Recession:
Quality asset can turn into junk in recession, how one can assure it will be quality in the future?
Nobody can ascertain of.
Look at Japan, more than 2 decade already aftermath of RE bubbles, still not fully recover.

Hyper:
You RM10 cash under the pillow still a Rm10, it won't grow due to hyperinflation.
Only when you income grow exponantial in hyperinflation time.

Nobody want to lend you money in hyperinflation situation, who is the fool to lend you money in a hyperinflation situation?
Banking system may not even exist or run properly.
Loan? where to get?

You cannot take in what happened during stability time and put into those extra-ordinary time and expect it works the same (banking system). It doesn't work this way.

See how Lehman filing bankruptcy can cause the entire financial market into liquidity freeze, all stand still. All financial game change during that time. People fear about banks ability to return on money, instead return of money.

War, buy building? buy asset? buy stock?
If really war, then it means we are talking of changing gov entirely.
So the new gov will recognise this building is owned by you or not?
They can just confiscated like that, why you can do?
Nothing.

Stop believing nonsense,    no offence, if bad situation happens, everyone is the loser.
Nobody gain if war coming, nobody gain if economy run into crisis, chaotic situation.

It is aftermath, when thing settling down, aka the new era, you can take advantage of, because it start off clean or all over again. But again this may mean you lose everything previously.

I don’t know. I had tried to present based on history, what is real happening.Until tomorrow is coming, nobody can predict what is going to happen.

What I do today, is what I think the best for my family at least based on what people were actually doing in past.

Please wish me some luck.

I'm just curious when somebody mentioned about investment in weapons and guns, does anybody here really own a gun? Though I know it's not legal but it can be quite useful in case something really happens...

Who you want to shoot?!

You'll never know, it's for protection 

OMG! I found a killer on the lose!

Nah, I don't have a gun...yet...

Oh too bad. I own one, my mom gives it to me the first day I'm on this planet.

OneBuck,

You have not look FAR and WIDE across history of many countries and places.

Malaysia has 1.2 millions to 1.6 millions civil servant and GLC employees.  This is out of 8 millions to 10 millions working age people.  So far, we did not have any crissi that affected this group of people over the past 50+ years.  Not even in 97/98.  In worst case scenerio, the government run out of money and laid of half or more of those people, can YOU imagine what will happen next??

Dreamer

At most, don't you think the government will charge more or exorbitant tax here and there?

Did your mom survive?

With the "gun" he is referring, and with your question "did you mom survived".... Is very pathetic awful!!!

I beg to differ.

If there is recession, war and changing of government, then it is the cash cow people to have advantages though with risk.
In fact, during war, crisis and chaotic situation are the best chance in your life to do investment because nobody can anticipate the future look like.
It is the only time when the poor(with cash) has the chances to become rich by buying ample of land, stocks and properties.

To become rich, u need to take the risks.

Take for example, those who buy lands during WW2, have became millionaire already.

As I said before, it is aftermath, when thing settling down, then it provide the opportunity, but not during war time.

You are talking about small small war, conflict.
I am talking about big war. 

WW2, you use banana money buy land?
buy from whom?
Japan?
British?
Malaya?

Who issue the grant to show the piece of land is belonged to you?
Japan?
British?
Malaysa?

One is running for life already, still care about land, stock & properties? 

As I said before, it is aftermath, when thing settling down, then it provide the opportunity, but not during war time.
