LMAO

Just remember, human behavior is the biggest factor in the stock market. When everyone panics, and things drop to their knees, so long as elimination is not immenent, it's a good time to buy and watch the panic-er's crap their drawers as they watch their "dead" stock rise from the dead.

Or just buy a bunch of toilet paper. It seems to have a steady [though slow] and promising value. $10K worth the TP will be worth at least $15k in 10 years. Finding a way to store it effeciently may be a problem, though...
