I posted this on my trapping forum back in April. Everybody should learn the term "reserve currency (global)" and how that effects them. We may all be getting to know what reserve currency means in short order...

I was stuck in the Tampa airport for about 3 hours a couple Saturdays ago and has another 5 hours or so in transit so I bought a new book to pass the time (haven't bought a new hard copy book for while, bit of a sticker shock!!). Anyway, the book was called The Death on Money by a guy named James Rickards. He's been around a while:

James G. Rickards - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Very interesting read. Because I'm not in the position to get the assets that he claims are more sheltered from the paper money/financial earthquake he says is coming (land, gold, fine art, natural resource based mutual funds/hedge funds) except the last one maybe (being the employee of the federal agency that I work for, I can't own any mutual funds that are over 50% value in gold--I might have some sort of insider knowledge [which I don't]). So, I guess I'll be along for the ride, but at least I'll know where its coming from...

Here are a few book reviews of The Death on Money:
