Quote from drsteph:
OK. So therefore the goal is to purchase:
1. Real estate at the lows that is income producing
2. Means of real production (industrial plants, farms, factories)
Not easy. I know people have written books about this. I just don't know where they are.
You should take a look exactly where the profits from subprime derivatives went. Better yet, try taking a look at who owns the infrastructure nowdays.
You either get it or you don't. While you are trying to "get it" I honestly think you don't. Your world and your whole line of thinking revolves around your trading P&L. Step back from that for a second and think. What good is your ability to trade paper back and forth when you do not even have the slightest clue on how to provide food & water to yourself outside of the system that you have no control over.
