The Ultimate Hedge?
Let's say the entire economy collapses. Currency becomes almost worthless. Unemployment is sky-high. Let's say another great depression. How would you prepare? Let's be realistic because it could happen.
The Ultimate Hedge?

Be white. Race war would ensue and of course the armed, intelligent, whites will band together and reestablish communities and economy.
In all seriousness not even a /pol/ tard
Thomas Wright
medicines
long shelf life foods
guns
ammo
water treatment/fresh water access
be fit as fuck
learn wilderness survival skills
agricultural land far from dense urban centers
Ian Powell
Guns and gold.

Unless you live in a region where it rains every week then water will be the most valuable thing. Buy a huge rain water catching system

You'll need farmland, privacy, family, survival skills, and guns. Anything less and you'll be robbed/killed for your meager success because Bubba and his pals are hungry and you're the only one around with food.

It's not going to be complete lawlessness. It's more about surviving poverty I think. Having weapons would help obviously. How can you survive financially? Let's say you're rich and the economy tanks. How can you stay rich?
Jayden Parker
Keep your stocks in stable companies (those who attract government contracts or vital services), have a strong investment in gold (NOT bonds), make sure to own entities that produce actual services/goods rather than simply funny money, IE:
Farms/Orchards
Privatized Medical Centers
Real Estate
Earning less money is fine during a major depression, having your money disappear is not. Also keep an eye out for buying companies/investments for pennies on the dollar 2 years into a depression/recession, that's when the most damage has been dealt and it's safe(r) to start buying for that sweet discount.

Invest in liquor, long shelf life, can be used as a fuel or anti-septic, plus, people will want higher quality stuff until decent stills get up and running.
Cigarettes and lighters too, people are gonna need their fix more than ever if the economy tanks.
Also, and this isn't a physical good, but is still useful, learn a trade of some sort, plumbing, electricial, welding, various handyman skills, will ensure you can be a prominent and valued member of your community.
