Its not the stock market which is going to take people out, its the dollar itself, its usefulness as a "wealth transfer machine" is now over and the Central Bank needs to inflate it away, with it will go the pension system and most of the unfunded liabilities.

As a result of the dollar going down the stock market, bond market and real estate will revalue at a 90 to 95% reduction.

Precious metals will go up hundreds of times over in value, because that is where all the wealth is being transfer'd too. Why do you think China and Russia as well as all the banks and other countries have purchased massive amounts of gold and silver as well as mines over the past decade, why do you think the spot price has been held around the price to mine, meaning currently the value is nearly the same as it is to mine it.. Silver is actually at a 5,000 year low. Why do you think this is? The answer is easy,,, its the same reason all of a sudden there were two scrap jewelry buyers in every strip mall. All the gold and silver was being stripped from the public as well as being mined at rock bottom price with monoply money, at the same time the people of the world were being distracted with fake wealth and trinkits while they were actually "free range slaves" helping to mine the rulers gold.

Hedge funds and investment banks will go "poof" and be gone. Banks will only be able to lend what they have on deposit. But central bank owns it all now, they have all the paper on all the assets.

The only way you could protect yourself from this is to have invested most of your money into the proper assets.
