If peak oil hits us as disastrously as many predict, then it is very unlikely that cash (money) will maintain its value in its present form. It makes much more sense to invest into tangible forms of capital like new and higher quality housing (zero energy houses) in order to transfer capital from the present unsustainable economy into an uncertain but very much different future. <br /><br />Selling stocks in order to keep our capital in cash is the correct advice for a passing economic storm. It could be a disastrous advice if the storm that comes will never end. <br /><br />RobertAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861605.post-68038166303282957482011-10-09T11:47:39.694-04:002011-10-09T11:47:39.694-04:00Very nice points, Kurt!

What the world needs now are innovators and people who aren't afraid to think outside the box.<br /><br />The sad thing about this is that people are misled into thinking that the only way to prosper is through conventional methods. We should take this opportunity to remove obsolete beliefs and replace with "something" that would be ultimately better for everyone. Now that problem is finding what that "something" is.<br /><br />Juan Miguel Ruiz (Going Green)<br /><a href="http://www.GreenJoyment.com" rel="nofollow">GreenJoyment</a>Juan Miguel Ruizhttp://www.greenjoyment.comnoreply@blogger.com
