I was a little tyke during 2007/2008 but would it always hold true that if banks collapse under massive debt leverage will the world market always feel the pain. the answer seems obvious, which is yes. but maybe there's certain investments that are safer than others even in a financial disaster? if there are could you list some?
i can only think of one, gold and other commodities. or am i wrong since those commodities are backed by currency.
in the grand scheme of things i like the idea of self-sufficiency and homesteading anyway so i shouldn't really worry as much about these things as i do, but still...
(after re-reading what i typed i don't even make sense to myself so do what you will with this post lol)
