As I dug deeper into the inner workings of the economy I became convinced that most of it was – like the housing industry – a house of cards.
Diversification for me boiled down to just a few things that I can have faith in. I'm not alone in this camp, I've heard Eric Sprott speak about this as well.
I always look for what could tank my basket of eggs. Today I found one thing I’m fearful of.
The oceans contain about 13 billionths of a gram per liter of seawater. If I did the math right: I estimate that we’d have about 708,738,078 kg of gold if someone found a way to mine the gold from our oceans. Provided that gold wasn't needed and didn't kill off the entire ocean.
According to this ZeroHedge article there are about 24,258200 kg of gold held in reserves. Provided of course, that Moron Bernanke nor any of his idiot predecessors haven’t sold ours.

But, I figure the chances of some genius scientist or inventor finding a way to extract it economically - before Bernanke and the 535 clowns in Congress and the Senate (Ron Paul and the handful of physically responsible adults excluded) destroy our dollar -are slim to nill.
So I sleep just fine. I don't use Ambien anymore - I got Bernanke and 535 clowns destroying our dollar faster than any scientist can create a technology to do the impossible. Thank's Willy-Nilly!
