[Peakoil] Wealth preservation and land

[Alex P]

Hi folks,

I am personally interested in finding land for growing food and becoming a 
bit more self-sufficient.

To the list members who have rural or semi-rural properties: What is your 
experience of purchasing land and using it to grow food?

I'm interested in the posssibility of a land consortium. It's a big 
commitment to buy land with other people, but I'd like to sound people out.

I think Katrina was an economic tipping point. It will have a pretty 
severe effect on US consumers. Since refinery capacity has been taken out, 
it should lessen US demand, perhaps lowering oil demand and prices 
somewhat.

So for those of us with savings, are people interested in getting together 
and buying gold? It can be ordered from Sydney and discounts apply for 
larger quantities. Do any super funds cater to my gloomy outlook, or is my 
super practically worthless already? I'm also interested to know if any of 
you know financial planners who are Peak Oil savvy, or are aware of the 
imbalances of the world financial system.
