  • Subprime
  • Easy credit - "What's in your wallet?"
  • Countrywide Financial
  • Debt
  • Deficit
  • Deflation
  • AIG
  • Credit Default Swaps (CDS)
  • Collateralized Debt Obligations

  • Housing Bubble 2.0
  • Helicopter Ben Bernanke (Benny and the Inkjets)

Bang:

  • Systemic complexity and lack of redundancy result in unexpected collapse
  • Lack of trust stunts economic growth
  • World turns on U.S. and the Dollar and opts for an alternative reserve currency
  • Black swan: fill in the blank
  • Crack-up boom
  • Velocity of money slows to deflation or hyper-deflation
  • Inflation, hyperinflation
  • Unfunded liabilities
  • Municipal default-ageddon
  • Derivatives blow up
  • Obamacare and the Cloward-Piven Strategy
  • The One Bank presses CTRL+Alt+Del and Resets the System
  • Bernanke shows Yellen how to CTRL+P on his way out of the Fed.
  • Gold drains out of West until, for all intents and purposes, it's gone
  • Sharknado!

If you haven't already, buy gold and silver and hold it outside the banking system. Consider holding some cash outside the banking system in case the bang (crash) finally comes. Be prepared. Have a couple of weeks to a few months worth of water, food and other provisions in case things get sideways. I'm not too sure about the Zombie Apocalypse, but be on the lookout for the blood sucker below.
