        I'm not talking about the ag economy...

        What's my indicators? Lumber jockies in the cities have yards so full there's no room to put it, mills so full they are slowing down production to keep from running out of room.

        Huge trucking companies with 30 to 50% of their fleets idle, and they haul general freight, and it's the holiday season.


        Friends of my wife who work in the city, have had their wages cut, or went from full to part time.


        Friend of mine who is a partner in a construction engineering firm... they went from swamped to taking rotating 6 week vacations.


        On the farming front, way less machinery getting moved...


        Just look on the major highways. Way less traffic.


        Internationally? Look at shipping rates over water...


        Look at exchange rates... new taxation policies... China's growth, and market.




        forage, there's lots of money to be made, but if you're sitting on cash when the big thing happens you're going to be wiped out.


        Not my family's first rodeo... but this will definitely be the big one.

          Things are not really that bad right now. Will make do with spending a little less. The 8 year old car and 10 yr old Dodge diesel will soldier on for another year with a few minor repairs. The economy doesn't have to boom all the time. Biggest problem with people doing that is tax revenue for government falls and government debt in Canuckistan will expand like a mushroom cloud over the next 10 yrs.

              baltic dry index(ocean freight index) lowest in recorded history. This is what happens when those pulling the strings shut off the money tap. Allows them to accumulate hard assets on the cheap before they crank tap back on. Its 08 all over again perhaps uglier, but what would you think would happen. The same cheap credit that got us in the 08 mess continued. Whats going to happen next lower interest rates and heavy money printing because we know foresure Trudeau has his foot on the spending gas peddal.

                What does well when economies sour? Can look at places like Detroit for inspiration. Hobby is on the right track with rope lol, booze does great, weapons manufacturers tend to do well, payday loan companies flourish, security companies boom, im sure antidepresants will be in high demand as well.

                  "forage, there's lots of money to be made, but if you're sitting on cash when the big thing happens you're going to be wiped out."
                  Klause I guess we all have our ideas of what could happen if it gets crazy out there. You hear some saying the same as the remark you just made, yet after talking to a what i consider a wealthy smart business man, who owns land, buildings, and at one time a very successful business, this was his answer " if it gets really ugly out there, I would rather be sixty years old sitting on cash, than thirty years old walking on borrowed time"

                    There will only be a problem if there is a shortage of goods buy. No shortage of money. Worthless money being used to purchase scarce commodities and goods equals Weimar republic.

                      You stole my runway line lol

                      I'm coming up on twelve years of this and I never thought it would get this weird seven years of zero percent and a two hundred plus trillion dollar credit market with governments spend 30g per person per year.

                      You guys need to understand the world has never ever been here but when it has been close its ALWAYS been war.
