As we say often here at Peak Prosperity: When it comes to preparing for crisis, it’s far better to be a year early than a day late.
I’m perfectly willing to be early on timing, as long as I get the direction right.
For example, I invested heavily in gold and silver beginning in 2001. My first purchases of gold were at $300/oz. Silver at $4.53/oz.
I was early. Prices didn’t really start taking off until 2006.
The bulk of these purchases happened after the sale of my house in 2003 when I had ~$250,000 of gains I had to do something with. I rolled all of it into bullion.
I was early on selling my house, too. The housing market didn’t roll over until 2007.
Was I early on calling a housing bubble? Yep. Was I correct? Again, yes. Looking back does it matter that I was early to both the housing correction and precious metals rallies? Not at all.
Here again I can state with equal conviction that we each need to be prepared for massive changes coming. If that sounds vague it’s because they are going to impact virtually everything and every system we hold dear.
Political. Ecological. Financial. Cultural. Social. Our lives. People we know. Our communities. All of them. Every. Single. One.
Massive debts, insufficient resources, rising pollution, collapsing food webs, and a near incomplete ability to have a proper national or global dialog about any of these things. That’s what is setting the trajectory.
Now, I very rarely send out Alerts. An Alert is triggered if and only if I come across information that causes me to personally take action.
Which I why I’m now issuing an Alert that after nearly 20 years of living in the same geography, I’m relocating. Recent events have accelerated to the point that I’m no longer comfortable in my current location.
My top priorities: more land, a more robust local community that shares my passion for resilience, and state government that has greater respect for the individual and personal liberty.
Specifically, I’m placing the greatest value on… (Enroll now to continue reading)

Executive Summary
- Clarify the specific outcomes you think are most important to prepare for
- Models of regeneration (vs consumption/extraction)
- High return-on-investment steps everyone should take
- Make of yourself a model to inspire others

I worry that almost nobody is ready for what’s coming.
Not financially, not psychologically or emotionally. And not with respect to their current lifestyles.
My decade-plus tracking the data leads me to conclude that:
- Food insecurity will be part of my future.
- Energy abundance will diminish over time
- The financial system has enormous losses baked right in and they cannot be avoided
- Our local city/town or communities will feel the impacts of the loss of purchasing power coursing through their veins. This ‘simplification’ will be very destructive to those unready or unable to adapt.
- Either humans voluntarily stop putting too much carbon into the atmosphere or nature will force that outcome under far less favorable terms.
- Travel will become quite limited and perhaps become an unaffordable luxury within the next couple of decades.
Do you share these?
If so, I don’t want to panic you. Quite the opposite. I want you to realize that while these are potential eventualities you can’t control, you can do plenty about how they’ll impact you.
These are the smart responses virtually anyone can take that will offer you tremendous advantage against…. (Enroll now to continue reading)
