!

Ghost – I wish one person would have ask Romney about trade.
“Mr Romney, you bring up trade and how wrong Trump is on trade, for over the last 40 plus years, America and her politicians have bent over and taken it up the ass. For over 40 years we (America) has been running negative trade balances, HOW is that winning?”

Trump doing fine….it looks like they are trying to help Kasich in Michigan. Tag team against Trump by moderators and the 3 stooges (sorry Ted).
[27]
Trump should just say I will give up my off the record to NYT the rest of you give up all of yours.
Or Mehgan Chris and Brett do you respect off the record?
[28]
The moderators used graphics only against Trump proving once again their extreme bias.
[29]
Trump should have called Cruz’s bluff:
“OK, I’ll release them…on the condition that you QUIT the race if they aren’t the GOTCHA you say they are. Deal?”
[30]
26 – Nah it’s all about helping him in OH, where he does have a shot. They know FL is lost, they know Marco is cooked, he’s just there to play yapping dog now as the go full deny-delgate strategy through march 15th, that’s the deciding point. I mean they’ve made the decision already but if mailman fails in OH they might pull back, if he wins OH… they’ll be as all in as ever.
[31]
28 – Yeah it was disgusting, it was even worse than the CNBC debate, because there at least it wasn’t all focused on one person. Biggest loser of the night FNC, second biggest Little Marco and liar Ted.
[32]
For all the talk that media types are so ‘smart’, they sure are dumb.
Those that have joined the Trump camp are not going to leave. Polling has shown that. The more they hammer the guy, many undecideds join Trump because they see the assault tactics being applied and don’t like it. The more it looks like Hillary will be the Dim nom the more Dims flock to Trump.
GOPe is not helping themselves, quite the reverse by their attacks. Many voters now view Trump as the MODERATE, when he really isn’t. But perceptions are reality.
[33]
How the hell is the GOP going to turn out big numbers in November WITHOUT Trump…especially if Trump isn’t there because they destroyed him thru attacks like those from Romney?
answer: They WON’T. Turnout on the GOP side will be anemic…and Hillary will be crowned, orange jumpsuit or not.
i am STILL pissed about the Romney thing!

Romney is trying his best to lose the third straight presidential election for the republicans.
He must be leftist democrap.
