So, why should I not join in an investment that I think will unravel in the next 5 to 10 years? I get the profit by getting in early, double my money, hope I get out early, and if not, I can deduct the FULL amount that they said my account is worth on D-Day minus 1.

So If I put in 1 million, make a million over 7 years, take out 1 million, let the rest ride, loose it, then I can still deduct 1 million from my taxes in the out years.
Sounds like Win-Win to me? Thanks to the Gummint for saving me from myself?

I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' 'bout half past dead
I just need some place where I can lay my head
"Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
He just grinned and shook my hand, and "No" was all he said

Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me

Picked up my bag, went lookin' for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side
I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, let's go downtown"
She said, "I gotta go, but m'friend can stick around"

Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me

Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say
It's just old Luke, and Luke's waitin' on the Judgement Day
"Well Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"
He said, "Do me a favour, son, won't you stay an' keep Anna Lee company?"

Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me

Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog
He said, "I will fix your rack, if you'll take Jack, my dog"
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, I'm a peaceful man"
He said, "That's OK, just feed him when you can"

Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me

Catch a cannon ball now, to take me down the line
My bag is sinking low and I do believe it's time
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone

Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me

Oop's, did I say something wrong?
Seems the ATM Process can be hacked through user lack of attention when they use their cards, so now you will soon get a Text Message about large transactions, and then YOU have to notify the bank.
Soon we'll have to police our own data in the cloud, and notify the Cloud company if we see our own secure data being exploited.

It doesn't look good, from this small and probably insignificant point of view.

"I was in Tanzania recently, and I walked into a bank, and I wanted to convert about $3,000 into shillings because I was going out into the field, and I needed to pay some miners. They handed about two-thirds of my money back to me, and they told me they wouldn’t exchange it because the bills were made prior to 2000. "

It's not because of the value of the American Dollar that they would not trade in the bills printed before 2000, but because of all the counterfit bills based on those printed paper money representations.
Anyone who's traveled to Africa "Knows" to only take new bills with you if you're bringing Cash. My daughter teaches in central Africa in the summer and even she knows to only bring bills printed in the last few years when she get's her emergency money from the bank for the trip.

It's not the value of American money, it's the risk of having some of it being Counterfit. Most any travel site will tell you that before you head off to Europe, Africa, the Orient or the Middle East.

That said... I do have shares in GLD and SLW.

"Sing in me, Muse, and through me tell the story
of that man skilled in all ways of contending,
the wanderer, harried for years on end,
after he plundered the stronghold
on the proud height of Troy. "

Hopefully after being harried for these last 7.5 years, we will finally come out of the darkness into the light.

It's perhaps strange that a man of light (skin) put us into the darkness,
and hopefully a man of the dark (skin) takes us to the brighter days.
