Do you really think that if it comes down to a guns and seeds situation that domains will still be a valuable commodity? How do see online commerce taking place at that point, a bag of carrot seeds and a silver coin in trade for some web design work?

I can't wait to read the Twitter updates during this economic apocalypse that you guys are predicting.
"A flash mob just stormed through my backyard and ate my dog. Not worried."
"Thank God Google hasn't skipped a beat, just found a sweet recipe for marinated tree bark."
"Just tossed another car tire into the fireplace. My eyes burn but staying warm. About to update my blog."
"Does PayPal still accept copper phone wire? Just about out of funds."
You can ignore reality, but you can't ignore the consequences of ignoring reality
Ignore what reality? Aren't you the same guy that was talking about stockpiling rare comic books during an apocalyptic financial meltdown?
I think that most people who sit around and constantly obsess over and talk about the end of the world are people who hope that it actuality happens. Maybe they hate their job, or feel locked out of opportunities, and some how believe they could finally thrive if the whole system were flipped on it's head. It's like people who are obsessed with the rapture, people who in actuality are quite likely locked in an ego vs mortality struggle.
It's the same deal with people constantly predicting the end of the United States, something that's been happening continuously since 1776. They hate the culture, the foreign policy, and want it to crash and burn. They're not going to come out and say that straight of course, they'll just dance around the issue every time it's raised.
I'm a huge fan of the expression money talks and bullshit walks. Someone who actually believes the end of the world economy is near isn't sitting on a domain trading forum talking about it. They're building a bomb shelter in their backyard and stocking up on canned goods. If the end is near then the 28 domain traders who read this thread probably wont be bumping into you in some Mad Max kind of world, so why even sweat it?

Yep. I'd be willing to bet 30 years from now the guy will still be doing the same thing."Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result." Albert Einstein
Every few months you pop up and predict an imminent apocalypse. A few months go by and you and your charts are proven wrong. A few months later you pop back up and predict an imminent apocalypse only with a slightly different spin. The pattern of course repeats itself. Have fun with that...

Can I ask you a serious question? How old are you? What predictions have you been right about? Gold going up? Thats not much of a prediction.Aaccording to my score card, I am winning on my prediction from when I started this thread.
Some of you are just going to have to learn the hard way. :disappointed:

Raider maybe you should take a moment to read the words of your beloved Republican party today who voted overwhelmingly to support the largest Pentagon budget to date - $690 Billion. Funny how you so blindly pin all blame on the Democrats when your own party is as much OR MORE to blame for the financial situation America is currently in. Funny how MORE Democrats voted 'nay' than those fiscally responsible Republicans today...
Why is America in so much trouble - because of the blind support of the Raider-types.
Is the banking industry not the private sector? Obama has proven it doesn't really matter who is on office, things will always be status quo. They're all just puppets on strings. How many years have americans been indebted for these wars now? 10-15...20? It makes the "stimulus" look like nothing in comparison when its all added up.You mean the DEFENSE spending bill that pays for our Military and Soldiers who are fighting 3 wars? The budget that STILL needs to be reconciled in the Senate by your beloved DEMOCRATS.
How many BILLIONS LESS do you think the Defense budget would be IF only your Boy Obama kept his campaign promise to bring combat troops home by May 20, 2010?
hmm?
The Defense Budget your so outraged about is $9 Billion dollars LESS than what Obama wanted, And your blaming the Republicans for it being to high? What a complete ignoramus you are.
Funny watching you throw a tissy fit over a $690 Billion Defense Bill that supports our troops but you wouldn't utter a word in the last 2 1/2 years over the $787 BILLION dollars your boy wasted away on everything BUT the private sector, where it should of gone in helping improve our economy. And did you hear? The Stimulus money is running out and many States are broke again, they want another handout which is more borrowed money that our children and Grandchildren will have to pay for.
And talk about blind support, you and all the other anti-war dunces on this forum supported Obama for his strong stance on bringing troops home from Iraq, but he instead sends 30,000 more troops and still you dunces support him, Were not only still in Iraq, were fighting a NEW WAR in Libya thanks to your boy, but you say nothing about that, And now your whining like a b*tch because were spending money to support those wars? GTF out of here you hypocrite!

I am going over my portfolio agressively. If I have it developed and I'm going to keep up with it, I'm keeping it.
If it is parked and making >reg fee, I'm keeping it.
If not, I'll try to sell it and if not that, I'll drop it.
