Economic indicators I watch are all in the red. Banks are hanging on by a thread. They have already started limiting withdrawals of cash - not all banks however.

The stock market may start dropping tomorrow. It may be so bad they halt trading.

My wife and I just made a big Costco run yesterday. Had our gas and diesel farm tanks filled this week too (we are at our other home in Colorado). Not really interested in going to town if things start to get weird.

Politics are really out of control with Israel prepping for an imminent attack on Iran. Civil unrest here in the US is a factor too. Anything can upset the cart. Too many things seem to be going critical.

I am only posting this today in hopes someone might read this and then say to themselves "He may be wrong but it wouldn't hurt to top off our food supplies just in case. Maybe hit the ATM for a bit of cash just in case. Maybe fill the gas tank too."

Now if you are invested in the stock market, you might just want to watch that opening bell tomorrow morning at 8:30. You may find things interesting.

We shall see...
