Any stackers here?

Lol, its not that bad mate, outs not that bad. I think they gave enough NV goggles for their whole country and if the needed more, they probably could bring back tens of millions of them from overseas.

But make sure you have a decent stash of ammo, in the US people are stocking up on ammo majorly. The first rule of doomsday prepping is don't tells others where you stash of stockpile is.

I am amazed - how insane this has gotten...my wife works in supermarkets as a rep and she is seeing fights everyday x 10. The local police and now attending supermarkets to help enforce restrictions!!!!!!!
SWM has a point here - imagine how crazy things would get if a real emergency occurred...fark - I don’t understand the panic...I really don’t - is it media driven or over reactions? Or wtf? . It’s not like Coronavirus gives you the s**ts...

People are dumb our and simple, haven't you ever been to doing centres the day before Christmas or Easter... when shops will be closed for 1 day, its nearly as bad.

But its also a cycle, you need toilet paper cuz you ran out, so you goto a. Coles, nothing there, then another Coles and finally see one bag as a 3rd Coles, you will be slightly upset and maybe irrational if you and southern person both reach the toilet paper at same time, even though both of you are not hoarding.

Hey imagine if it did happen you had a secret stash of stuff, you could umm have an unlimited supply of girly friends

Its only just beginning mate. People are wigging out now and things are not even that bad. Imagine if it was like during WW2 where everything was rationed because there was not enough supply.

Irrational, unprepared people are dangerous because they are unpredictable.

Interesting where share market has gone since this thread opened...
Some have said big opportunities out there but it would be a brave person in today’s market

Ahh been looking for this thread. Just watched Netflix.

Didn't realise in 1933 Franklin Roosevelt forced everyone to had over their stashes of Gold to the Fed for $20 per oz.

Once the Fed had all the stock next year they increased the prices of gold to $35... making them a profit of nearly 75%.

I wonder if they did it in Australia... considering the situation now.... what you all will do with your stashes of gold.

They could only take of the people who,

A: Were dumb enough to get it send to their own homes and ,
B: People who are dumb enough to post about it on social media.

Just saying

Well, lots of bad news day by day, but there are some great opportunities out there to set yourself up for the long haul. Even now there are some awesome bargains. I bought some Shell the other day and will buy more. I am due a big whack of RIO, Broken Hill and Fortescue dividends next month so will be reinvesting those.

There are lots of blue chip stocks like Verizon, AT&T, Intel, Apple and others where I am really not down that much at all.

When all these people are panicking running around with their hands in the air and peeing their pants is when it's time to be a shark.

I’ve never bought gold to put away but I’ve or ways been a bit of a prospector nothing to serious but have been lucky a found a few nice bits nothing huge I’ve never sold any I’ve or ways kept it saving it All up for years thinking one day I might have enough to buy a new rifle but I’m still looking I’m sure there’s more in the hills somewhere.
